1720 another copy, folio, having 80 plates; fine copy in old Dutch calf gilt 1720 In the latter copy eight of the plates are mounted on two leaves. The missing plate is "Koning en Koningin van de Missisippi."

The plates (some with English and some with French descriptions in verse), are all full of humour, and ingeniously illustrate the swindling of the share market and the avidity of mankind. The book has considerable intrinsic interest, shewing, as it does, the Origin, Rise, and Progress of the famous South Sea and Mississippi schemes, the sudden fall of the shares in 1720, and the adventures of John Law.
