[10] This volume comprises translation (pp. 1-191) and commentary (pp. 195-491) plus indices
[11] The pseudonym of an unidentified author
[12] Said to be the expanded second annual edition of this work. The contents in practice are a combination of astrological horse racing information to page 85 and from pp. 171-6, with a length general section entitled “Your Good Days in 1969” for the 12 signs of the zodiac, spanning pages 86-170
[13] Pseud. jointly used by Mme. Henriette Michaux and Louis-Henri Horicks in their combined work, according to Le Vicomte Charles de Herbais de Thun
[14] A stamp to the ffep gives the publisher’s address as: 10a, Rue de Savoie, Bruxelles
[15] Dated 1997; but this must relate to the first impression
[15a] Copyrighted 2014, but no separate date is given for this apparent eighth version, which was issued through print-on-demand by Lightning Source in 2020
[16] Dated 2001; but it is unclear if this truly relates only to the 1st printing, as seems likely
[17] Dated 1988; but this refers to the first printing of the first combined edition; the actual date of this printing may be closer to my date of purchasing it, which was 1996
[18] The date of reprinting is not given, and while it may be presumed 1916 or soon after, the paper quality is fresh enough for a considerably later date to be plausible
[19] Not in Karlsruhe or Worldcat
[20] The foreword is dated 1978, but the DNB records 1979 for the actual date of publication
[20a] After the original edition of 1982
[20b] DNB gives 1977, which is supported by internal references in the publisher’s foreword
[20c] A credit reads: ‘Sometime Lecturer in the Department of Sanskrit and Allied Languages, Ramnarain Ruia College, Bombay’
[20d] After the (second) edition published in Bangalore City in April 1919
[20e] The present edition is said by Krishnamurti, the son of the late original translator Sastri, to have been ‘thoroughly revised, enlarged and… enriched by the addition of a revised and enlarged chart of the Picture of the Heavens’. Sastri is said to have died in November 1953
[20f] After the original edition of 1903, the second of 1919 and the third of 1937, q. v. above
[21] “M.B.B.S., M.D. (Med.), FNCCP, FCCP (USA); Formerly Porfessor and Head, Deptt. of Medicine and Cardiology, RML (Willingdon) Hospital, New Delhi; Formerly Consultant to three Presidents of India” (credits cribbed from title page and foreword)
[22] The copyright and editorial and design credits are separately attributed to Brown Packaging Books Ltd., Bradley’s Close, 74-77 White Lion Street, London N1. Further credited is the Project Editor, Brian Burns
[23] After the first impression of 1988
[24] This copy may however be a later facsimile reprint. The staples, covers and paper are suspiciously fresh-looking
[25] The address has been struck through in black ink and replaced by a stamp reading ‘Solunar Research Publications, P. O.Box 1073 Sta. A, Bay City, Mich. 48706]
