It is followed, on the next page, by a list of Taft&acirc;z&acirc;n&icirc;&rsquo;s works, with their respective dates, derived from Taft&acirc;z&acirc;n&icirc; himself.</p> <p>The error arose from confounding the present work with that described under the preceding nos.</p> <p>A list of the contents is added at the beginning of the volume.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
