Publisher and date of publication from Cohn.
"The wrapper to the first number speaks of thirteen parts, but it is practically certain that only twelve were published. Either the thirteenth part was merely an extra containing the title page to the volume, index, etc., or the part was not issued. In the reissued by Carvalho the twelve parts only are referred to on the wrappers."--Cohn.
