The first part of the earlier work apeared in 1897 and the second in 1899. Probably no more than about fifty copies of this work were prepared, lithographed in the printscript of the author, and privately distributed. The Notes may be regarded as a source book of geometric curves, with a pinstakingly prepared index containing more than a thousand named curves. The text consists of brief descriptive paragraphs, with diagrams and equations of these curves...". (DSB II pp. 478/480)**7587/7590.arm1D‎
