= Koeman II: p.50, C: "With atlases of this category, we can no longer speak of a regularly produced edition. Copies with 100, 200, up to 600 maps of various composition are known (...) Messrs. Covens & Mortier collected hundreds of different maps from various publishers to bundle them up in atlases of a diversified composition. Their 'Nieuwe atlas' was often assembled by order of the collector. The register was always handwritten. The title-p. was never dated. Among the names of the publishers of these maps are the Netherlanders: P. Schenk, G. Valk, H. de Leth, F. de Wit, et al. and foreign map-makers including Homann and d'Anville, The atlases belonging to this category were sold by Covens & Mortier during 1730-1794 and even later by their successors."

= Rare. Orig. published in 1744, this Pygmalion-like satire tells the (soft erotic) story of the abbé Philandre and a doll: "Having failed to seduce any society women, Philandre is about to rent a shopgirl's hourly affections when he is transfixed and aroused by a beautiful eight-inch doll in her shop - the form the sylphid Zamire assumed to attract his attention. It's love at first sight, especially when he dishevels her clothes and notices she's anatomically correct. After he gets her home, the doll comes to life and, seating herself on a copy of Duclos's Confessions, explains that sylphs attain immortality only after they fall in love with a human and - more importantly - cure him of his 'faults and follies.'" (Moore, The Novel: An Alternative History, p.346).
