- For what it's worth: the _Encyclop_edie m_ethodique_ (Paris:
- Chez Panckoucke, 1782-1832) is not an exceedingly rare book among North
- American libraries. The Research Libraries Information Network records
- copies at: SUNY, Binghamton; Canadian Centre for Architecture, Montreal;
- Old Sturbridge Village, Mass.; University of Minnesota; Cornell; Getty
- Center, Malibu; University of Pennsylvania; and University of
- California, Santa Barbara. Doubtless there are others.
