"N.B. The purchasers of the Taylor’s guide are respectfully informed, that when the work was first put to press, the proprietors intended to have four plates, and in the course of the work have accordingly referred to plates, A, B, C, and D, but when the work was completed, they found the whole of the patterns could be comprised in three large plates, therefore whenever reference is made to plate C for any article, it will be found by examining either plate B or D"--P.

Abstract:
The first edition of one of the last and most interesting continuations of the Arthurian cycle. An expansion of the story of Tristan and Iseult, Ysaie is the story of their son, born to the couple just before their deaths and a few years before the collapse of the Arthurian kingdom. The romance deals with the troubled years after Arthur, and the efforts of Ysaie and his own son Marc to combat evil in post-Arthurian Britain.
