The same record indicates holdings of this title for V. 1-6, 1808-1939, which suggests that the "1838" may be a typographical error.

The record in the Nat. Agric. Lib. cat. gives the following information: "Vol. 1 published 1808, v. 2-3 by 1814, v. 4 about 1818, v. 5, 1826, v. 6, 1939".
The record in the Univ. Chicago cat. indicates that v.1 = 1808, v.2 = 1811, and v.3 = 1815.
