Yes, we plan to have the first volume complete in approximately one week from now. The complete edition is in 4 volumes, the other three volumes will appear subsequently, I hope in a few months (they have passed P1, need P2 and F1, and will skip P3 and F2 that will be done offline comparing with the wikimedia edition). I have cross-checked a part after P2 with the wikimedia edition, and the comparison runs smoothly, identifying a small set of remaining transcription errors evenly split between the two. The result might be error-free. The book is in the Pagnerre 12th edition 1848, and the first volume is just a revision of the first 1835 edition (I take the informations from http://www.loa.org/volume.jsp?RequestID=202§ion=notes ) so it is complete in itself. If possible, it would be nice to reserve 4 slots that would fit the complete set. The last edition published by Tocqueville is the 13th, that has an additional appendix. The 12th and 13th editions are regarded as the definitive editions. The 13th is available at the Internet Archive, I will see what is reasonable to do to make the PG edition the authoritative online edition. Maybe a transcribers note at the end, with an analysis of the differences, and the additional material of the 13th. Carlo
