The Arabic title page reads 'printed in the city of London in the Christian year 1830'; the library labels give 1831, the year the Cairo editors give (Cairo 1939 edition, scan p.26). The title page names the author 'al-Shaykh al-Ajall Abu Abd Allah Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi'. The English translation is not in this scan. Scan p.1 is an errata leaf.
