Catel (1773 - 1830) published this in 1802, as a short monograph, Traité d'harmonie, and it was the standard handbook on harmony throughout France, as well as elsewhere on the continent, for many decades. The first English translation seems to have been the one in 1820, and this would also appear to be the first American edition.
