Erstausgabe
Two volumes in one (as issued), pp. [x], 208, 281-286, [2] blank; [ii], 194, [2], 199-236, 155-164; contemporary calf, spine and covers with gilt fillet (a little rubbed, slight wear along the top of the lower joint, lacks label). This edition was printed shortly after Griffith 378 (the 'booksellers' edition), but with a proper title-page for volume II; the pagination has to some extent been regularised. The only notable textual change is the expansion of a verse quotation in a footnote on p. 32 from six lines to twelve. However, essentially the type has been reset throughout, with one exception the section of letters omitted in issue (b) of the first edition which appear here in their original sheets. Griffith concludes, therefore, that this new edition could have consisted of 190 copies only, as that is the number of copies from which these sheets had been deliberately omitted. ESTC, however, records 16 copies of this edition, which suggests that perhaps Griffith's calculations should be revisited. A curious feature of this copy is the fact that the fly-title to the Robert Digby letters, wrongly placed in the preceding issue, has here been again misbound, but between pp. 146 and 147 of vol. II, rather than before p. 133 where it belongs (and where it is in the Bodleian copy, seen online on Google books). Griffith 381. Provenance. Early armorial bookplate of Francis North, 1st Earl of Guilford (1704-1790), of Wroxton Abbey, a wealthy politician and an intimate friend of George III.

Erstausgabe
Two volumes, 12mo, pp. [x], 194; 240; contemporary calf (just a trifle rubbed, lacks labels). First Dublin edition. This Irish edition was set from one of the London octavo printings, and thus does not include Pope's 'Narrative' at the back. There are two variants of the title page of the first volume; the other has 'at his shop in Essex-Street'. The slight difference in wording is of no significance; the reason the original title-page was cancelled, and replaced with a cancel as in this set, is that the first had the misprint 'Dubdin', which was no doubt an embarrassment. Griffith 399. ESTC lists twelve locations, but some of those are odd volumes only.
