Assuming, as Sabiu says, that the 3-to1. edi- 

 tion of 1703 is the oiiginal, vol. 1 of each of the 

 two 2-Tol. editions agrees with it page for page 

 and nearly .ine for line in tlie matter following 

 the preface, i. e., from the beginning of the text, 

 p. 1. In vol. 2 the editions run alike page for 

 page throughout tlie text ; the tables at the end 

 agree in the two 2- vol. editions, both of which 

 difler from the second volume of the 3-vol. edi- 

 tion. The type of the two 2- vol. editions is very 

 nearly the same, but differs materially from 

 that used in the same (second) volume of the 

 3-vol. edition. The head and tail pieces and the 

 initial letters differ materially in all three edi- 

 tions, as do also the engraved plates and maps ; 

 and there are minor discrepancies throughout 

 the text of all the editions. 



It will bo noticed that the position of the fig- 

 ure in the prelitninarj- jilate in vol. 1 of each of 

 the two 2- vol. editions is reversed from that in 

 vol. ] of the 3-vol. edition belonging to tlie Car- 

 ter Brown library, and that it does not appear 

 at all in the second volume of either of the 2-vol. 

 editions or in the third volume of the 3-vol. edi- 

 tion. Altogether, the make-up of the 2-vol. 

 editions is inferior, especially in the engraved 

 plates, to that of the 3-vol. edition. 



I am indebted to the owners of these editions 

 for kindly sending them to me for inspection, 

 so that I have been fortunate in having them 

 all under the oye at the same time. 1 took ad- 

 vantage of the opportunity to make a photo- 

 graphic copy of each of the title-pages, as well 

 as of those of some other editions, and have 

 thus been enabled to read the proof of these 

 titles from facsimiles. It has not been thought 

 necessary to call special attentioa, by tlie use 

 of brackets, to all the minor errors and differ- 

 ences in spelling and punctuation.
