Assuming, as Sabin says, that the 8- vol. edi- 

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

 two 2- vol. editions agrees with It page for page 

 and nearly line for line in the 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 the text ; the tables at the end 

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

 differ 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 materiallj' from 

 that ased 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 be noticed that the position of the fig- 

 ure in the preliminary plate in vol 1 of each of 

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

 vol. 1 of the 3-vol. edition belonging to the 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 eye at the same time. I 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. Ithasnot been thought 

 necessary to call special attention, by the use 

 of brackets, to all the minor errors and differ- 

 ences in spelling and punctuation.
