Abstract

en_US Here is a book in poor condition. It lacks covers, title-page, and all pages before 3 and after 314. What remains is in poor condition. It seems in all respects identical to two editions: the first -- a stated 13th edition -- was printed in 1786 for J.F. and C. Rivington, T. Longman, B. Law, et al, and for the second -- a stated 15th edition, carefully revised and improved -- I have guessed a date of 1795. It was printed for T. Longman, B.Law and Son, C. Dilly, J Johnson, et al. Notice the continuity in some of the sponsoring parties, specifically Longman and Law. I am amassing quite a collection of Croxall editions, a good testimony to how popular and enduring this relatively inexpensive illustrated edition was. My untrained eye seems to see the same plates being used for all these printings. There is heavy foxing here and there are a number of torn pages. But I am so happy to preserve a book like this! Will someone after me be able to fix its date and edition?
