Sobre este artículo
Edinburgh: printed by Neill and Company, for C. Elliot;--and J. Duncan, sen. J. & M. Robertson, J. and W. Shaw, and Dunlop and Wilson, Glasgow, 1789. Second Edinburgh edition; 8vo, pp. xiv, [910]; lexicon in double column; mild waterstain with some limpness to the paper in the lower fore-margin of the first leaf of the lexicon proper, a few other minor spots and stains, but generally a good, sound copy in contemporary full calf, red morocco label (slightly chipped) on spine. This copy with an unusual bookplate, printed with the owner's name and date (William Pasmore [ornament] 1799.") irregularly cut in an oval shape, and mounted on the front pastedown; bookplate torn but without loss. Also, with a manuscript inscription on the rear pastedown: "Edinburgh June 17th, 1794 Ann Pasmore died March ye 18th and was buried Good Friday the 25th 1796." Also on the rear pastedown: "William Pasmore his book, Stockley, May 27th, 1800." Four of the last five editions of Bailey were published in Scotland. ESTC notes 2 variants of this edition, one with a rule of Xs on the verso of the last leaf, another with a zigzag rule, as in this copy. Not in Alson who mentions a "J. Hunter" in the imprint (Alston V, 123). Nor does Alston make mention of the variants). ESTC locates only 4 copies worldwide: British Library, Miami University, Yale, and the Université Laval in Quebec.
