Summary

[Bibliographical Note.–This “Guide” has been published in two forms–eds. 1 and 2 being issued in parts, ed. 3 in a single pamphlet.

First Edition (1877).–In two parts with continuous pagination. The title-page of Part I. was as shown here on the preceding leaf; that of Part II. was the same, except only for the addition of “Part II.”

Octavo, Part I., pp. 1–24; Part II., pp. i.–ii., 25–57. Part I. consisted of the title-page (with imprint “Hazell, Watson, and Viney, Printers, London and Aylesbury” at foot of the reverse), pp. 1–2; Guide, pp. 3–24. Part II. consisted of the title-page (with the same imprint on the reverse), pp. i.–ii.; Guide, pp. 25–50; Appendix, pp. 51–57. There were no headlines, the pages being numbered centrally.

Issued in March 1877, in mottled-grey paper wrappers, each part having its title-page (enclosed in a plain ruled frame) reproduced upon the front. The price of each part was One Shilling.

Some later copies of this edition were issued with two slight alterations in the text (see “Variæ Lectiones”); these copies were issued, some with, and some without, wrappers.

Second Edition (1882, 1883).–Again in two parts. The title-page of Part I. varies from that of the First Edition as follows:–“Third Thousand | George Allen, | Sunnyside, Orpington, Kent. | 1882.” The imprint is repeated at the foot of the last page.
