Notes
There are undoubtedly further exemplars in the United States—NUC records maybe three: those at Yale (27 1/2 cm.) and the New York Public Library (4o) presumably represent this edition, though that at the Newberry (no format or measurement) could equally be from the 12o edition of the same year.
On my first visit the relevant section of the card catalogue was away being microfilmed and thus BX5145 escaped my notice; and I had failed to realise that it was already recorded on the Eighteenth Century Short Title Catalogue database. I should like to acknowledge the assistance of Mr. Charles Parry of the National Library of Wales during my visits to that library.
Philip Gaskell, John Baskerville; a bibliography (Cambridge: at the University Press, 1959), no. 48. It might be noted, too, that Sir Walter Scott's Life of Napoleon Buonaparte (1827) may contain 130 cancellantia, but this in nine volumes, comprising 2028 leaves—a rate of 6.5%; see William Ruff, 'Cancels in Sir Walter Scott's 'Life of Napoleon'", Edinburgh Bibliographical Society Transactions 3 (1948-55), 137-151, and B. J. McMullin, 'Notes on Cancellation in Scott's Life of Napoleon', Studies in Bibliography 45 (1992), 222-231.
