Notes

The third edition of the collected works, following the 1800 Liverpool edition and the 1801 London second edition (plus an 1801 Philadelphia reprint). The textual changes between the editions were minor, and the frontispiece is in fact the same plate (with its own imprint dated 1800) reused across the three.
