COBBETT BIBLIOGRAPHY.
THIS bibliography of first editions of William Cobbett will be appended to the Compiler's
- Life and Letters of William Cobbett in
England and America,' a work based upon the unpublished family papers, which will be issued in the autumn in London by Mr. John Lane, and in New York by the John Lane Company.
The first edition of every work that Cobbett wrote, edited, part-edited, or " in- troduced," with which the Compiler is acquainted, is referred to, and all the avail- able particulars given. When the Compiler has not been able to find a first edition, he has used a later edition, but in these cases he has stated that he has done so. There may be, however, a few pamphlets published Toy Cobbett during his first visit to America which have escaped notice, such pamphlets feeing very difficult to trace.
The Compiler is very much obliged to the
Editor of ' X. & Q.' for kindly printing this
Bibliography in his columns, and he will be
grateful to any reader who will advise him
of errors or omissions.
