Crown 8vo, pp. viii.+256. The imprint-“Printed by Ballantyne, Hanson & Co., Edinburgh & London”-is at the foot of the last page. The text is a reprint of the second edition, and occupied pp. 1-230. The numbering of the paragraphs was introduced. An index was added (pp. 233-256), which is not here reprinted, as the entries are included in the General Index to the edition. The index contains a few editorial notes; the substance of these is incorporated in this volume. The original Plates were again used, the frontispiece being retouched by Mr. G. Allen; the folding flaps were discarded “as they usually tore the Plate or were lost in binding” (note by the editor, Mr. W. G. Collingwood), and the Plates of woodcuts, instead of being at the end of the book, were inserted opposite to the references to them in the text. Issued on June 15, 1891, in the usual cloth boards, price 7s. 6d. 3000 copies were printed, and 300 on large hand-made paper at 15s.

Re-issued in 1899 and 1902.

An unauthorised American Edition of the book was immediately issued by Messrs. Wiley & Son, New York (being reviewed in Putman’s Monthly, August 1854). There have been many other American issues, from 50 cents upwards.

Variæ Lectiones.-The following are the variations shown by a collation of the editions; the list does not, however, mention variations in references to the illustrations caused by the different arrangement of these in 1891, and again in the present edition. It should be noted, further, that in numbering the paragraphs in 1891 the editor broke up several of the longer paragraphs as printed in eds. 1 and 2; the arrangement of 1891 is followed in this edition. Also, the titles and dates of the lectures were added at the head of the chapters in 1891.

Preface, in the quotation of Lord Lindsay, line 11, the ed. of 1891, misreads “time” for “kind”; § 5, line 9, eds. 1 and 2 have the old spelling “goff” for “golf”; § 14, line 27 and again further on, eds. 1 and 2 read “Dumblane” (and so also in the List of Illustrations); § 21, line 8 (see p. 41); sixteen lines from the end, ed. 1 reads “occasions” for “occasion”; § 22, line 42, “towns” in the MS. hitherto misprinted “towers”; § 37, line 50, “rose” in the MS. printed “roses” in all previous eds.; § 52, for “Bourgthéroulde” all previous eds. read “Bourgtheroude” (and so also in the List of Illustrations); § 66, line 19 (see p. 90); § 85, line 2, eds. 1 and 2 read “in the Addenda to this lecture”; the reference, however, is to the Addenda to Lectures i. and ii.; § 90, line 36, eds. 1 and 2 read “de” for “du”; and ed. 1 “Geant” for “Geant”; § 105 n. (see p. 132); § 128, line 5, all previous eds. read “Jullien” for “Julien”; and in § 130 n. “Steele” for “Steell”; § 134 (see p. 159).]
