Thread Name: Possible new variation on 224.1 uncovered From: kamins at modernlib.com (Scot Kamins) Date: Wed, 25 Jun 2014 13:22:56 -0700 Folks, Bill Hornick reports a variation on 18th Century Plays (224.1). He has several copies of this title. His latest addition in a binding 11 shows a List of Authoritative Editions on page xxi to xxii plus Selected Bibliography on page xxii to xxiv. I have this printing in the same binding. I need verification that earlier printings lack the List of Authoritative Editions and contain a short list of only 16 titles in the bibliography near the end of the introduction. Dates would be very helpful. Thanks, Scot Kamins ------------------------------------- From: neavill at wayne.edu (Gordon Barrick Neavill) Date: Wed, 25 Jun 2014 22:49:52 -0400 (EDT) Scot, The spring 1952 first printing lacks the list of authoritative editions and selective bibliography lists 16 titles. Another variant is that by fall 1958 the jacket was being printed on coated white paper. The earliest printing I've seen with the list of authoritative editions and the expanded selected bibliography is fall 1966. The reset title page drops the hyphen from Eighteenth-Century, and the book is printed by offset lithography instead of letterpress.

Hornick reports a Spring 1965 without the list and a Fall 1966 with the list (which I also have). Looks like we have a new Toledano number: 224.3. 224.2 is taken by the misnumbered Santayana, which is actually older than the 1st printing of the 18th Century Plays: > Toledano # Author Title Years in Catalog > 224.1 Misc Eighteenth Century Plays 1952 - 1970 > 224.2 Santayana Philosophy of Santayana 1942 - 1952 > > The error goes all the way back to the first edition of The Toledano Guide (1917 - 1985). Of course, for legacy reasons we won't mess with the numbering. I'll get the files updated by the end of the week. Credit goes to Bill Hornick for giving us a new collectable. ------------------------------------- From: brennanboatbuilding at gmail.com (Christopher Brennan) Date: Thu, 26 Jun 2014 07:48:17 -0400 Hi Scot, I have a Fall '63 copy (binding 10, DJ i). No List of Authoritative Editions. Only short list of 16 titles on page xxi.

Thanks to several reports, we've got this one in the bag. -------------------------------------
