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the unpublished family papers, which will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
by Cobbett during his first visit to America
which have escaped notice, such pamphlets
being very difficult to trace.

Priestley, and on the several Addresses delivered
to Him, on his Arrival at New-York. " Du
