BIBLIOGRAPHY OF TICKELL’S WRITINGS
BIBLIOGRAPHY OF TICKELL’S WRITINGS
The entries in this bibliography, with a few necessary exceptions, are
arranged as follows:
_a._ a transcript of the text of the title-page of the first
edition;
_b._ a collation of the first edition by pages;
_c._ locations of copies of the first edition that I have used
and have had reproduced or consulted for me;
_d._ a list of later editions, variant issues, and reprints.
Under _c_ a complete census has not been attempted, and not every copy
located may be assumed to be perfect. Under _d_ sufficient information
is given to identify the various editions, but differences in title,
text, and collation are not recorded unless they are essential for
identification. To give complete descriptions of all the issues of
Tickell’s writings would require from two to three times the space of the
present bibliography.
The symbols for locations should be expanded thus: BA = Boston Athenæum,
BM = British Museum, BP = Boston Public Library, C = Library of Congress,
HC = Harvard College Library, HEH = Henry E. Huntington Library, JCB =
John Carter Brown Library, LHB = the present editor, NEWB = Newberry
Library, NYP = New York Public Library, WLC = William L. Clements
Library, YU = Yale University Library.
As stated earlier, the place of publication, unless otherwise indicated,
is London.
