The arrangement of preliminary leaves in this volume is so unusual as to give the impression on a first examination that c1 is missing. But as the copy in the Advocates' Library, Edinburgh, is similar to this, except for the transposition of the half-title of "The Regicide," which there precedes the Preface instead of the play itself, as in the present copy, the supposition is that no leaves are lacking.[86]
As the present copy is in the original boards, the arrangement of signatures is easily discernible. For the preliminary leaves it is as follows: Half-title and title, one unnumbered sheet; a, eight leaves; b, eight leaves; c, six leaves, the first four lettered c2, c3, c4, and 2 (according to the actual folding of the sheet, there is no c1, the first page being misprinted c2); two leaves, with no signatures, pasted together, viz.: the end of the Preface (verso "Persons of the Drama") and the half-title of "The Regicide" (verso blank); B, six leaves, the first three lettered B2, B3, and B4; one leaf pasted to B and numbered 4. Signatures C-S are in eights.
The pagination of the preliminary leaves is as follows: Half-title and title unnumbered, i-xxix (viii misprinted iii), four unnumbered pages, and xxxvi-xlvii, the verso of which is unnumbered. The omitted numbers between xxix and xxxvi indicate a missing leaf, but even though the half-title of "The Regicide" were to fill the place, as in the copy in the Advocates' Library, making the Preface to the whole book follow the half-title of one of the works, which is an unnatural arrangement, there would still be a missing leaf, as the first page of text of "The Regicide" is numbered 3.
The simplest explanation of the discrepancy is to suppose a printer's error in the pagination of the preliminary matter; i.e., xxxvi should be xxxiv.
There is no copy of this edition in the British Museum or the Bodleian Library, nor in the University or Trinity College Libraries, Cambridge, and the copy in the Advocates' Library, Edinburgh, bound in full calf, lacks the preliminary half-title.
With this record of signatures, the following collation gives the lettering of the leaves as actually printed.
Collation: Half-title, one leaf (verso blank). Title with portrait, one leaf (verso blank). Life, a1-a8 and b1-b7 (verso blank). Contents, b8. Preface, c2-c8 (verso "Persons of the Drama"). Half-title of "The Regicide," one leaf, which might be counted as c8, to complete the signature c, or as B1, to precede B2. "The Regicide," B2-I5, in eights. Half-title of "The Reprisal," I6 (verso "Persons repreſented"). Prologue, I7. Text, I8-O5 (verso blank), ending with the Epilogue. Half-title, "Advice, and Reproof: two Satires. First published in the Year 1746 and 1747," O6 (verso blank). "Advice," O7-P6. Half-title of "Reproof," P7 (verso blank). Text, P8-Q6. "The Tears of Scotland," 1746, Q7-Q8. Poems,[87] R1-R4 recto.

Although "Vanessa" [Hester Vanhomrigh] died in 1723, the present poem did not appear until 1726, when it was published by three different booksellers. The first edition was probably printed in Dublin, the second by W. Blandford, practically a reprint of the first; the third by J. Roberts, which contains some variations from the others, notably the addition on page 35 of the ten lines beginning "But what Succeſs Vaneſſa met."

M dcc xxvi. 8vo, four parts in two volumes, red straight-grain morocco, gilt back and sides, gilt top, uncut edges, by Rivière.
An uncut copy of one of four editions published in 1726. Presumably the first edition, with the misprints "subsidues," instead of "subsidies," Part I, page 35, line 5, and "ebe Houyhnhmns" in the running headline, Part IV, page 165.
Portrait of Gulliver by Sturt and Sheppard, with inscription around the oval and two lines of Latin beneath; also six maps.

M DCC XXVI. 8vo, four parts in two volumes, green levant morocco, gilt back, side borders in floral and bird design,[128] doubled with red morocco, floral border, red figured silk guards, gilt edges, by The Club Bindery.
Presumably the second edition. One of the three large paper copies on record, a second being in the British Museum. This one measures 9 by 5-3/8 inches, and besides the six maps, has a portrait of Gulliver without the inscription around the oval. Instead of two lines in Latin beneath, the legend is "Captain Lemuel Gulliver, of Redriff Ætat. ſuæ 58."
The two title-pages of Volume I appear to be the same as in the preceding edition, but in Volume II "Glubbdubdrib" has one final "b" instead of two, and "Vol. II." is omitted. The type of "World" is heavier faced in this edition. The text is reset; ornaments, use of type, and spelling are different. In the Contents of Volume II, "Pirates" in Chapter I is here spelled "Pyrates." Page 74 of Part III is misprinted 44 in this edition, and not in the preceding; but the misprint in the running headline on page 165, Part IV, is here corrected to "the Houyhnhmns." "Glubbdubdrib" is spelled without the final "b" in the text of both editions, except at the head of Chapter I, in the preceding, which would point to the final "bb" on the title of Volume II as a misprint corrected in the present edition.
In both editions Chapter VII of Part III is misprinted Chapter V. Part III of the present edition contains 155 pages, whereas the previous edition contains 154 and ends with a different signature.

Presumably the fourth edition. The pagination of the two parts in each volume is continuous, and Plates II and VI, preceding Parts II and IV, respectively, are both numbered Page I, as though made for the previous editions, in which those parts have a separate pagination.
The title of Volume II follows line for line that of the edition No. I preceding, with "Glubbdubdribb" spelled with two final "b's," but the entire work is reset. As in the other two editions, Chapter VII of Part III is misprinted V.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life. Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need, are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. Section 3.

Newby Chief Executive and Director [email protected] Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS. The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit http://pglaf.org While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate. International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works. Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: http://www.gutenberg.org This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
