Edward Barnard. New, Comprehensive, Impartial and Complete History of England, (to 1783), folio 102 plates 3 maps including 1 folding. Edward Barnard. Assisted by Mr. Millar. London: Alexander Hogg, (c. 1783). Second edition, crown folio (15.25 in x 9.5 in), pp. iv, (5)-710, (4) subscribers list and adv, 102 folio copper engraved plates, 3 copper engraved maps including one folding, copper engraved head and tail pieces for the preface. The editions of the work are undated and probably best judged chronologically by how far the text extends. In this case the last plate concerns an event of Feb, 1783 and the last date in the text is July, 1783 The text is complete, ends with "Finis" at the bottom of p. 710 and is followed by the subscribers list and one page of advertising. An edition just after this one extended the pages to 712. World Cat lists several copies as "1791?". Later editions added pages of text and plates and extended coverage at least into the early 19th century, though with new editorial help. The first edition appears to be 1782 and the title page indicates "to the Middle of the Year MDCCLXXXII" (1782). After 1782 the title page reads "to the End of the Present Year". An outstanding history for the plates, which include fourteen plates from 1776 to 1783, a dozen of these pertaining to the American Revolution and its settlement. Full old green sheep with old professional re-back (old enough that its green has nearly completely faded). Sides with gilt roll tooled borders. Smooth back with six gilt roll tooled compartments, gilt lettered in the second. Original old binder's end sheets. Sheets and plates are remarkably clean and fresh but for a water stain to the rear endpapers diminishing to the adv and subscribers list and to the index showing just very faintly and not affecting the text or plates. Binding with strong joints but with surface scuffs and gouges and rubbing. Edges with wear, corners bumped and worn. H10306 All Items Are Sent Insured.
