| Item Description: | "Subscriber's [sic] names."--p. [v]-xii. - At least four issues with variant title pages exist, of which this is evidently the second. - English Short Title Catalog, W14463. - Evans notes three variants issued under this title page. The first (Evans 24658), published in 1792, contains the titles listed, in the order listed. The second has added at end "Rights of man. Part the second" together with "Letter, to Mr. Secretary Dundas" (those two titles were issued separately as Evans 25960) and was probably issued in 1793. A third variant (Evans 27466) has contents identical with the second, but arranged chronologically. Evans speculates that this variant was not issued until 1794. See also Bristol B8098 and B8784, with title pages reflecting that arrangement of titles. - Evans, 24658. - Evans, 27466. - Pagination (3rd variant): xii, 60, [2], 186, 41, [4], vi-vii, [2], 10-70, [2], 24, 124, v, [1], 7-90, 10 p. - Reproduction of original from Bodleian Library (Oxford). - Signatures (3rd variant): pip6s; [A]p4s B-Hp4s (H3 blank); a-up4s vp4s wp4s xp4s (a1-x1 signed a2-x2); [A]p4s B-Op4s (O4 blank) [P]p4s Q-Rp4s; [A]p4s Bp4s p2sBp4s C-Op4s Pp2s; [A]p4s B-Lp4s Mp2s Np4s. - Though the titles included are (in part) paged and signed separately, Evans records "Common sense" only as having been issued separately |
