The Philosophy of Rhetoric

Editions of The Philosophy of Rhetoric

Editions of The Philosophy ofRhetoric PRODUCTION OF THE PRESENT EDITION by the photo-offset process has necessitated an examination of nearly all known editions of The Philosaphy of Rhetoric to determine which one should be the prototype for a new edition. After many inquiries to libraries and private owners, the editor was able to compile a bibliography of editions which, if not definitive, is the most exhaustive bibliography to date. With the exception ofcondensations and abridgments, all editions (but not all reprints) were obtained and sampled for quality of typography, and most were sampled for accuracy of content . The examination of texts which was required to estimate accuracy and the collation of texts on selected items form the basis for the judgments, regarding probable derivation of editions, which accompany entries in the following bibliography. A double asterisk before an entry indicates that the edition was examined in some detail by the editor; a single asterisk indicates that libraries or private owners provided information permitting collation on selected items. ** A 1776 **B 1801 **C 1808 **D 1816 **E 1818 **F 1818 London. 2 vols.

Partial collation suggests that one set of plates produced all four Wait editions-H, I, J, K. The owner's signature and the year 1819. It is possible that one or more of the Wait editions appeared sometime before 1818, because collative evidence suggests that E and F (both 1818) may be derived from H, I, J, or K. ** L 1823 Boston.
