Title from engraved titlepage. The works of the individual poets, vols.1-11, have their own titlepages dated from 1792 to 1795, with the imprint: Edinburgh: Printed by Mundell and Son, but pagination and signatures within each volume are continuous. Vol.11 has an additional letter press titlepage, dated 1794, to the volume: 'The works of the British poets. With prefaces, biographical and critical, by Robert Anderson, M.D.' - An advertisement for this publication reads: "This day are published, by Mundell and Son, printers, ." (1795)
PROBABLY SAME AS T152376, but that has general letterpress titlepages ALL dated 1795 whereas vol. 11 of BL set has gen. tp. dated 1794 - query sent to ESTC/NA before deletion of t152376 in favour of this record. GOT queried 10.7.90 for xeroxes of their letter press tps. in T152376
