Bibliographic details:
There are two, typographically different editions of this title dated 1770. Though there are two ESTC numbers T95127, referring to a 12mo ed, and T221069 to an 8vo ed, all but two copies listed in the ESTC have been matched to T95127. In some cases this is likely to be an error: e.g. the copy from the Bodleian on google books (Malone B. 304) is different to the copies from Princeton on google books and TCD on ECCO, yet copies from all three libraries are matched to the same record. Colophon on ?final page: 'Reprinted for Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, and Brown, London; and Robinson, Son, & Holdsworth, Leeds; by B. Dewhirst'. Half-title: ANCIENT SCOTTISH POEMS. | PUBLISHED FROM THE MS. OF | [i]GEORGE BANNATYNE,[/i] | MDLXVIII.
Comments:
Place: Edinburgh is listed on title page but colophon suggests London. Date: The trading dates of Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, and Brown are 1811-1824 (query: check this in Briggs' History of Longmans).
Other matter:
Prefatory matter: preface pp. [v]-ix; Contents pp. [xi]-xii. End matter: Notes on the preceding poems pp. 275-366; Glossary pp. [367]-378; Passages not understood pp. [379]-380; Words not understood p. [381]; Colophon [1p].
