Commentaries on the Laws of England
William Blackstone · Clarendon Press, Oxford · 1765
No book-club issue exists for an eighteenth-century quarto. Reprint tells are edition statement, format and imprint: the first is quarto from the Clarendon Press with no edition statement, while the numerous later Oxford editions state their edition on the title. The heaviest reprint traffic is in the American octavos - Bell's Philadelphia 1771-72 and the nineteenth-century American editions with Christian's, Chitty's, Sharswood's or Cooley's notes, all of which are annotated editions rather than states of the first. The University of Chicago Press facsimile of the first edition is a modern reprint and states so.
