Reflections on the Revolution in France

The Dodsley London edition of November 1790 is the true first in every sense — English is the original language and there is no competing prior edition. A Dublin edition of 1790 (Todd 53aa) followed and is a separate, later printing rather than a co-first. The work went through eleven editions within about a year, thirteen thousand copies selling in the first five weeks, so 1790-dated later impressions and editions are common and are the principal "first thus" trap: a plain 1790 title alone proves nothing without the imprint-alignment and press-figure checks.
