Annotations / title notes

• Notes

  • Hogarth t.p. has title: The analysis of beauty : written with a view of fixing the fluctuating ideas of taste.
  • Use of manufacturer's imprint "Mercier and Co. Printers, King's Head Court" seems to be specific to the period 1808-1809; books printed before and after those years by Mercier and his associates have imprints with different forms of name and other London addresses? (Based on OCLC publisher searches, done Jan. 2010.).
  • Title from preliminary half-title, with manufacturer's imprint on verso. Each work also has its own title page, with Bagster imprint.
