NOTES ON BOOKS: "The People's Books". 'The Fortnightly Review'-'The Cornhill Magazine.' Notices to Correspondents. Notes. COBBETT BIBLIOGRAPHY. THIS bibliography of first editions of William Cobbett will be appended to the Compiler's Life and Letters of William Cobbett in England and America,' a work based upon the unpublished family papers, which will be issued in the autumn in London by Mr. John Lane, and in New York by the John Lane Company. The first edition of every work that Cobbett wrote, edited, part-edited, or "introduced," with which the Compiler is acquainted, is referred to, and all the available particulars given. When the Compiler has not been able to find a first edition, he has used a later edition, but in these cases he has stated that he has done so. There may be, however, a few pamphlets published by Cobbett during his first visit to America which have escaped notice, such pamphlets being very difficult to trace. 8vo, pp. 15.
