4to. Facsimile edition of the first edition of 1768 - 1771. Volume 1: VIII, 697,(1 errata) p. Volume 2: (IV),1009,(2 errata) p.; folding chemical and grammatical table. Volume 3; (IV),953,(1 corrigenda). 160 plates, numerous illustrations. Calf. 26.5 cm.(Backs gilt and with 5 raised bands, red shield in the second compartment. Paper slightly yellowing and showing some minor foxing. Nice and clean copy. § The first edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica was originally issued in parts from 1768 to 1771, and after completion published in a 3 volume set with the imprint: 'Edinburgh, Printed for A. Bell and C. Macfarquhar, in 1771') (See Wikipedia's long article 'Encyclopaedia Britannica', from which we quote a small part about its beginnings: 'In the first era (1st-6th editions, 1768-1826), the Britannica was managed and published by its founders, Colin Macfarquhar and Andrew Bell, by Archibald Constable, and by others. The Britannica was first published between December 1768 and 1771 in Edinburgh as the Encyclopaedia Britannica, or, A Dictionary of Arts and Sciences, compiled upon a New Plan. In part, it was conceived in reaction to the French Encyclopédie of Denis Diderot and Jean le Rond d'Alembert (published 1751-1772), which had been inspired by Chambers's Cyclopaedia (first edition 1728). It went on sale 10 December. The Britannica of this period was primarily a Scottish enterprise, and it is one of the most enduring legacies of the Scottish Enlightenment. In this era, the Britannica moved from being a three-volume set (1st edition) compiled by one young editor-William Smellie-to a 20-volume set written by numerous authorities) (Heavy set, may require extra shipping costs).

3 vols, imitation leather, small 4to, 27 cm, viii, 697, [1] pp., LVIII leaves of plates + [4], 1009, [3] pp, LIX-CIV leaves of plates + [4], 953, [1] pp., CV-CLX leaves of plates. Contents: Vol. 1. A-B. - Vol. 2. C-L. - Vol. 3. M-Z. An attractive facsimile edition published to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the first publication. The encyclopaedia was conceived on a new plan aimed at satisfying the needs of two sorts of readers: those wishing to study a subject in depth could turn to the over 40 longer "treatises" ( for example that on Anatomy, which runs to 165 pages), while those in need of quick reference material could find a short alphabetically arranged entry of typically a few lines but sometimes little more than a definition. Name and number on front pastedown endpaper of Volume I, scattered mild foxing, otherwise Very Good. Codice articolo ABE-28400

ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA (illustratore). First London edition. This is an issue which uses the sheets of the first edition published in Edinburgh in 1771, with new preliminaries and a new preface made for the London audience. Three quarto volumes (10 1/4 x 8 inches; 260 x 204 mm). With 155 of 160 engraved copperplates, some of which are folding and some have been hand-colored. Some plates are bound out of sequence. (Vol I with 58 plates, Vol II with 55 of 56 plates and Vol III with 42 of 46 plates). Volume II is missing plate #63 and Volume III is missing plates 111, 112, 113 and 115. Plates 111-113 are the plates on Midwifery which are often lacking as people would extract them because they portray graphic scenes of childbirth. Each volume with half-title. This edition is edited by William Smellie. and the engravings are by Andrew Bell. We could find only one complete copy at auction since 1966. Bound in contemporary full mottled calf. Spines with some restoration. Morocco spine labels, Spines elaborately stamped in gilt and with a red and brown spine morocco label on each volume. Board edges tooled in gilt. Gilt dentelles. Previous owner's bookplate on front pastedown of each volume. Old ink ownership signature on front free endpaper of all volumes. Vol. I with a small tear to upper margin, not affecting text. on page 469 and some occasional minor dampstaining to fore-edge margin, not touching text. Vol. II with a repair to the crease of page one of the folding chemistry table. Generally pages are very clean. Overall a very lovely set. "The most famous of all encyclopaedias in the English language was sponsored by 'a Society of Gentlemen in Scotland'.The Edinburgh 'society' could well have consisted only of the editor, the antiquarian William Smellie (1740-95), the engraver, Andrew Bell (1726-1809), and the printer, Colin Macfarquhar (died 1793).The subtitle implicitly acknowledges the editor's indebtedness to Harris and Chambers, though later on (in the third edition of 1801) the dedication to the King sought to create the impression that the Britannica had been conceived as a means 'to counteract the tendency [of anarchy and atheism] of that pestiferous work', the French Encyclopédie [of Diderot]. In fact, Smellie defined its purpose far more sensibly and convincingly in the preface of the first edition: 'Utility ought to be the principal intention of every publication'. The Encyclopaedia Britannica appeared first in numbers.1768-71. The precedent of Moréri and Bayle was followed when the second edition, 1778-83, included history and biography.From the supplement to the fifth edition, 1816-24, onward the Encyclopaedia Britannica, following the example of the Encyclopédie, appended the signatures of the contributors of articles of original value.and leading scholars and men of letters of all nations have continued to lend the lustre of their names to all subsequent editions" (Printing and the Mind of Man).
