The Encyclopaedia Britannica is the longest running encyclopaedia in the English language. It was first issued in 100 parts between 1768-71 and first published in book form in 1771 consisting of three volumes, edited single-handedly by William Smellie. Today it is written by 100 full-time editors and more than 4,000 contributors. Its authors have included over 110 Nobel Prize winners and five American presidents. The 2010 edition, which spans 32 volumes was the last printed edition. It continues today as a digital entity. The second edition, published in 1778, was issued in ten volumes and this third edition, the last of the eighteenth century editions, in 18 volumes. Founded by two Scottish printers Colin Macfarquhar and Andrew Bell, the Encyclopaedia Britannica was one of the most enduring legacies of the Scottish Enlightenment. Bell became sole owner after Macfarquhar's death in 1793 and remained so until his own death in 1809. He was also a skilled engraver producing almost all of the copperplate illustrations for the first four editions.

Not in Walsh, Anglo-American General Encyclopaedias; not in Circle of Knowledge; Goldsmiths'-Kress no. 13772; Alston III, 568 recording the third edition (1797?) only with the title The New Encyclopaedia: "The extraordinary variety of editions for each volume found in various copies makes this seem like a bookseller's hoax. The title page to the second volume in the Signet copy reads The New Royal Encyclopaedia . No acknowledgement is made to previous works . The usually found combination is as follows: vol. I - third edition; vol. II - second edition; vol. III - second edition. One of the editor's copies is clearly the first issue with all the title pages reading The New Royal Encyclopaedia and without and edition number.".

Woolf writes: ''Thank you very much for asking me to write the article on Thackeray in the Encyclopedia Britannica. I m afraid I cannot do it, as I am already too much engaged, and I know so little of Thackeray that I should have to give up more time than I can spare at present. But it was very good of you to ask me, and I am sorry that I cannot manage it. With many thanks, yours sincerely, Virginia Woolf''. Wonderfully signed in her characteristic deep lavender ink. Her letters are uncommon, and this is an attractive letter, with a fine association of literary names.

Octavo. Original Hardcover / 19th-century half-leather with gilt lettering to spine. Excellent condition with some minor signs of wear only. Name of preowner on third pamphlet ("Michael North") / With a manuscript entry by one 'W.K.', regarding the "garbled" appearance of the Nixon's Prophecy in Fielding's novel, Tom Jones: 'This was probably the very book which Partridge read out of. This shows Fielding's attention to minutiae I think - such a jumbled Head as [barber-surgeon] Partridge wd be likely to mix up those part of the Tale Together'. The Cheshire Prophecy in Chapbook-Style with an advertising bound before the titlepage and "Price Six-Pence" on cover. John Collier (18 December 1708 14 July 1786) was an English caricaturist and satirical poet known by the pseudonym of Tim Bobbin, or Timothy Bobbin. Collier styled himself as the Lancashire Hogarth. Born in Urmston, Lancashire, the son of an impoverished curate, he moved to Milnrow at the age of 17 to work as a schoolmaster. Marriage and nine children meant he needed to supplement his income and he began producing illustrated satirical poetry in Lancashire dialect and a book of dialect terms. His first and most famous work, A View of the Lancashire Dialect, or, Tummus and Mary, appeared in 1746, and is the earliest significant piece of Lancashire dialect to be published. He regularly travelled to Rochdale to sell his work in the local pubs where most of the business of Rochdale was conducted as there was no cloth hall at that time. People in the pubs would ask him to draw portraits of them and their friends and he would charge on the basis of the number of heads in the picture. The Lancashire dialect poetry collection, Human Passions Delineated, a work which he both wrote and illustrated, appeared in 1773. In it he savagely lampooned the behaviour of upper and lower classes alike. The etchings were widely reproduced, and some were printed on ceramics of the time, and a colourised reproduction of 25 of the plates was published in 1810. He died in 1786 leaving the sum of £50 and was buried in the churchyard of Rochdale Parish Church, St. Chad's. He wrote his own epitaph 20 minutes before he died, "Jack of all trades.left to lie i'th dark" which is inscribed upon his gravestone. He had also written a number of other humorous epitaphs for graves, a number of which can still be seen in St. Chad's churchyard. In 1792 Sir Walter Scott visited the grave and suggested that a public subscription be raised to refurbish it. One thousand people donated a £1-0s 0d each, the tombstone was raised and a fence erected around the grave. A ceremony was arranged, which was attended by many eminent people including a number of Lancashire dialect poets who acknowledged their debt to the first of their number, Tim Bobbin.
