G. 130: London and Dublin; 1st Ed., 1777; 17th Ed., 1825. [Fist] Devis's Grammar, spoken of in D.Blair's Preface, as being too "comprehensive and minute," is doubtless an other and much larger work. 148: London; 1st Ed., 1740: 26th Ed., 1764; 40th Ed., (used by G.B.,) undated. 240; 1st Ed., London, 1841. |
