Londres 1 UPDATED

25 Sep 2006

It looks like we have a copy of the first edition of Londres (Londres 1 (1866)) for sale on eBay. The seller claims 1868 as the year of publication, but this may be a typo. With 374 pages, it ought to be the first edition - but there is no picture of the title page, so I can't promise.

UPDATE
Dr L L Boyle writes in to clarify the situation:

"[T]his is the second variant which has an August 1867 end-paper. The first variant has "Le Duché de Galles" on the title page and "Le comté" on the end-paper. In this variant we have "Le Pays de Galles". The paper used for the title-page differs from that found in the rest of the book suggesting that the title pages were corrected by reprinting. Binding wouldn't have been done until they were required anyway."

Many thanks!
