Wm. Wilson, No. 6 Dame Street, the corner of Palace Street, Dublin. 1780 - 81. FIRST DUBLIN EDITION. Second and third issues. Three volumes. 8vo. (8.8 x 5.4 inches). Vol.1. Cancel title page (1780), contents leaf, advert leaf, (dated 15th march 1779), 3-536pp. --- Vol 2.. Cancel title page (1781), contents leaf, 1-496,(p496 incorrectly numbered 196). --- Vol 3. Cancel title page (1781). contents leaf, 1-399pp. All three title pages have the Bartolozzi engraving but the engraving to vol.1 does not have the engravers name. Only one bookseller listed as the publisher, which is unusual for this set. Page edges tinted light green. Original silk page markers still present. The text blocks are in quite remarkably bright white condition, with no foxing or marking. Previous owners neat signature to the margin of the title page in each volume, dated 1783. Pp143/144 in vol.1 numbered twice but the text is complete and okay using catchwords. Previous owner colour printed bookplate on the front paste down endpaper of volume one. ---- Contemporary full tan calf bindings. Spines with gilt ruled lines and red and green labels, with gilt lettering and decoration. The bindings with some minimal age wear but are still very sound and attractive. This is a superior set of the Dublin edition, pre-dating the 4 vol London first edition. ----------- Fleeman 79.LP/2b (First instalment, first Dublin edition, second issue) and Fleeman 79.4LP/2c ( First instalment, first Dublin edition, third issue.

Description:
New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons / The Knickerbocker Press, 1927. Half-Leather. Very Good/No Jacket. Corners a bit rubbed, boards faintly soiled, ink date and owner bookplate of Robert N. Cherry on front flyleaf. 1927 Half-Leather. iv, 325 pp. 8vo. No binder's ticket, but appears to be a contemporary custom rebinding: blue leather spine and corners over blue cloth, gilt titles and rules, top edge gilt, new end sheets. "The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin is the traditional name for the unfinished record of his own life written by Benjamin Franklin from 1771 to 1790; however, Franklin himself appears to have called the work his Memoirs. Although it had a tortuous publication history after Franklin's death, this work has become one of the most famous and influential examples of an autobiography ever written. Franklin's account of his life is divided into four parts, reflecting the different periods at which he wrote them.
