Rare pirated edition. Cythère first published the third French translation of Satyra Sotadica (better known as L'Académie des Dames) in 2 vols in 1782. This edition also attributed to Cythère is in three volumes, but with the same number of plates. Although Cohen (p.240) and Reade (4266) both list a 3 vol 1782 edition, the position of the figures on the frontis in reverse, along with the misdated (M. DCCC. LXXXII) title pages, suggest that this is a pirated edition.

"My dear Randolph, I have reflected carefully on what you said.

Your loving father, Winston S. Churchill"

The first volume of Winston S. Churchill was published in 1966, the year after Sir Winston died. After Randolph's death in 1968 Martin Gilbert, who had joined Randolph as a research assistant in 1962, was appointed the official biographer.

First issued 1826, here the re-issue of 1827 with the plates still dated 1826. The wrapper announces “Price 8s. plain, 12s.

This would seem to contradict the 1827 title page...
