For this edition, there is a new preface as well as a two-page assessment of his writings at the end, but perhaps the most interesting part of the book is the booksellers' label almost filling the front paste-down end-paper, advertising a large collection of books at the "Reader's General Repository of Literature, Cranbrook..."
