London: Longman, Hurst [et al.], 1805. 16mo, pp. [6] plus unpaginated lexicon in double column; full contemporary speckled calf, red morocco label on gilt-paneled spine; lightly rubbed; very good. In his Preface Jones credits the assistance of a dozen helpers, among them William Boscawen, the translator of Horace; John Nicols, "the indefatigable illustrator of the History of Leicestershire ... to whom British biography in particular, certainly owes more than any other individual writer of the last century"; and, John Britton, author of The Architecture and Antiquities of Great Britain.
