Description

First published in two volumes in 1774. a second edition was soon planned. This was again edited by Gough and Cuming (John Hutchins died before the first edition was printed ). It was produced in four volumes, with additional material and many more illustrations. The expenses were met by Hutchins's son-in-law, John Bellasis. The first volume of the second edition was issued in 1796, and the second volume in 1803, but on 8 February 1808 a fire at the printing house of John Nichols destroyed all the unsold copies and all copies of the third volume except for one which remained in Gough's possession (now in Dorchester museum). Gough died in 1809, and the third and fourth volumes were finally published by J B Nichols in 1813 and 1815 respectively.
