Three quarto volumes 10 1/4 x 8 inches; 260 x 204 mm. With 155 of 160 engraved copperplates some of which are folding and some have been hand-colored. Some plates are bound out of sequence. Vol I with 58 plates Vol II with 55 of 56 plates and Vol III with 42 of 46 plates. Volume II is missing plate #63 and Volume III is missing plates 111 112 113 and 115. Plates 111-113 are the plates on Midwifery which are often lacking as people would extract them because they portray graphic scenes of childbirth. Each volume with half-title. This edition is edited by William Smellie. and the engravings are by Andrew Bell. We could find only one complete copy at auction since 1966.<br> <br> Bound in contemporary full mottled calf. Spines with some restoration. Morocco spine labels Spines elaborately stamped in gilt and with a red and brown spine morocco label on each volume. Board edges tooled in gilt. Gilt dentelles.

Vol. II with a repair to the crease of page one of the folding chemistry table. Generally pages are very clean. Overall a very lovely set.<br> <br> "The most famous of all encyclopaedias in the English language was sponsored by 'a Society of Gentlemen in Scotland'.The Edinburgh 'society' could well have consisted only of the editor the antiquarian William Smellie 1740-95 the engraver Andrew Bell 1726-1809 and the printer Colin Macfarquhar died 1793.The subtitle implicitly acknowledges the editor's indebtedness to Harris and Chambers though later on in the third edition of 1801 the dedication to the King sought to create the impression that the Britannica had been conceived as a means 'to counteract the tendency of anarchy and atheism of that pestiferous work' the French Encyclopédie of Diderot. In fact Smellie defined its purpose far more sensibly and convincingly in the preface of the first edition: 'Utility ought to be the principal intention of every publication'. The Encyclopaedia Britannica appeared first in numbers.1768-71. The precedent of Moréri and Bayle was followed when the second edition 1778-83 included history and biography.From the supplement to the fifth edition 1816-24 onward the Encyclopaedia Britannica following the example of the Encyclopédie appended the signatures of the contributors of articles of original value.and leading scholars and men of letters of all nations have continued to lend the lustre of their names to all subsequent editions" Printing and the Mind of Man.<br> <br> Printing and the Mind of Man 218.
