By RICHARD M. LANGWORTH
The Collected Works raised problems of scholarship. Certain volumes were reset and reedited. Some volumes were taken from editions, which differed radically from the originals. In all, only eight volumes and half of a ninth, offprinted from first or early impressions, contained the original text and pagination. Seven volumes were offprinted from later editions. The other 18 1/2 volumes, though improved with uniform type and better maps, bear no resemblance to the originals. However magnificent in appearance, they are not bibliographically compelling.
