_Note_ (1). --A facsimile of the Title-page (2) faces p. xii. of vol. i.
of the _Poetical Works_, 1898. It has been alleged that large-paper
copies of this edition were issued from the Newark press. It is certain
that large copies (a copy in the British Museum, cut for binding,
measures 220 X 122), printed on paper bearing a water-mark dated 1806,
were thrown upon the market at an early period, but it has not been
ascertained at what date or in what place they were printed. They are
undoubtedly deliberate forgeries. They purport, even in respect of
_errata_, to be identical with the genuine issue of 1807; but they were
not set up from the same type, and it is inconceivable that a second
issue, set up from different type and with slightly different ornaments,
was printed by Ridge for piratical purposes. To cite a few obvious
differences--in the title of the large-paper copies the first A of the
word "TRANSLATED" is printed ? [Greek: L ], and the Greek ? [Greek: n]
in ? ? ? ? ? [Greek: ainee] and ? ? ? ?
