Select Bibliography
I have tried to ensure that the places of publication and publishers of the latest editions of books are given below, but in order to preserve an idea of publishing chronology, I have also provided details of the original publications. When the publisher remains the same as for the original publication, that publisher's name is not repeated. Similarly, if the place of publication remains the same (though the publisher may differ), that location is not repeated. Where there are intervening publishers between the original and latest editions, they are not cited. Some work dealing with the eighteenth century has been cited where that seems to throw interesting light on developments in the succeeding century.
