In the "Memorial" edition of 1893, the author's copies were collated and Ms. notes as well as important emendations and additions were incorporated. This edition was reprinted in Bohn's standard library in 1898, and is now issued in Bohn's popular library. These two volumes printed 1913 by G. Bell and Sons, Ltd.
