Nice and clean copy. � The first edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica was originally issued in parts from 1768 to 1771, and after completion published in a 3 volume set with the imprint: 'Edinburgh, Printed for A. Bell and C. Macfarquhar, in 1771') (See Wikipedia's long article 'Encyclopaedia Britannica', from which we quote a small part about its beginnings: 'In the first era (1st-6th editions, 1768-1826), the Britannica was managed and published by its founders, Colin Macfarquhar and Andrew Bell, by Archibald Constable, and by others. The Britannica was first published between December 1768 and 1771 in Edinburgh as the Encyclopaedia Britannica, or, A Dictionary of Arts and Sciences, compiled upon a New Plan. In part, it was conceived in reaction to the French Encyclop�die of Denis Diderot and Jean le Rond d'Alembert (published 1751-1772), which had been inspired by Chambers's Cyclopaedia (first edition 1728). It went on sale 10 December. The Britannica of this period was primarily a Scottish enterprise, and it is one of the most enduring legacies of the Scottish Enlightenment. In this era, the Britannica moved from being a three-volume set (1st edition) compiled by one young editor-William Smellie-to a 20-volume set written by numerous authorities) (Heavy set, may require extra shipping costs).
