The second impression , made in January 1752 (the first in December 1751), only recently made identifiable by the correction of a misprint at the fourth line of p. 191 of Volume III ("the at Folly" changed to "at the Folly"). This set does have the terminal blank in Volume I and the ad leaf in Volume II. Rothschild 853; Cross, III, p.321.
