Opis: A Quaker of the Olden Time - Roberts Daniel

Excerpt from A Quaker of the Olden Time: Being a Memoir of John Roberts, by His Son, Daniel Roberts

The first edition of the Memoir John Roberts was published by Andrew Brice, a noted Exeter printer, in the year 1746, now more than 150 years ago. From what source the copy from which it was taken was obtained, how it came to be printed at all, and why Exeter was the spot favoured by its first appearance, is not known. All the information on the subject we possess is that the family, as represented by the hereditary possessors of the original manuscript at the time, were not parties to the transaction. The first edition is very scarce. There is, however, a perfect and an imperfect copy in the.British Museum, though the collection of John Roberts editions it possesses is but a small one.

The second edition, published about a year afterwards (in 1747) by Samuel Farley (the printer, later on, of Felix Farley's Journal) in the Old Maiket, Bristol, is less rare. It is merely a transcript of the first edition, as far as the matter is concerned, as also have been most of the later ones. The variations, though only slight, have sometimes been erroneous.
