This is a large paper 4to proof copy of an 1803 printing of Stewart's "Life of Thomas Reid". Originally printed in 8vo in 1802 by A. Neill & Co., the text was reprinted as an 8vo using the same type-settings in v.1 of the 3-volume set of Thomas Reid's "Essays on the powers of the human mind" printed by Neill for Bell & Bradfute. This proof copy appears to be an intermediate stage between these 1802 and 1803 printings. As a 4to, the signatures in this copy bear no relation to the other printings, moreover it is on wove paper wheras the other printings are on laid paper.
Includes bibliographical references.
