The first edition is known to exist in three states. State 1 has the date 1823 on the t.p.; state 2 has date changed to 1824 and publisher's address on title page is hyphenated: Ave-Maria Lane; state 3 has title page dated 1824 and the address has no hyphen. Cruikshank's name is misspelled "Cruickshank" and page ix, lines 4-5 has misspelling "aukwardness" for "awkwardness" in all three states, but both were corrected for the 2nd edition, published later in 1824. See: Cohn, A.M. George Cruikshank.
