Adapted and enlarged from the original work of Rudolph Erich Raspe, printed under title "Baron Munchausen's narrative of his marvellous travels and campaigns in Russia. Humbly dedicated and recommended to country gentlemen; and, if they please, to be repeated as their own, after a hunt at horse races, in watering-places, and other such polite assemblies; round the bottle and fire-side", first printed in Oxford, England, 1786.

Ebenezer Merriam and his brother George Merriam, both apprentices with Isaiah Thomas of Worcester, Massachusetts, arrived in the town of Brookfield, Massachusetts, west of Worcester, in 1798 with the intention of setting up a printing press and publishing a newspaper for the rural town, but when this did not work they printed monographs instead. Cf. The Merriams of Brookfield: Printing in the Economy and Culture of Rural Massachusetts in the early nineteenth century / Jack Larkin, Proceedings of the American Antiquarian Society, April 1986, v. 96, part 1.

This adapted and enlarged work was also printed under various titles in both Great Britain and the United States and issued in many editions until the middle of the 19th century.
