In this issue, the engraved dedication of the 3d Georgic to Charles Manners as marchioness of Granby (p. [96] in v. 2) and that of the 4th Georgic to Robert Lowth as bishop of Oxford (p. [120] in v. 2) are not present; Manners succeeded to the dukedom of Rutland in 1779, and Lowth became bishop of London in 1777; it seems likely that this issue was subsequent to these events and that the dedications were removed as no longer appropriate to the changed titles of the two men. The plates are in second state (that to face p. 141 in v. 2 is in 3d state, with verse reference changed to 491), and the 1st prelim. leaf (v. 1) of the previous issues, stating that the Aeneid would appear later, has been removed.
