  • Year: 1785
  • Publisher: Strawberry-Hill Press
  • Pages: ix+50
  • Binding: unknown
  • Type: Collection
  • Title Reference: Hieroglyphic Tales
  • Notes:
    Six copies privately printed by Thomas Kirgate of Strawberry Hill; beside the printer's proof that Walpole revised by hand, which may have been incomplete.

    Page count from Worldcat (OCLC, below) which also provides viatal notes. Reginald states that there is mixed pagination and lists the binding as "cloth?".

    British Library record BL 003842456 is nearly empty, evidently from a secondary source on the six-copy "edition". BL 003574882 reports the printer's proof ("one of seven copies privately printed") with manuscript notes by Walpole and "no regular sequence of pages". It gives no page count, nor list of contents, but vital notes refer twice to page 51, once in closing "pp. 49-51 are supplied in MS [manuscript]".
