I'm not sure I have much wisdom to contribute to this project, but I own a few editions and am happy to contribute grunt-work. I have the following: Blunt Editions: 1844 (14th) 1854 (17th) Government Editions: 1879 1902 1918 (both the large-format Navy and small-format Appleton printings) 1938 1943 1962 1966 1977 (vol I) & 1975 (Vol II) I also have Campbell (which you mention in an earlier post, somewhat negatively -- details?) and Burstyn's _At the Sign of the Quadrant_, which I assume you have or have access to at Mystic. -- Peter
