Reading edition
Worcester: From the Press of Isaiah Thomas, Jun. 1810.
This valuable work, written and published in advance of the time, met with no favor, and was quickly forgotten. It was reprinted with the following title:
Thomas. The History of Printing in America: ... By Isaiah Thomas, LL.D. ... Second Edition. With the Author's Corrections and Additions, and a Catalogue of American Publications previous to the Revolution of 1776.... 2 vols., 8vo, pp. lxxxvii, 423, Portrait; 666, Index, (50).
Albany, N. Y.: Joel Munsell, Printer. 1874.
In this edition some of the matter in the first it omitted. The list of ante-revolutionary publications is far from being complete, and it is much to be regretted that many of the titles are not given correctly; one specimen is conspicuous: on page 405, article Bass, an error in the Massachusetts Catalogue is pointed out, but the title is turned round. There is nothing in the title about Benjamin Colman, and the collation is pp. (2), iii, 40; the printer's name is not given. Errors like these swarm in the list, a circumstance to be regretted, as a little additional labor would have made that right which is now wrong. It is the more inexcusable, as a reference to Sabin's Dictionary would have furnished many titles entirely omitted or incorrectly described.

Those of the earlier and more rare editions are given with a fullness and distinctness which leaves nothing to desire. I could not insert all those particulars into a slight work like the present list; but confidently refer those persons who desire more detailed notice of any remarkable edition to this curious and valuable catalogue of Mr. Wilson."
