       NOTE ON THE TEXT

      Montagu’s Reflections on the Rise and Fall of the Ancient Republicks was first published in 1759; there was a second edition in 1760 “with additions and corrections,” a third in 1769, and a fourth in 1778. On the continent, there was an English edition published in Basle in 1793, and an interesting French translation published in Paris in 1793 (concerning which see appendix A below and the introduction, p. xxv above). An American edition was published in Philadelphia in 1806.

      The additions and corrections made for the second edition consisted of some slight changes of wording and the inclusion of additional footnotes, some of which responded to the reviews of the first edition (see appendix B below). In all, some eight extra pages of text were added in 1760.

      The copy text for this edition is the fourth edition of 1778, which seems to have been more carefully printed than either the second or the third and which incorporates the revisions made in 1760. Page numbers from the 1778 edition have been inserted throughout the text of this edition in square brackets. Montagu’s numbered reference marks have been changed to superscript letters and moved from the beginning of his references to the end of the sentences or clauses; his two symboled notes remain as they were. Michel’s numbered footnote has been changed to a symboled note. All numbered notes in this edition are editorial.
