Can anyone point me to a resource that discusses what "corrected" vs "with amendments" on an 18c title page would have indicated to readers? #bookhistory #eighteenthcentury
For context, I am looking at editions of a political chapbook that doesn't change content at all between editions but does change title page information. These terms switch back and forth, so I am curious if it was an advertising tactic to buy the new edition.
@noorka i can't say what it would have meant historically, but I would certainly take "corrected" to mean things like spelling or punctuation mistakes rectified, while "with amendments" to mean intentional modifications to the overall text by the author like clarifications, additions, or removal of whole sentences/paragraphs/chapters.
