It is evident that no fewer than five different printing houses were
employed simultaneously in the production of this work.

The preliminary matter of all six volumes was printed together, and the
reverse of each title-page carries at foot the following imprint:
"_London_: / _Shackell and Arrowsmith_, _Johnson's-Court_,
_Fleet-Street_."

The same firm also worked the whole of the Second Volume, and their
imprint is repeated at the foot of p. 574 [misnumbered 140].

Vol. I bears, at the foot of p. 550, the following imprint: "_Printed by
W. Lewis_, 21, _Finch-Lane_, _Cornhill_."

Vol. III bears, at the foot of p. 572, the following imprint: "_J. and C.
Adlard_, _Printers_, / _Bartholomew Close_."

Vols. IV and VI bear, at the foot of pages 600 and 576 respectively, the
following imprint: "_D. Sidney & Co._, _Printers_ /
_Northumberland-street_, _Strand_."

Vol. V bears, at the foot of p. 684, the following imprint: "_Whiting and
Branston_, / _Beaufort House_, _Strand_."

Both Dr. Knapp and Mr. Clement Shorter have recorded full particulars of
the genesis of the _Celebrated Trials_. Mr. Shorter devotes a
considerable portion of Chapter xi of _George Borrow and his Circle_ to
the subject, and furnishes an analysis of the contents of each of the six
volumes. _Celebrated Trials_ is, of course, the _Newgate Lives and
Trials_ of _Lavengro_, in which book Borrow contrived to make a
considerable amount of entertaining narrative out of his early struggles
and failures.

There is a Copy of the First Edition of _Celebrated Trials_ in the
Library of the British Museum. The Press-mark is 518.g.6.
