"Attributed to John [sc. George] Gregory and William Godwin by William St. Clair" (The Godwins and the Shelleys, 1989, p. 520: "Principal author Gregory, Godwin's successor at the New Annual Register." "Godwin contributed to Chapter 1 and possibly to some of the later chapters taken from the New Annual Register for 1790 and subsequent volumes." Formerly thought to be a translation of Jean-Paul Rabaut, Précis historique de la révolution françoise, continued by J.C.D. de la Cretelle. Originally published in the New Annual Register of 1791-1793" (OCLC). This is a lending library copy, with names of ten readers, together with dates (of lending) listed on the front pastedown of volume I (March 11 to July 2, 1794), and another contemporary signature of "Tho. Howes" on the front free endpaper. The first name in the list is that of the Rev. T. Howes (presumably the same as "Tho. Howes"). Within four months ten persons, half of them clergymen, had read the book - a measure of the astonished urgency and curiosity the revolution was arousing in England.
