Evelina

No book-club issues exist for this title. The reprint trap is speed: the novel ran through roughly five editions by 1779, all under the same T.

The third edition (1779) is the easiest to eliminate on sight because its title page inserts 'the History of'; for the second edition, fall back on the errata leaf and the advertisement leaves.
