Two pages, on leaf roughly eight and a half inches by five. Very good, with three stab holes along one margin. Headed 'NEW COLLECTION OF VOYAGES AND TRAVELS, [...] This Day is published'. On the reverse is a long and florid 'ADDRESS' beginning 'As we have now closed our labours, it is natural to make a retrospective view of what has been performed' and ending 'We, therefore, anticipate the verdict of the public, not with the confidence of desert, but with the hope of indulgence, which we have studied to deserve.' Newbery (no doubt a relation of the celebrated eighteenth-century bookseller John Newbery) does not feature in BBTI. He appears who appears to have died in Clapham, Surrey, in 1807.
