_Cave's Historia Literaria._--My present Queries arise out of a Note
which I took of a passage in Adam Clarke's _Bibliography_, under the
article "W. Cave" (vol. ii. p. 161.).
1. Has not the bibliographer assigned a wrong date to the publication of
Cave's _Historia Literaria_, viz. 1740, instead of 1688-1698?
2. Will some of your readers do me the favour of mentioning the
successive editions of the _Historia Literaria_, together with the year
and the place of appearance of each of them?
According to the _Biographia Britannica_ (ed. 2., "Cave, W."), this
learned work came out in the year above stated, and there were two
impressions printed at Geneva in 1705 and 1720 respectively.
