Dibdin II 4th ed. p. 509. "This edition was undertaken by Karl Andreas Duker at the express wish and entreaty of the publishers R. and J. Wetsten and Wm. Smith on account of the scarcity and high price of Hudson's at that time. The famous Joseph Wasse had prepared a variety of materials for this work by a careful revision of all the preceding editions: but he dying Duker was prevailed upon to complete it. The preface is by Duker; and although it is one of the most sumptuous and erudite productions which we have ever received from the continent and has long borne the distinguished title of " Editio optima;" yet says Harles "critici multa desiderant in hâc alias venustâ et præstanti editione" i.e. critics find much to be desired in this otherwise charming and excellent edition. apud R. & J. Wetstenios & Gul. Smith unknown
