1811 BRITAINS BULWARKS OR BRITISH SEAMAN A POEM

I purchased AT ESTATE sale.
It was not printed by publishers but by the telegraph office. I have not been able to find a picture of a first edition to compare it to.
Any body knows if it is a first edition and value.?
Here are some pics.

 

What makes you think this is not the first edition?

The Telegraph was a newspaper in Plymouth Dock, England. Woodley lived there at one point so your volume was printed locally. This is from The Tourist's Companion; Being A Guide To The Towns of Plymouth, Plymouth-Dock, Stonehouse, Morice-Town, Stoke, And Their Vicinities.

You dont have to answer to my post to start a fight. I apologize for what EVER you think I did wrong. Please dont reply to my post and have a nice day.

I accept the apology. If somewhat backhanded......

I WANT VALUE...... I WANT PICTURE......

If you are looking for assistance with your item, it would helpful if you answered questions. I repeat...

What makes you think this is not the first edition?

L. Congdon would be considered the publisher. He published the Telegraph newspaper, as the citation provided by Debora shows, and also published the book at his same office.

There are 18 examples of the original publication held in libraries in the UK, none with a date before or after 1811 - no evidence for any additional editions.

Perhaps you're asking if the binding is original?
