1747.  In Astley’s Collection, IV. 580 seqq., there is an abstract
      of Polo’s book, with brief notes, which are extremely acute, though
      written in a vulgar tone, too characteristic of the time.

1818.  Marsden’s famous English Edition.

1824.  The Publication of the most valuable MS. and most genuine form of
      the text, by the Soc. de Geographie of Paris. (See vol. i.) It also
      contains the Latin Text (No. 24 in our list of MSS.  App.  F.).

1827.  Baldelli-Boni published the Crusca MS. (No. 40), and republished the
      Ramusian Version, with numerous notes, and interesting
      dissertations.  The 2 volumes are cumbered with 2 volumes more
      containing, as a Preliminary, a History of the Mutual Relations of
      Europe and Asia, which probably no man ever read. Florence.

1844.  Hugh Murray’s Edition.  It is, like the present one, eclectic as
      regards the text, but the Editor has taken large liberties with the
      arrangement of the Book.

1845.  Buerck’s German Version, Leipzig.  It is translated from Ramusio, with
      copious notes, chiefly derived from Marsden and Ritter.  There are
      some notes at the end added by the late Karl Friedrich Neumann, but
      as a whole these are disappointing.

1847.  Lazari’s Italian edition was prepared at the expense of the late
      Senator T. Pasini, in commemoration of the meeting of the Italian
      Scientific Congress at Venice in that year, to the members of which
      it was presented.  It is a creditable work, but too hastily got up.

1854.  Mr. T. Wright prepared an edition for Bohn’s Antiq. 
      Library.  The notes are in the main (and professedly) abridged
      from Marsden’s, whose text is generally followed, but with the
      addition of the historical chapters, and a few other modifications
      from the Geographic Text.

1854-57. Voyageurs Anciens et Modernes, &c.  Par M. Ed. Charion. 
      Paris.  An interesting and creditable popular work.  Vol. ii.
      contains Marco Polo, with many illustrations, including copies from
      miniatures in the Livre des Merveilles. (See list in App.  F.
      p. 528.)

1863.  Signor Adolfo Bartoli reprinted the Crusca MS. from the original,
      making a careful comparison with the Geographic Text.  He has
      prefixed a valuable and accurate Essay on Marco Polo and the
      Literary History of his Book, by which I have profited.

1865.  M. Pauthier’s learned edition.

1871.  First edition of the present work.

1873.  First publication of Marco Polo in Russian.

1875.  Second edition of this work.

1882.  Facsimile of the French Stockholm MS. by Baron A.E.  Nordenskioeld.
