Notes on Hutchins’ History of Dorset

The first edition of Hutchins’ History of Dorset was published in 1774 in two volumes, and contained 56 plates, 40 of these were reprinted in the second edition.

The second edition was revised by Richard Gough and John Bowyer Nicholls and published between 1796 and 1815 in four volumes, dated 1796, 1803, 1813 and 1815, and an appendix was issued a little later.  This edition includes the striking 1799 Upjohn Plan of Shaftesbury, and is probably the scarcest and most valuable of the three editions, containing 190 plates, 77 reprinted in the third edition.

The third edition was revised by William Shipp and James Whitworth Hodson and published in 15 parts between 1861 and 1874, for binding into four volumes dated: 1861, 1863, 1868 and 1870 respectively.  This is textually the most complete and therefore the most useful edition for historians, it contains 124 plates, 47 new and 77 reprinted from the second edition.

Both the second and third editions can occur in Large Paper copies.

The third edition was later reprinted in a facsimile edition (5% reduced in size) by EP Publishing Ltd. In 1973 (ISBN for the set: 0-85409-974-3).

The plate complements are quite often incomplete and plates may occur in different positions to those listed below.

We have some printers over-runs of some of the plates from the third edition for sale, click here:  Hutchins Plates

Plate Collation Table for Hutchins’ History of Dorset
