Published by Mark Basket and intially projected to span eight volumes, it was expanded to nine volumes before being continued by the Eyre and Strahan publishing houses.

The 18 volumes of the Ruffhead edition of the statutes was here privately bound as one continuously numbered set along with the series entitled The Statutes of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Irelandedited by Tomlins (Volumes I - III) and later by Raithby (Volumes IV and onward). Volume One of this series was published in 1804 (which is here bound as Volume XX), and Volume Two was published in 1807 (here bound as Volume XIX). 1363426. Special Collections.
