Note

Title of v. 3-5 varies: without "With the life of the author." - Also issued in six volumes (Bristol B3860), "The life and opinions of Tristram Shandy" being reissued in three volumes rather than two.

The Sermons of Mr. Yorick (v. 3 & 4) are also recorded separately by Evans (entry 13641) but were apparently not so issued.
