Could someone contribute information on editions of the History? A quick search at the Stanford library turned up nothing more recent than the 1913 illustrated edition, with an introduction by an Oxford professor noting Gladstone’s call for a critical edition. An Amazon search turned up mostly dreck, with some facsimiles of older editions, and a Penguin edition, which seems to have been heavily abridged by Lord Trevor-Roper. —FlashSheridan (talk) 02:49, 14 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Check out the wonderful unabridged, boxed-set, hard-bound editions published by the Folio Society in 1985 & 2009. They are reprints of the 1913 Macmillan edition. They're not critical editions, but they do have recent intros & forwards. As physical objects, they couldn't be better. Valerius Tygart (talk) 12:35, 3 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

Surely this is incorrect or misleading, given (for example) the contents page of the Wikimedia version which can be discovered by clicking on the link in the article? 45.93.75.130 (talk) 22:26, 17 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
