This edition was prepared by Stephen Jones. Dodd (1729 - 1777), aka "The Macaroni Parson," began his literary career with at Cambridge with Diggon Davy's Resolution on the Death of his Last Cow (1747), a poem on foot-and-mouth disease, which at least shows commendable prescience. Anticipating Mr. Micawber, he spent more than he earned, and eventually forged a bill of exchange for £4200 allegedly drawn on Lord Chesterfield. The forgery was discovered, he went to prison, and was hanged on 27 June 1777. The first edition of The Beauties of History was published in 1795, well after Dodd's death,but according to Stephen Jones in the preface, he had accumulated materials for an edition during his lifetime; this version has been extended and amplified, Roscoe, J94 (3).
