    I'm not sure I have much wisdom to contribute to this project, but I
    own a few editions and am happy to contribute grunt-work. I have the
    following:

    Blunt Editions:
    1844 (14th)
    1854 (17th)

    Government Editions:
    1879
    1902
    1918 (both the large-format Navy and small-format Appleton printings)
    1938
    1943
    1962
    1966
    1977 (vol I) & 1975 (Vol II)

    I also have Campbell (which you mention in an earlier post, somewhat
    negatively -- details?) and Burstyn's _At the Sign of the Quadrant_,
    which I assume you have or have access to at Mystic.
