Malory apparently began work on Le Morte d'Arthur while imprisoned in the early 1450s; completing it some 20 years later. First printed by Caxton in 1485 its popularity was such that subsequent editions were issued by Wynkyn de Worde in 1498 and 1529. Three more editions followed: William Copland's (1557), Thomas East's (1585), and the present. Stansby's was the last edition before the revival of interest in medieval literature in the early 19th century. Until the discovery of the Winchester manuscript in the 1930s this 1634 printing was the textual basis for most editions. Only some 15-or-so copies in total are extant of all these 5 prior editions, and realistically this edition is the earliest obtainable edition of Malory.

'"The State of the Poor is one of the classical works in the history of economics. Eden was led to embark on the subject by the high prices brought on by the war in 1794 and 1795, and the effect they had on the living conditions of the poorer classes... Eden's own work, notwithstanding its originality, might now be forgotten if it were not for the invaluable collection of facts attached to it, which can never cease to be of importance... it has proved the basis of sociological investigation ever since." - PMM.
