London, J. Walker; Wilkie and Robinson [et al.], 1810. 4to, xxiv, 678 pp. Old calf scuffed and worn, but a perfectly serviceable copy good for reading. Second edition to be revised by Fuseli, following the 1805 edition. “Pilkington’s dictionary was originally published in 1770. Fuseli’s ‘Advertisement’ states that in this 1810 edition he added ‘considerably more than 300 names and characters of artists,’ mostly of the Spanish school” (Boston Book Co.). Blake did not rate a mention until the 1840 edition. Bentley, Blake Books, 2401, noting that Blake did not appear in any earlier editions. (Item ID: 102583)
