The two title-pages of Volume I appear to be the same as in the preceding edition, but in Volume II "Glubbdubdrib" has one final "b" instead of two, and "Vol. II." is omitted. The type of "World" is heavier faced in this edition. The text is reset; ornaments, use of type, and spelling are different. In the Contents of Volume II, "Pirates" in Chapter I is here spelled "Pyrates." Page 74 of Part III is misprinted 44 in this edition, and not in the preceding; but the misprint in the running headline on page 165, Part IV, is here corrected to "the Houyhnhmns." "Glubbdubdrib" is spelled without the final "b" in the text of both editions, except at the head of Chapter I, in the preceding, which would point to the final "bb" on the title of Volume II as a misprint corrected in the present edition.
In both editions Chapter VII of Part III is misprinted Chapter V. Part III of the present edition contains 155 pages, whereas the previous edition contains 154 and ends with a different signature.
