 The American 3rd Edition of 1807, ‘from the last London edition’, is the English 3rd Edition, despite the appearance of the 4th Edition the previous year, though with the Appendix incorporated into the whole.  It also has, as do all my other American editions, the words ‘In the last edition…..’ under DENIGRATE.\\
-I have copies for the years 1822 and 1824 to 1829.  It is not unreasonable to assume a printing for 1823, especially as Cordell lists an edition for 1823 by J. Richardson and Co., G. Offer, J. Sharpe [etc], the same consortium as that res-ponsible for the 1822 and 1824 printings.  I have also seen offered an 1823 printing by T. Kelly, London, given as ‘A New Edition’, which seems unlikely as this wording does not otherwise appear until the 1830 Tegg, the Caxton Edition having ‘An Entirely New Edition’.  This may be a simple error or it may be an incorrect date.  Cordell lists printings by Kelly for 1832, 1835, 1840 and 1844, while I have the printings for 1829, 1832, 1840 and 1854.  They were all printed for Thomas Kelly, London, R.Griffin and Co., Glasgow, J.Cumming, Dublin, and M.Baudry, Paris, the same combination as for Tegg.  Additionally, my printings are all 3rd Edition reprints, suggesting that the earlier ones also were, and making it less likely, though not impossible, that Kelly would have produced a new edition in 1823.  What I also have, however, is an 1826 Tegg with an additional engraved title page, dated 1823 and printed for Thomas Tegg, T.Kelly, G.Virtue, J.Greaves, Manchester also E.Allen, Leicester.  This identical title page is in the 1832 Kelly, while the 1829 Kelly has the title page undated, published by Thomas Kelly alone.  The University of Exeter library catalogue has a London ‘new edition’ by J.Robins for 1823, but as the words are in brackets it may only mean ‘another printing’.\\

 == 2.14 The Mozley Edition ==
-I have recently acquired an edition published by John and Charles Mozley of Derby.  It is undated, but the earliest dated work of theirs I have so far found is 1849, before which the firm appears to have been Henry Mozley & Sons, with at least one other copy of Walker dated 1842, while a work dated 1863 has the addition of Joseph Masters & Son.  A further complication, however, is that the 1842 edition has ‘A New Edition’ on the title page, suggesting that it may be the Nelson edition, while this printing has nothing.  The only other edition with nothing specific is the 3rd Edition reprint {[[background#the_editions_from_1822_to_1829|See 2.4]]}, and this is not another of those, having the Advertisement to the Fourth Edition, as in the Tegg New Edition {[[background#a_new_edition,_carefully_revised_and_corrected:_tegg_s_editions|See 2.6]]} and the Glasgow Edition {[[background#the_glasgow_printing|See 2.9]]}, as well as the later reference under ‘Denigrate’ {[[background#the_stereotype_edition|See 2.2]][[background#the_editions_from_1822_to_1829| & 2.4]]}, but there is no obvious link in layout with any of the other editions of Tegg, Davis or Young.  Perhaps most significantly, it has the letters I/J and U/V separated completely, something otherwise found only in Young (1849) at this assumed period {[[background#the_separation_of_i_and_j,_u_and_v_in_alphabetical_ordering|See 3.3]]}.  It has a portrait, found, so far, in no other copy, ([[portraits#fig.28]]).  Facially it seems to be somewhere between the Heath engraving and the later Tegg but not identical with either, while the coat is unbuttoned as in Tegg, but with five buttons visible on the waistcoat.  Below it is a facsimile signature, which looks as if it has been copied, by hand, from the one in the Caxton Edition.  Further investigation is needed.  {[[background#Portraits of John Walker|See also 3.10 below]]}\\

+I have located what appears to be the family on various censuses.  That of 1841 shows the parents, Henry and Jane Mozley, living at Friar Gate, St Werburgh, Derby, with their children John, born 1806, Charles, born 1811, Anne, also 1811, Maria, born 1816, and Fanny, born 1821, together with a number of servants.  There may also have been another son, Thomas, who became a clergyman.  In 1851 John was probably the person listed as a visitor to William and Mary Greaves, who appear to have run a hotel in Matlock Bath.  John is given as 'annuitant'.  By 1861 he is married, to Jemima, and has five sons and a daughter.  They live at 101 Friar Gate, St Werburgh, Derby, and John's occupation is publisher.  In 1871 he is living with just his wife and servants, a printer and publisher, still at Friar Gate.  It seems possible that he died in 1872, and jemima the same year.
