Thanks for the update, badgeguy That's quite a collection there!
The first edition was 1879
The "second" (which was actually called the First Revised Edition) was 1880
The "third" (which was actually called the Second Revised Edition) was 1883
According to the preface (page IV) of the 1883 edition, the 1880 edition was little more than a reprint of the 1879 edition.
I'm wondering if anyone has scanned the 1880 version and posted it online.

List of editions at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baird%2...e_Fraternities
As far as I can tell from the
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyrig..._Extension_Act , the 1920 (and earlier) edition should be out of copyright, but the 1923 edition won't be out of copyright until 2019.
Is there any chance we could get the NIC to webpublish those editions up to say the 18th in 1968?
At one point I went looking for the editions on books.google.com. I found the 1879(1st), 1898 (5th), 1905(6th), 1912 (7th), 1915 (8th), and 1920(9th). As indicated above 1923 isn't out of copyright, so snippets are on-line. I've seen snippets for some of the more recent, but I haven't bothered to check which have snippets and which aren't there at all.
