List of works
Bradley’s works are best consulted in the latest of the editions mentioned. These are the ones usually cited in recent discussion; they are also the most useful in that, while the earlier text is usually left intact, Bradley’s later thoughts are added in the form of notes, appendices and essays. The library of Merton College, Oxford, holds Bradley’s unpublished papers, notebooks and letters received. The Russell Archives at McMaster University contain letters from Bradley to Russell (some interesting extracts appear in The Collected Papers of Bertrand Russell, vol. 6, 349–353), and the John Rylands Library of the University of Manchester has letters from Bradley to Samuel Alexander.

Bradley, F.H. (1893, 1897) Appearance and Reality, London: Swan Sonnenschein.
(The second edition contains a substantial and important Appendix. The most commonly encountered version now is the so-called ‘ninth impression’ of 1930, on which all subsequent printings have been based. This was published in Oxford at the Clarendon Press after the rights were secured from George Allen & Unwin, which as George Allen had taken over Swan Sonnenschein. This ninth impression is a textually corrected version of the second edition, but has a completely different pagination. Out of print at the time of writing.)
