The first Dublin edition, published the same year as the UK first edition.George Bubb Dodington, 1st Baron Melcombe PC (1691 July 28, 1762) was an English politician and nobleman. Christened simply George Bubb, he acquired the surname Dodington around the time his uncle George Dodington died in 1720 and left him his estate.
