In November 1753, Richardson ran an ad in "The Gentleman's Magazine" to announce the ""History of Sir Charles Grandison: in a Series of Letters published from the Originals, — By the Editor of Pamela and Clarissa", London: Printed for S. Richardson, and sold by Dodsley in Pall Mall and others." The first four volumes were published on 13 November 1753 and the next two volumes appeared in December. The final volume was published in March to complete a seven volume series while a six volume set was simultaneously published. Richardson held the sole copyright to "Grandison", and, after his death, twenty-fourth shares of "Grandison" were sold for 20 pounds each. Posthumous editions were published in 1762 (including revisions by Richardson) and 1810.
