Hello,
1886 is the posthumous Devanagari print:
https://archive.org/details/ShabdaKalpadrumaComplete (this is the 1967
reprint of the 1886 edition)
It's worth comparing with the Bengali script version, from Śaka 1743
(not quite 1819): https://www.digitale-sammlungen.de/en/view/bsb10219712
From looking at a couple of passages, the Devanagari print has a number
of typos as well as a number of variant readings that are possibly
deliberate emendations.
Best,
Charles

Dear David,
For Śabdakalpadrumaḥ, Banglapedia reports 1819 for the first volume
and 1858 for the last
(https://en.banglapedia.org/index.php/Shabdakalpadruma#:~:text=Shabdakalpadruma%20Sanskrit%20dictionary%20compiled%20by,annexure%2C%20was%20published%20in%201858}.
For Vācaspatyam, WorldCat reports the original publication dates as
1873-1884
(https://search.worldcat.org/title/vachaspatyam-a-comprehensive-sanskrit-dictionary/oclc/830765108?referer=di&ht=edition

Dear Colleagues,
Can anyone point me to the original publication dates of
Rādhākāntadeva Bāhādura's /Śabdakalpadrumaḥ/ and Tārānātha
Tarkavācaspati's /Vācaspatyam/. From what I can find Rādhākānta lived
1784-1867 (Śrī Wikipedia uvāca
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radhakanta_Deb>), while Tārānātha
lived 1812-1885 (Śrī Brian Hatcher uvāca
<https://www.jstor.org/stable/3876590>). The wonderful Cologne
Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries website lists the dates of publication
as 1886 for the /Śabdakalpadruma/ and 1873 for the /Vācaspatyam./ But
this seems to flip the sequence. And I found an article
<https://www.jstor.org/stable/25207458> R. Lenz from 1835 glorifying
the first three volumes of the Śabdakalpadruma.
Any help is appreciated, as is any broader scholarship on these two
momentous scholars.
Thanks,
Dave
