Johnson, Samuel A Dictionary of the English Language. 2 Vols.
London W. Strahan for J. And P. Knapton 1755 First Edition Full Leather Good +
The eponymous book. By virtue of the massive work involved in achieving this classic of the philogical world, Samuel Johnson became synonymous with his creation -- he became Dictionary Johnson. The title-pages are printed in red and black. [Courtney & Smith, p 54; PMM 201; Rothschild 1237]. The title leaf of vol. 1 is trimmed, and backed by paper; the first leaf of the Preface is repaired, and the chip at the lower right corner has about 20 words replaced in holograph. Both volumes are fully rebound in full dark leather, five raised bands, with the original contrasting morocco labels ( note: marked in gilt titles as "First Edition" ] in their proper position (altho scratched). 005901

Johnson, Samuel The Prince of Abissinia. A Tale
London R. And J. Dodsley 1759 First Edition Full Morocco Fine
This work is also known by the name of its hero, Rasselas. "The attack in RASSELAS is directed against the optimism of the18th century or, more generally, against all simple formulas that profess to lead man to happiness ... RASSELAS has often been compared with Voltaire's CANDIDE; the two works were published only a few weeks apart - Reader's Encyclopedia." This is the variant with the text, "indiscerpible" , at p. 161, line 2, of vol. 2; corrected state of v.2 reading, "Contents / of the / second volume"; p. 106 mis-signed "D4", not "H4". Only 1500 copies of this edition were printed. It was hurried into publication due to the illness of Johnson's beloved mother. Raised bands, inner dentelles, a.e.g., lacks preliminaries. 003661
