About This Item
London: [London] [vol. I:] In the Savoy: printed by and for Henry Lintot, law-printer to the King's most excellent Majesty. M.DCC.LVI. [vol. II:] In the Savoy: printed by Henry Lintot, law-printer to the King's most excellent Majesty; for T. Waller, opposite Fetter-Lane, Fleet-Street. MDCCLVI. [1756], 1756. 4th Edition . Leather. Good. Description: Folio (14¼ × 9¼ in): [28], 417, [27] p.; [26], 780 p. (verso of the first leaf of the second volume contains bookseller ads). Contemporary polished calf, later morocco title labels. · Register: Mixed 2º and 2º-form 4º: [pi]² a-f² B-5U²; [pi]² A1 a-e² B-9M² (horizontal chain lines on the preliminaries in both volumes and gatherings 5D, 5E, 5H, 5I, 5L-U in vol. 1 and 3C-H, 3K-M, 3P, 3Y-3C, 4F, 4G, 4I-X, 5B-6F, 6T, 7O-9M in vol. 2). · Condition: Joints cracked, head of first volume chipped, modern bookplates on front pastedowns, light to moderate toning. · Comments: Fourth edition of the first volume and first edition of the second volume. Volume 1 was first published in 1732, with subsequent editions in 1734 and 1739. Both volumes were reprinted once more in London in the eighteenth century, with a further edition in Dublin. The two volumes were considered of unequal merit, the first being received as a high authority and the second with much greater caution. Authorship of the volumes is uncertain, although Viner thought the first volume was the work of a Mr. Pooley. · References: Johnson 73 (5 copies); Wallace 490; S&M 1:286(6); Worrall 3-4; Bridgman 111; Cowley 245, 246; ESTC T97047.
