A propos de cet article

[English Dictionary] EARLY PRINTING. Complete in two volumes. Quarto (29 x 24cm), pp.[8] [72] 1184 [4]; pp.[8] 1185-2223 [5]. Contemporary lightly-diced brown calf boards with gilt rule, recently re-backed to-style in tan calf with raised bands and gilt titles. All edges speckled red; textured orange-patterned endpapers. Spotting and a few minor water stains to blanks, and light spotting to margins throughout. Heavy wear to original boards, with repairs to corners. Restored to an attractive, practical condition. Very good. An etymological dictionary first published between 1835 and 1837, and the first major advance from Johnson's efforts in the mid eighteenth century.
