First Edition
First edition of this absorbing miscellany of English poetry, thematically and alphabetically organized in the tradition of Edward Bysshe's popular Art of English Poetry (1702). Verses appear under headings from "Abbey" (a passage from the Elizabethan history play Thomas Lord Cromwell, attributed to Shakespeare) to "Zimri" (from Dryden's "Absalom and Achitophel"). Other headings include "Bees," "Camera Obscura," "Folly," "Genius," "Hops," "Marriage," "Player," "Sloth," and "Witch." The verses under "Love," covering forty-five pages, offer a brisk survey of every aspect of infatuation, passion, and regret, from Romeo and Juliet through Comus to The Rape of the Lock. Although the Poetical Dictionary was once attributed to Oliver Goldsmith, based on the prose style of the preface, the editorship of Samuel Derrick is now established. A failed actor and enterprising hack writer, Derrick was friendly with Samuel Johnson, whose massive 1755 Dictionary of the English Language looms over this lighter, sprightlier dictionary. ESTC T42700. A handsome set. Four twelvemo volumes bound in two, measuring 7.5 x 4.25 inches: xii, 288; [2], 244; [2], 276; [2], 252. Modern quarter-calf ruled in blind and lettered in gilt, marbled boards, uncut. Decorative typographic headpieces and tailpieces. Early library pressmarks in red ink to preliminary blanks of both volumes and title pages of Volumes I and III; occasional light foxing; edges darkened.

Book
Full-Leather. Condition: Very Good. Second Edition. 73 of the 75 volumes of this set. This is a new edition dating from 1790. This set was originally published in 1779. All are in good to very good condition with rubbing to the spine and around the edges and some light marking and edge wear to the front and rear panels. Each volume has gilt decorations and three title panels on the spine: At the top this is burgundy and has 'Johnson's Poets' on it and this is present and more or less complete on 54 volumes; in the centre it is black and has the names of the poets in the volume on it and this is present on 38 volumes; and at the bottom there should be a small black panel with the volume number - this has proved the most fragile and is now only present on 3 volumes. There is a little browning to the page edges. Each volume has the original owner's bookplate - this was Alfred Octavius Hartley, M.A. of Steeple Ashton Vicarage in Wells in Norfolk. There is a little browning to the endpapers. The pages are also slightly browned with marks and stains to a few volumes but they are generally free from any spotting. The set deals with the life and work of 66 poets. Volumes 1-6 contain the lives of the poets and the final two volumes contain a general index. The remaining volumes contain the works of the poets. Some volumes contain the works of more than one poet while for the major poets several volumes are devoted to their work. Because this is a set of 73 volumes there will be an additional postage charge so if this is a concern please make contact before ordering so the different options can be discussed.
