Birmingham: printed by John Baskerville, 1765. First and only edition, 18mo in sixes, 96 leaves, [†]2 a-c6 d2 B-N6 O2; later half brown morocco over marbled boards, bound by George A. Zabriskie with his armorial bookplate on upper pastedown, gilt decorated spine in five compartments, gilt-decorated dentelles, marbled endpapers; boards rubbed and bumped, title page chipped, losing the "V" in vocabulary, with contemporary inscription, moderate foxing, good and sound. A dictionary in the "hard words" tradition, omitting "the common words of the language," and designed for the use of "young ladies, and gentlemen, too, who have not had the advantage of a liberal or learned education" (Preface). Halkett & Laing, Kennedy, and Alston attribute the work to Baskerville himself - an attribution of which I've always been dubious.

Lord William Pitt Lennox (1799-1881) was a British Army officer and writer of bad novels. He preferred sport, horseracing, literature, and other entertainments to military life - a life cut short by blindness in one eye.

Southey died while still… Leer más
