About this Item

In good condition. Boards are lightly worn along edges, corners and covers. Marbled boards are rubbed. Spine nicely preserved with little creasing and gilt finishing intact. Female ownership on flyleaf. Maggie B. Robertson in old hand. Marbled foreedge toned and lightly faded. Interior lightly toned with nominal foxing. Free of markings. Binding tight and intact. A nice readable copy. Please see photos. Later Scottish edition. An actor and lecturer on elocution, Walker (1732-1807) enjoyed the patronage and friendship of Dr. Johnson, Edmund Burke, and other distinguished men. His Pronouncing Dictionary is a landmark in English lexicography, the pronunciations eventually being married with Johnson s text; and this, editions of Johnson-Walker proliferated into the 20th century.
