About this Item

1778, London, Printed for J. Nourse, Bookseller to HIS MAJESTY, folio, the second edition, not paginated, charming contemporary full calf, raised bands, lettered in gilt on red label. Although called the second edition, it is Baretti's first. He took as his basis Delphino's 1763 work, revised and expanded it, and called it a second edition to acknowledge his debt. He added about 10,000 words, omitted some, and leaned heavily on Samuel Johnson (his friend) for the English section. See Palau y Dulcet - Manual del Librero Hispano-Americano Volume 1, p. 175.
