8vo, 184 x 109 mms., pp. [v] - viii, 306 [307 Postscript, 308 mounted Errata slip], including half-title, contemporary half straight-grain morocco, yellow boards, floral ornaments in blind on spine, title in gilt; covers a bit soiled, front joint and corners slightly worn but a good copy The reviewer in The Critical Review for 1786 remarked, "Anecdotes of this kind bring us nearer to the object, and dispel the magic cloud which disguised it. The admirers of the Colossus, who gazed at a distance, may shudder at this unhallowed invasion of the shrine of their deity; but they need not be apprehensive: Dr. Johnson will retain, after every allowance has been made, enough to satisfy his rational friends. To her [Mrs. Piozzi], therefore, the office of preserving his sentiments must peculiarly belong; especially if we add her care in observing, that she possessed the abilities tp distinguish the propriety and justness of his remarks.".

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Octavo, contemporary calf boards. Half-title in vol-II, Gilt decorated spines with red and black leather labels. An attractive set. First edition of Hester Thrale Piozzi s significant selection of Dr. Johnson s erudite and entertaining letters the first publication and canonization of a large body of his correspondence uncut in original boards. Samuel Johnson once hailed Hester Thrale, later Piozzi, as "if not the wisest woman in the world undoubtedly one of the wisest" (Allibone, 1601). She met him in 1765; he became a frequent houseguest, and she "was flattered by the attentions of this literary lion who took her sufficiently seriously as a poet not only to praise and criticize her efforts but also to suggest collaboration. With Johnson she was soon translating Boethius's Consolations of Philosophy She assisted him in the preparation of his Journey to the Western Islands, and Johnson acknowledged that several of the lives in his Lives of the Poets owed as much to her conversation as to her skills as amanuensis.

First Edition
FIRST IRISH EDITION. 2 volumes in 1. 8vo, 205 x 120 mms., pp. [v] vi - xvi, 279 [280 nlamk]; [iii] iv - ix [x blank], 306, contemporary sheepskin, gilt rules on spine, red leather label; top margin of title-page with name slightly defective, top of spine chipped, some scoring and very slight wear to covers, front joint slightly cracked, but a good to very good copy with fine provenance. This is the first Irish edition of the classic collection of letters of Samuel Johnson edited by his friend Hester Lynch Piozzi. The provenance of this copy is distinguished and very much Irish, while also connecting to London literary circles, including Edmund Burke, who was close to Samuel Johnson for many years. The printed book-label is so rare that I had never come across it before. It is that of Sir Hercules Langrishe, 1st Baronet (c.1729-1811), Minister of Parliament for Knocktopher, County Kilkenny, Ireland, who was also "commissioner of barracks (1766-74), supervisor of accounts (1767-75), commissioner of revenue (1774-1802), and commissioner of excise (1780-1802)", as well as being "appointed an Irish privy councillor in 1786" (Oxford DNB). Langrishe had a "lifelong friendship with Edmund Burke, who wrote an open 'Letter to Sir H. Langrishe' in 1792, encouraging his efforts to secure relief for Catholics from the rigours of the Penal Laws" (Wikipedia). Literary himself, being a poet and the main compiler of the anthology Baratariana: A Select Collection of Fugitive Political Pieces (Dublin, 1772), Langrishe was notably anthologised himself together with Mrs Piozzi in The Poetical Farrago: Being a Miscellaneous Assemblage of Epigrams and other Jeux D'Esprit (1794): Piozzi's poem titled "Verses" is found in the first volume on page 89, and Langrishe appears five pages later, with "Verses on Miss Farren's Acting in Dublin for the Benefit of Persons Confined for Small Debts". The second owner, who signed "Richard Martin / Clifford", is no doubt Richard Martin, Esquire (1744-1824) of Clifford House, County Cork, Ireland. Clifford House, which he built, and which still stands, is featured on Ireland's National Inventory of Architectural Heritage website, where one can see several photos of the pleasant country seat: . This first Irish edition of Piozzi's collection of Johnson letters is ESTC T75351. It is far more scarce than the first edition, published in London the same year, which is ESTC T82906.
