First Dublin edition. 12mo, xiv + 346 pp. Good tight copy on lightly-aged paper. In original worn tree calf binding, with remains of red label gilt on spine and no free endpapers. Subtitled 'Now first published from his Lordship's original manuscripts. By Henry Penruddocke Wyndham.' Wyndham had inherited Dodington's papers from…a relative, whose will requested him 'not to print or publish any of them, but those that are proper to be made publick, and such only, as may, in some degree, do honour to his memory'. Considering that Dodington's 'political conduct' was 'wholly directed by the base motives of avarice, vanity, and selfishness', Wyndham justified the publication with the claim that the diary 'may reflect a considerable degree of honour on his Lordship's abilities' (Preface, pp. vii-viii). Armorial bookplate of Charles Bacon (motto: 'MEDIOCRIA FIRMA' i.e descendent of Francis Bacon, author). Pencil notes of Regency era books (Byron, Scott) on rear pastedown.

First Dublin Edition. in contemporary calf, joints cracking at head of spine, red morocco label lettered in gilt, with the contemporary heraldic bookplate of John Wallis. 12mo, xiv, 346, Dodington left all his property to his cousin, Thomas Wyndham of Hammersmith, who in turn left it all to Henry Penruddocke Wyndham. In addition… to the diary, it included a vast collection of Dodington?s private correspondence. Wyndham, a native of Compton Chamberlayne near Salisbury, also published a translation of the entries for Wiltshire in the Domesday Book, hoping that it might pave the way for a more general history of Wiltshire, for which he put up some money.

8vo, pp. xv, [i], 506; bound without the final advertisement leaf; contemporary tree calf, rebacked preserving most of the original spine. Bookplate of John Cator. First edition. This copy belonged to John Cator, a wealthy Kentish timber merchant and property developer. Cator (1728-1806) is important in the history of outer Lond…on for his transformation of the Blackheath and Beckenham area in the later 18th century; but he is also known to Johnsonians for his close friendship with Samuel Johnson and the Thrale family. As Boswell recorded, he was a co-executor with Johnson (and three others) of Henry Thrale's estate in 1781, and it has been reported that Johnson advised Cator on the books he should buy for his library. Whether true or not, Johnson admired Cator for his 'rough, manly independent understanding' (Hill-Powell IV 313), and Cator was on the committee supervising the erection of Johnson's monument in St Paul's in 1791.
