About this Item

Printed in London by Harrison and Co. in 1786, this first single-volume folio edition of Samuel Johnson?s A Dictionary of the English Language marks a significant issue in English lexicography.

This edition condenses earlier multi-volume versions into a single folio, retaining a prefatory essay on grammar distinctive to this printing. Bound in leather with marbled boards, the copy remains secure and firm with pages displaying moderate toning and light staining. Unpaginated, approximately 960 pages. Folio format measuring 16.75 by 10.75 inches (42.5 by 27.5 cm). Edition: first single-volume folio. #29718 PHOTOS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.
