ANTIQUE SAMUEL JOHNSON "JOHNSON'S LIVES OF THE POETS" BOOK (P5)

Description: ANTIQUE SAMUEL JOHNSON "JOHNSON'S LIVES OF THE POETS" BOOK (P5)Great antique hardback book by Samuel Johnson on the lives of poets covering poets whose surnames start with C through to surnames with H. Photo 5 shows that the initial pages, title page and first 14 pages are missing therefore I do not have the date or publication information for this book. The text of the book has the ye olde "f" letter for the letter "s" which was phased out between 1790 and 1812 so I think this book is circa 1790s as I have seen other copies dating to 1795. Photo 4 shows some wear to the blue material on the back cover. Photo 14 shows pencil writing on the inside back cover. Pages inside are in great condition especially as the book is probably around 229 years old.Measures 23cm tall x 14.5cm wide x 4.75cm thick. Weighs 818 grams.See photos for examples of pages inside.
