London: printed for John Walker [et al.], 1805. First and only edition, 8vo, pp. xlvii, [1], plus unpaginated lexicon in double column; contemporary tree calf; some rubbing and wear, but overall very good. Perry lifted much material from Johnson, including many of his definitions, citations, and a good part of his grammar. Fleeman does not consider this part of the Johnson canon, but it might just as well be; the Johnsonian, Gwin Kolb, for his part, catalogued it under Johnson. Item #31085
