Johnson, Samuel

Prayers and Meditations ... Published from his Manuscripts, by George Strahan

London: Printed for T. Cadell, 1785 Intermittently throughout his life, Johnson kept diaries and recorded his most private thoughts. Before his death he passed these notebooks on to the Rev. George Strahan, to be edited and published the year following his death. They are in many ways the most intimate glimpse we have into Johnson’s soul, e.g., the last entry captioned Ejaculation Imploring Diligence: “O God, make me to remember that the night cometh when no man can work.” The manuscripts are now in Pembroke College, Oxford First Edition. 8vo. . Contemporary speckled calf spine, red morocco label, marbled boards. Book label of Chas. Bedford. Some pencil notes on blanks, minor inoffensive spotting. Sound, tall & attractive copy. Chapman and Hazen, p. 163; Courtney & Nichol Smith, p 158
