BOSWELL, James
THE LIFE OF SAMUEL JOHNSON, LL.D
Limited Editions Club London 1938 Three octavo (6-1/4" x 10") volumes bound in full Winterbottom linen buckram with red leather spine labels stamped in gold. Printed at the Curwen Press, this is an important edition of this classic in that it is the first published edition to contain marginalia by Hester Thrale Piozzi. Two different copies, one belonging to Colonel Ralph Isham and the other to Harvard bequeathed by Amy Lowell, each annotated by Thrale, were used to create this edition. Copy #380 of 1500 copies illustrated with three frontispieces. Issued unsigned. Spines mildly sunned, as almost always the case due to the sensitive linen bindings, with a few light scrapes to the spine labels. Near Fine, lacking the slipcase.
