New York The Grolier Club 1970 6.75 x 10.5 inches hardcover, slipcase 424 pages
This book is a collection of essays by eminent scholars regarding the study of eighteenth-century literature. The essays are in tribute to former Grolier Club President, Donald F. Hyde. Hyde was very active in the Club and after becoming President in 1961, he began revitalizing the library and rehabilitating the clubhouse. He also proposed and organized the Iter Italicum, a legendary Grolier tour, and brought life back to the Club after the depression and war. In addition to his Grolier Club presidency, Hyde was also president of the Bibliographical Society of America, trustee of the New York Public Library and the Pierpont Morgan Library, and a member of the advisory committees of Harvard, Yale, and other university libraries.

Essays are written by Edward A. Bloom, W. Jackson Bate, Louis A. Landa, Charles Ryskamp, Sidney Ives, Carey McIntosh, L.F. Powell, Reuben A. Brower, and others. The book includes four full-page illustrations and is contained in a slipcase printed with an overall pattern of the Club device. It was designed by Joseph Blumenthal, printed by the Spiral Press and the Meriden Gravure Company, and was a winner of an AIGA Fifty Books of the Year award.

First Napier edition, (New editions) with Notes and Appendices by Alexander Napier, plus one volume, unnumbered of Johnsoniana ("Anecdotes of the Late Samuel Johnson by Mrs. Piozzi, Richard Cumberland, Bishop Percy...and extracts from the diary of Madame D'Arblay") 'newly collected and edited by Robina Napier' (Pottle 96). Referred to by Pottle as the best edition of the "Life" before Hill's, essentially a revised Croker. Some of Boswell's notes are placed in the appendixes, which also contain valuable discussions of points too lengthy for use as notes. This edition is prefaced by a valuable essay on Johnson's various biographers, and a summary of the work done by different editors on Boswell's text. The "Life" and the "Tour" contain excellent separate indexes. The most important item in Mrs. Napier's "Johnsoniana" is Thomas Campbell's "Diary of a Visit to England in 1775," which was first published at Sydney, Australia, in 1854, but was here printed for the first time in England. Also separately indexed. "Handsomely printed, with many (54) useful and beautiful illustrations." Pages uncut. Covers soiled, some rubbing to extremites, offset to endpapers, waterstains to top edge of frontispiece and title page in volume five.

By R.W. Chapman with the Collaboration of Allen T. Hazen. New Castle Oak Knoll Books and Gerald M. Goldberg 1984 thick 8vo. cloth. (iv), vii-viii, v-viii, 186, 117-166 pages.
As any Johnsonian scholar or collector knows, Courtney and Smith's indispensable bibliography of Johnson is a hard book to find. Now it is readily available once again and in a new format which brings together, for the first time, the work of four distinguished Johnsonian bibliographers. This book is a reprint of the 1925 edition of Courtney and Smith which had the facsimiles of title pages. To this has been added the preface of the 1915 edition, which did not appear in either the 1925 reissue or 1968 reprint. In 1939 Chapman and Hazen's comprehensive supplement to this bibliography appeared: Johnsonian Bibliography, A Supplement to Courtney; this is reprinted in full. Officially authorized by the Oxford University Press and Oxford Bibliographical Society, this volume is the best bibliographical tool on Samuel Johnson currently available.

With Introductions by Donald D. Eddy. New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Books 1993 8vo. quarter leather, paper over boards. (vii), 320 pages.
First edition, limited to 210 numbered copies. In studying great authors, one of the persisting lines of inquiry has involved questions of influence and association. What specific authors influenced our writer? What books has he read, quoted from, or owned? The obvious first way to answer these questions is to examine the author's own published writings. Other ways include examining the author's correspondence; letters of the author's friends and acquaintances; contemporary biographical accounts; locating the actual physical volumes owned by the author or presented to others, etc. An important part of this process is examining any available list of the books in the author's library. All too frequently - and this is true in the case of Samuel Johnson - the only list is the sale catalogue of his library prepared for the auction following his death. However hastily such a catalogue may have been prepared, and whatever its faults and omissions, it is still invaluable, since it presents the names of more authors and titles our author knew than any other source. It is for this reason that the three sale catalogues reproduced here, for the first time in one volume, are so important. Donald Eddy has provided a lively and informative introduction explaining the significance of each catalogue, some of the highlights of the sales and the dangers inherent in studying these catalogues. He also provides a list of known locations of each of these catalogues. The introduction has been printed by letterpress and the catalogues by offset lithography at The Ascensius Press. The book has been bound by Campbell-Logan Bindery.
