In den Warenkorb8vo, pp. [iv], 500, [2] advertisements; a sound copy in contemporary calf, rebacked and recornered; new morocco label. Second edition: edited, with an introduction, by the Scots churchman George Gleig (1753-1840). He dedicates the book to Arthur Murphy and devotes his introduction to attacking almost every aspect of Sir John Haw…kins's biography, and the edition of Johnson's works which he supervised: 'For these, as well as his own mistakes, Sir John Hawkins alone is answerable. Had not he thrust himself into an office which he is so little qualified to fill, and claimed it by an engagement so sacred as to keep others at a distance, there would surely have been found among Johnson's friends some guardian of his fame equal to the task of doing justice to his character' (pp. 5-6). Gleig is also dismissive of the 1735 edition, for the 'blunders of the printer', which are 'uncommonly numerous'. Fleeman 35.2LV/2; Courtney & Nichol Smith pp. 3-4; Chapman & Hazen p. 165. This edition was intended to be a supplementary fifteenth volume to the Hawkins edition, following on from Stockdale's two-volume edition of the Parliamentary Debates (1787); but as with most copies, the half title stating this is no longer present. The book was almost certainly sold as a separate work at the time, and that prefatory leaf cancelled.
