On 34 x 27 cm unwatermarked laid paper. Dimensions of plate 34 x 23 cm. Dimensions of print 5.1 x 7.4 cm. Dimensions of print and text 15 x 7.4 cm. In fair condition, lightly aged, spotted and creased, with stub from album adhering to one margin. This is an early state of a print of which the British Library has a copy (acquired in 1867) of the undated third state, dated to 1820, carrying only four lines of text rather than the substantial amount present here. The present copy has, engraved in small letters immediately beneath the print: 'Robt. Balmanno delt. 1818. Jno. Pye sculpt.' Below this, in larger type is the text, with one footnotes, and beneath the text is the printer's slug: 'Johnson, Typ.' The text is headed 'Cenotaph erected at Stoke Park, to the Memory of the Poet Gray.', and begins: 'The delightful scenery of the Church Yard, and of Stoke Old Mansion, seen among the trees, are admirably described in the Elegy and the Long Story; but the once magnificent 'Ancient Pile,' is now a ruin. The lines on a Prospect of Eton College (distant about four miles) were written on this spot.' Next are given, in double column, the 'Inscriptions on the Cenotaph', which include four stanzas from the Elegy and the first eight lines of the Eton College ode. The body of the text concludes, regarding the engraving: 'The column in the distance is dedicated to Sir Edward Coke, and is another of those chaste ornaments with which the Proprietor, John Penn, Esq. has adorned this classic spot.' Above the printer's slug is the footnote, concerning the placement of Gray's tombstone in the print: 'Represented in the View under the church window, to the left.' The British Library copy of the third state carries only a four-line quotation from the twenty-ninth stanza of the Elegy ('with dirges [.] aged thorn.'). The British Library copy of the 1820 state of the engraving has all of the text present in this 1818 version removed. It has, beneath the four-line poetic quotation, another engraving, not present on the present copy, being a 'profile portrait of the poet in an oval'. Balmanno's letters and those of his wife Mary, to the Philadelphia engraver John Sartain, are in the New York Public Library.

Extract from fugitive pieces (pp 143-170), 1761?, gemarmerde originele omslag, ingenaaid, beschadigd op de rug.

8vo, pp. [ii], 602, [15] index, [1] errata; some light foxing; a few MS corrections by an early hand (e.g. on pp. 245 and 247); a decent, sound copy in contemporary calf, rebacked. First edition. Hawkins's biography of Johnson was disliked by contemporaries (Lady Eleanor Butler dismissed it as a 'wretched performance') and effectively buried four years later by Boswell, who had nothing good to say about it or its author. Certainly it is hard to read the book now and have much respect for a man who had so little respect for others. However, Bertram H. Davis in the introduction to his abridged reprint (New York, 1961) does his best, pointing out that Hawkins 'brought to his task an unusual ability to turn up out-of-the-way information, an acquaintance with Johnson that spanned almost half a century, and a lifelong intimacy with the London that was Johnson's milieu. As executor, he had access to Johnson's private papers. and during the two years his book was in the making he was able to examine the numerous Johnsoniana that poured from the press. here in these pages is a painstaking memorial to one of England's greatest men, and we may be obliged to Hawkins for not following the easy parth of publishing only his personal recollections, but for availing himself instead of almost every material that a biographer could profitably put to use' (p. xxviii). In this copyo an early hand has corrected, in pencil, a reference to William Kenrick (on p. 346), writing that the man was 'a Mr Campbel a Scots man, and a purser on a man of war. He was a man of talents & literature'. ESTC points out that a large number of leaves (as many as 18) are apparently cancels, which indicates the care for accuracy with which the book was compiled. Provenance. Early booklabel of Henry Johnson, Winchester; more recent booklabel of Margaret Huntingdon.
