Zustand: Good. Stockholm, J. L. Horrn, 1727. 8:o. Engraved front,(16),304 pp. Woodcut illustrations in the text. Title printed in red and black. ("The English farmer and shepherd") Contemporary calf, somewhat worn, with raised bands and oxidized gilt decoration on spine. Edges sprinkled red. Front joint with a few minor cracks. Signatures, notes and smudge on pastedowns and flyleaves. Some dampstains and soiling, tear to upper margin on p. 21. Hebbe Den svenska lantbrukslitteraturen 518. The nice frontispiece is engraved by Haton. At the time of publication Jacob Serenius was pastor at the Swedish congregation in London.

4to, pp. [8], 16, unpaginated lexicon in double column; full contemporary Swedish calf, red morocco label; rebacked, with old spine laid down, endpapers renewed; spine quite rubbed, but generally a good, sound copy. With a 'Table of Terms of Trade and Navigation' and 'Words of Command and Sea-Terms' occupying 17pp. at the back, and another on herbal terms occupying another 12pp. Serenius chaplin to the Swedish embassy in London 1725-35, where he tried to strengthen the relations between Sweden and Great Britain. It was during this time that he began work on his dictionary, Dictionarium Suethico-Anglo-Latinum, first published in Stockholm in 1741. Termed second edition, the present work is basically a new undertaking, being twice the size of the original, with a much expanded emphasis on etymology. Serenius states in his preface that he has been influenced by Edward Lye, and 'in a manner excited by the late lexicographer Mr. Johnson, that prodigy of laboriousness and sagacity, who in the preface to his excellent Dictionary complains of a scanty knowledge in northern literature É I must own that the judicious author is aright." This must be one of the earliest acknowledgements by a foreign lexicographer of the achievements of Johnson. Serenius does not say so, but it seems likely that some of the etymologies were borrowed from him.

Second edition, with large additions and amendments, 4to, pp. [8], 16 & unpaginated lexicon in double column, edges rubbed, small cracks starting at the tops and bottoms of the joints, but generally a very good copy in contemporary quarter calf over marbled boards; binding firm. With a 'Table of Terms of Trade and Navigation' and 'Words of Command and Sea-Terms' occupying 17 pages at the back, and another on herbal terms occupying another 12 pages. Serenius was chaplain to the Swedish embassy in London 1725-35, where he tried to strengthen the relations between Sweden and Great Britain. It was during this time that he began work on his dictionary, Dictionarium Suethico-Anglo-Latinum, first published in Stockholm in 1741. Termed the second edition, the present work is basically a new undertaking, being twice the size of the original, with a much-expanded emphasis on etymology. Serenius states in his preface that he has been influenced by Edward Lye, and 'in a manner excited by the late lexicographer Mr. Johnson, that prodigy of laboriousness and sagacity, who in the preface to his excellent Dictionary complains of a scanty knowledge in northern literature . I must own that the judicious author is aright." This must be one of the earliest acknowledgements by a foreign lexicographer of the achievements of Johnson. (His dictionary was published in 1755.) Serenius does not say so, but it seems likely that some of the etymologies were borrowed from him.
