Lot 133 | London: A Poem
JOHNSON, Samuel (1709-1784). London: A Poem. London: printed for R. Dodsley, 1738.

Second edition of Johnson's political satire. Johnson's work was first published in May and was quickly reprinted—the Gentleman's Magazine noted that it had "become remarkable for having got to the Second Edition in the Space of a week." The "second edition" was published in two formats, folio and octavo, with the folio reproducing the first edition page for page. Courtney & Smith pp.7-8.

Folio (357 x 222mm). (A little soiling to title pages, minor creasing to a few leaves.) Modern red quarter morocco. Custom slipcase.
