Description:
67 volumes ONLY volume I missing Cowlet I. , A set of Johnson's canonical edition of the English Poets. Johnson had signed a contract with a consortium of booksellers on 29 March 1777, agreeing to supply ""a concise account"" of some fifty poets. The first instalment appeared in March 1779, the second in 1780, and the third in May 1781. Johnson's ""major lives were quickly recognized as setting a new standard for English literary biography."" (Pat Rogers, Oxford DNB). This is the very rare� edition of Samuel Johnson's selection of English Poets, arguably the Magnum Opus of his career.
