Johnson, Samuel An Argument Proving That the Abrogation of King James, Etc.
London Printed For The Author 1692 1st Edition Hardcover Very Good No Jacket Book
Balance of title: "by the people of England from the regal throne and the promotion of The Prince of Orange, one of the Royal family, to the throne of the Kingdom in his stead was according to the constitution of the English government and prescribed by it." This is a slender little pamphlet reworked in neat pale green boards, boards measure 7 7/8 x 6 3/8". The Wing #821, placements, and SJ name are penciled lightly on first, replaced, endsheet. The grade above may be though of as a compromise between the newish boards and the aged text. The spine label is black leather with gilt and a hint of wear at its edges The reworking with beige pastedowns and endsheets is very nicely done and compliments the lightly age darkened but largely unfoxed text. After the title page, verso blank, the text commences at page 3 running thru 62 followed by a page advertisng Johnson's books, verso blank. Based purely on the appearance of text edges they may be as made, or perhaps, cropped in reworking. They have a uniform darkening seen edge on, which is not evident when the pages are looked at as though reading. The margins at fore-edge and bottom edge vary, but average 1"+. At top edge they commence at 1/16th" down from top to 3/8" at the last pages. Pages 21 and 22 have perhalps half of the marinalia (text edge printed noting) cropped at fore edge. Text itself is legible, trace waviness, microscopic dog ear, some larger corrected dog ear. very sharp looking. The books boards have an imperfection or two, tiny mark front, overall handsome. This is the writing "For which Johnson was badly beaten by hoodlums in his own home shortly after it's publication." The collector also includes the McAlpin citation 19.6 x 15.1 cm 62 (mispaged). The 62 appears to be another number overwritten, suspect the McAlpin gave incorrect page count as this item runs 62 properly paginated pages by my reckoning.

Johnson, Samuel Notes Upon the Phoenix Edition of The Pastoral Letter
London Printed for the Author. MDCXCIV 1694 1st Edition Hardcover Very Good+ No Jacket Book
This pamphlet matching Wing listing J835 has been reworked with tan pastedowns and endsheets into pale green hardcover boards, with spine labeled in what appears to be black leather with neat gilt lettering. The books boards measure a longish 7 3/4 x 6 1/2", text a trifle under 7 3/4 x 5 7/8, to gutters, collation is quarto. The grade above may be thought of as a compromise between the reworking and the age of the text. Paper very handsome, numbered to 110 pages followed by a page of advertisments for other Johnson writing, verso blank. It commences with an endsheet where the prior owner has penciled the Wing number and placements, this is followed by a 1/2 title page, verso a message from the House Of Commons re the legitimacy of William and Mary. Next is the title page (will try to shoot this for the books listing) verso blank, a one page note to 'Barons and Commons' verso blank, and a 2 page preface, text begins next at page 1. Pagination proceeds correctly thru page 110. The first page (half title) has a tiny penciled note and a notably smudged look. I have not attempted to erase due to fear of leaving a variegated appearance, similarly the last (blank page) has age darkening and the odd mark. Balance of text is really spendid, parchmentlike, slightly wavy, ultra legible. Not without foxing, but very minimally so, margins are a @ 1 inch at fore-edge, 3/8 inch+ at top/bottom. The appearance of the top and bottom edges is uniformly, mildly age darkened, the fore-edge a bit speckled. Boards are not newish but close, micro bump, clean.

Johnson, Samuel Remarks Upon Dr. Sherlock's Book, Etc.
London J. Humphries 1690 1st Edition Hardcover Very Good- No Jacket Book
Balance of title, "Intituled The Case Of Allegiance Due To Soveraign Princes, Stated and Resolved." Collectors notes read "Wing J840." Wing and McAlpin seem to reference a 2nd, Wing 841, I presume and also 1690. Originally done as pamphlet, quarto collation with first signature "b" page one after title apage verso blank, 34 pages plus restored end sheets. Boards maesure 8" X 6". Has been expertly laid into gray hard covers (our restorer assures me the glue is reversible) with black gilt lettered spine label. The title page and texts last page (and to a lesser degree the adjacent pages) have odd walnut colored smudges/stains. The balance of the text is minimally foxed and untrimmed, trace red edge stain.

Johnson, Samuel The Opinion is This: That Resistance May be Used,
London For J. Watts at the Angel in St. Pauls Churchyard 1689 Presume 1st Hardcover Very Good No Jacket Book
Balance of title, "That Resistance may be Used, in case our Religion and Rights should be Invaded." It seems possible that the title page is missing. Wing asserts that that item should give "for J. Watts 1689," and this information appears last page. The prior owner has penned Johnson's name, Wing #J836 , and the institutional placements, small, in pencil at the upper margin of page one. The item, a pamphlet placed in newish hardcovers measuring 8 x 6 3/8", begins at page 1 with title and text, concluding at page 11, verso blank. Two issues re text, the corner of the first page has a penned O circled upper corner, about postage stamp size. Also the number at the last pages top has been cropped, perhaps as made, perhaps in restoration. Page seems a bit off center in its original making. The text is legible but small print and wavy, scars and corrected dog ears are present. Much Latin is used. Boards are gray/black unbumped, not quite newish but handsome. As I did the research for these Johnson pieces I came upon a wonderful story where he spoke of the martyrdom of Chas. I. He spoke, scandalizing the courtiers by commenting at Whitehall that if Kings were accountable only to God, the rump Parliament did right in sending Charles I to him.
