London: J Darby, 1728. Leather. Very Good Indeed. 8" by 5". None. An uncommon fourth edition of Nathan Bailey's popular eighteenth century dictionary. With the armorial bookplate of the 'Right Honourable the Lord Viscount Lymington' to the front pastedown. Viscount Lymington was the title held by John Wallop, the 2nd Earl of Portsmouth.  In a contemporary panelled calf binding with a 'I' to the spine, implying that this work was once bound alongside the separate supplementary volume which was first issued in 1727. This volume is complete in itself. ESTC reference no: The ODNB notes that Bailey's English dictionaries gave prominence to etymology and to lexical comprehensiveness, including dialect terms, scientific terms, common words and even vulgar ones. This dictionary was first published in 1721 and was the most popular English dictionary of its century running to its twentieth edition by 1763. Early editions are still rather uncommon. In a full panelled calf binding. Externally, generally smart. Light rubbing to head and tail of spine as well as to the extremities. Minor bumping to the extremities. Bookplate to the front pastedown. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are generally bright. Occasional light spots to pages. Very Good Indeed, J Darby, 1728, 3<
