Blake, 13, Bell Yard, Temple Bar, 1836 Description: 8vo, pp. viii, 744; engraved frontispiece; title and frontispiece a little spotted, else a very good, sound copy in 20th century tan cloth, black leather label on spine. Ownership signature of the Johnsonian, Gwin J. Kolb. For the first printing of 1621, see Printing and the Mind of Man 120: "The Anatomy ... was one of the most popular books of the 17th century. All the learning of the age as well as its humor - and its pedantry - are here. It has something in common with Brant's Ship of Fools, Erasmus's Praise of Folly, and More's Utopia, with Rabelais and Montaigne, and like all these it exercised a considerable influence on the thought of the time ... Dr. Johnson deeply admired it, and Charles Lamb's often and strongly expressed devotion served to rescue the Anatomy from a brief period of oblivion; its admirers will continue to read and re-read it." DNB says it is "one of the most famous books in literature."
