First Edition. This is one of the earliest books with biographical references to William Blake. According to G. E. Bentley in BLAKE BOOKS, there are discussions of William Blake (e.g. "an eccentric and very ingenious artist") under William Hayley, W. Blake, and William Blake, the bibliography from the last of which is reprinted in Watt (no. 533). Although the BIOGRAPHICAL DICTIONARY was published anonymously, Bentley reports that Watkins compiled A-K and from there on by Shoberl [citing B. Corney "a persuasive witness" in NOTES & QUERIES XI (1855), 34]. Full title: "A Biographical Dictionary of the Living Authors of Great Britain and Ireland, Comprising Literary Memoirs and Anecdotes of Their Lives, and a Chronological Register of Their Publications, With the Number of Editions Printed, Including Notices of Some Foreign Writers Whose Works Have Been Occasionally Published in England, Illustrated by a Variety of Communications from Persons of the First Eminence in the World of Letters."

"The first edition of a useful chemical dictionary. Preference was shown for the new chemistry but phlogistic alternatives are also presented. The new chemical nomenclature was not used but was discussed and a translation of the 1787 table was included." â" Cole. / "The first dictionary of chemistry by an Englishman, superseding the English translation of Macquer's Dictionary (London, 1771) by the Scot James Keir. Although preferring the antiphlogistic chemistry of Lavoisier, Nicholson also present the phlogistic alternative. This work is important for containing one of the earliest English versions of the table of the new chemical nomenclature from the Methode de nomenclature chimique (Paris, 1787) by Lavoisier et.al." â" Neville. / Two of the plates are of furnaces and apparatus; plates III & IV are each double-page and show chemical signs: Hassenfratz-Adet, "ancient" and Bergman. "Despite the note on p. [1111 â" instruction to binder] stating that there are five plates no copy seen or heard of has more than four.

Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Two volumes, each inscribed by the author. Stated First edition, first printings, March 1989. Velo-bound. A couple small spots of tea splash on fore-edge of one volume, else clean and unmarked. Approximately 500 & 300 leaves, printed on rectos only. 11 x 8.5 inches. Three copies noted on OCLC (Wheaton, Marquette, Bowling Green). Inscribed by Paul Nolan Hyde on preface pages, ''Bruce / I hope these / benefit you. I think / now you have everything I / do that is in print. It is a / bit overwhelming, but perhaps / useful after all. / [signature]'' and ''Bruce, / I think that / your enthusiasm for Tolkien's / linguistics may have overcome / you. It is not a totally unpleasant / disease. / [signature].'' Hyde's reverse dictionary of Tolkien's Middle-earth languages, like his seven-volume A Working Tolkien Glossary that consisted of four copies, is also presumed to have been produced in an extremely small number of copies. The first volume of this reverse dictionary consists of an alphabetical listing of reverse-spelled morphological elements in the languages of Middle-earth, together with volume and page number where related information (such as language, part of speech, translation) is documented, in the following works of J.R.R. Tolkien: The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales, The Book of Lost Tales, The Lays of Beleriand, The Shaping of Middle-earth, The Lost Road, The Return of the Shadow, The Road goes Ever On, The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien, The Monsters and the Critics, and ''Guide to Names'' in A Tolkien Compass. The second volume, which does not include meanings, is an alphabetical listing of reverse-spelled morphological elements in the languages of Middle-earth together with volume, page number, and the original entry (without other linguistic information) in the works of Tolkien as previously noted. Paul Nolan Hyde (1942-2021) was a professor of linguistics at Brigham Young University and a specialist in the Tolkien Legendarium. He authored Quenti Lambardillion, the Middle-earth linguistics column in the journal Mythlore between 1982 and 1992, and also contributed to Vinyar Tengwar, the journal of the Elvish Linguistic Fellowship. Tolkien's linguistics served as the subject of both his Ph.D. dissertation and his master's thesis: the 1200-page ''Linguistic Techniques Used in Character Development in the Works of J. R. R. Tolkien'' (Purdue, 1982) and ''A Descriptive Analysis of the Languages Used in J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings'' (BYU, 1972). Signed by Author(s).

First edition, 8vo, pp. viii, 449, [1]; 20th-century tan cloth-backed green cloth over boards, morocco label lettered in gilt on spine; slight toning of the text but in all, a very good, sound copy. OCLC provides this note: "Mr. [Frederic] Shoberl proceeded to assure me, in the presence of his son, that the work was written by [John] Watkins as far as the letter F -- that some dispute with the publishers then arose -- that the materials were therefore handed over to himself -- and that he completed the work as it now appears."--Bolton Corney, in Notes & Queries, 1st ser., v. 11 (1855) p. 34. The work is sometimes attributed to William Upcott. The Blake people seem to love this book as an early reference to him, but the reference, in which he is described as "an eccentric but very ingenious artist," is but 14 lines long in one (of 2 columns) and in 8-point type.
