Item description from seller

Unnumbered pagination (xii), a - Cccccc2. 8vo in 4s. Modern full calf, new endpapers. Printed in double columns, title slightly browned, some staining to top and centre of first few gathering. 1st edition of Bailey's Dictionary which went into many editions and preceeded Johnson's by 34 years. With the bookplate of John P. Bennett FRCS. (1939 - 2018). Bennett was a plastic surgeon but he also studied bookbinding and I would suggest that this is one of his bindings. He was a Member of the Society of Bookbinders, an associate member of Designer Bookbinders and a life member of the Bibliographical Society. An interesting association copy.
