1 page. 1 vols. 8vo. Zustand: Fine. 1 page. 1 vols. 8vo. Johnson was Senator from Maryland 1845-49, Attorney-General 1849-1850. He represented the slave-owning defendant in case Dred Scott v. Sandford. He was personally opposed to slavery and helped keep Maryland in the Union. In 1868 he was appointed minister to the United Kingdom and soon after his arrival in England negotiated the Johnson-Clarendon Treaty for the settlement of disputes arising out of the Civil War; this, however, the Senate refused to ratify, and he returned home on the accession of General Ulysses S. Grant to the presidency.

Zustand: Very good. - Approximately 107 words penned on three sides of a sheet of creamy white paper folded in half to 8 inch highes by 5 inches wide. Dated September 14, 1864 from Saratoga Springs and signed "Reverdy Johnson". Folded three times horizontally for mailing. A piece has been cut out of the last page next to Johnson's signature. One can easily speculate that the recipient of the letter excised his own name for privacy reasons before disposing of the letter. Very good. Reverdy Johnson begins by responding to an apparent request for information regarding a previous appropriation. He suggests that "Dr. Stephenson [John G. Stephenson, the Librarian of Congress] will no doubt, if you request it, send you a copy." He then goes on to discuss the upcoming November 8 presidential election. "I sincerely hope for Gen'l McClellans Election, but I am not as confident of it, as some of his friends." He suggests that the incompetence of the Lincoln administration "will be hard to overcome." He concludes that the upcoming state elections "will go far to tell the result in advance." The powerful 19th century lawyer Reverdy Johnson (1796-1876) served as the US Attorney General (1849-1850) and twice as US Senator from Maryland (1845-49, 1863-68). He is remembered for his defense of the slave holder John Sandford in the Dred Scott case. He argued that slaves were private property that was protected by the Constitution. Reverdy Johnson had always been a foe of Lincoln and his administration. In the months leading up to Lincoln's reelection in 1864 he wrote a number of vitriolic letters attacking Lincoln. One of the letters was well publicized and drew an "Observers" response in the November 9, 1864 issue of the New York Times attacking the aristocracy of the Democratic party. "For forty years, what is called the Democratic Party of this country, has been engaged in a persistent effort to sustain an aristocracy. The Democratic Party allied itself to the Southern aristocracy, and maintained its supremacy by using the concentrated power (in electoral votes) of that aristocracy against Northern republicanism.".

Printed by W.M. Watts, London. 4to. 1,420 pp. Printed in triple columns. Title and final leaf with edge wear. Original half black calf, publisherâÂÂs cloth, five raised bands, blind-and gilt-stamped spine; extremities worn, with kozo repairs. Bookplate of the Gladstone Library âÂÂ" National Liberal Club, small rubber-stamps of the National Liberal Club (founded by Prime Minister William Gladstone in 1882). RARE. Second, vastly enlarged and revised edition âÂÂ" CONSIDERED THE BEST EDITION: originally the compilation of Meninski pioneered lexicography and Persian Farsi. His work was based upon native lexicons, and amplified and corrected from the same. This book of Johnson was at first a complete revision of John RichardsonâÂÂs dictionary, issued in Oxford, 1777-1780. It was revised and improved by Charles Wilkins, 1806-1810. Subsequently a new edition, considerably enlarged, by Johnson, was printed in 1829. SCHOLARS CONSIDER THIS 1852 BOOK SO IMPORTANT AND WITH SO MUCH NEW MATERIAL THAT IT IS A NEW BOOK. Regarding RichardsonâÂÂs folio Johnson offers the following comment, "It was inconvenient in size, bring printed in folio, with an ungraceful oriental type, and it was very defective in its stock and choice of words. It was little else than an abridgement of the Oriental Thesaurus of MENINSKI, printed in four folio volumes at Vienna in 1680, effected by omitting the Turkish words incorporated in that collection, and by putting together words of similar sound, but of different significations, and sometimes of different etymology . . . Richardson made some additions to his text, chiefly from the lexicons of GOLIUS and CASTELLUS. . ." At least one other issue is touched on: that of price âÂÂ" the new edition was produced at a third of the price of RichardsonâÂÂs treatise. He compliments the press of Watts, responsible for this edition. "The [dictionary] by Mr. Richardson and Sir Charles Wilkins, is the acknowledged groundwork of the authorâÂÂs labours." "JOHNSON, FRANCIS (1796?âÂÂ"1876), orientalist, spent much time in early manhood in Italy, where he applied himself to the study of oriental languages, and learned Arabic from an Arab. In March 1818 he left Rome in company with Charles (afterwards Sir Charles) Barry, Charles (afterwards Sir Charles) Lock Eastlake, and Kinnaird, an architect, for Athens. After studying antiquities there till June, Johnson and Barry travelled overland to Constantinople, but they parted in August, Johnson returning to Italy, while Barry pursued his travels in Egypt (Lady Eastlake, Memoir of C. L. Eastlake, p. 72; Barry, Sir Charles Barry, pp. 25 sq.). In 1824 Johnson was appointed to the chair of Sanskrit, Bengali, and Telugu in the East India CompanyâÂÂs college at Haileybury. He resigned his chair in 1855, was married in 1857, and died at Hertford on 29 Jan. 1876. "THE GREAT WORK OF JOHNSONâÂÂS LIFE WAS HIS âÂÂPERSIAN DICTIONARY." On its first publication in 1829 it was described as the third edition of RichardsonâÂÂs dictionary. It contained, however, much original matter, especially in respect of the Arabic element in Persian. In 1852 Johnson published a revised and much extended edition under his own name alone. This work is by far the most important contribution to Persian lexicography in any European language. Compound words are treated with especial completeness. Johnson also edited the âÂÂGulist?nâ of SaâÂÂdi (1863), while in Sanskrit he re-edited, with the addition of a vocabulary and a collation of new manuscripts, H. H. WilsonâÂÂs text and translation of the âÂÂMeghad?taâ (1867). His well-known selections from the âÂÂMah?bh?rataâ (1842) and his âÂÂHitopade?a,â London, 1840, 4to (subsequent editions 1847, 1848, and 1864), have long proved very useful to English beginners in the study of Sanskrit." âÂÂ" [Hertfordshire Mercury, 12 Feb. 1876; Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society, new ser. vol. ix., Report for 1876; JohnsonâÂÂs Works.]. DNB âÂÂ" 1885-1900, Volume 30. For a dialog on some other titles written by Johnson, see: Raja Lahiani, Eastern Luminaries Disclosed to Western Eyes: A Critical . âÂÂ" (2008), page 51.
