Cloth, small 8vo, 23 cm, viii, 278 pp. From the blurb: "By 1700, France and Italy already had dictionaries of their own, and it became a matter of national pride that England should rival them. Dr Johnson rose to the challenge, turning over the garret of his London home to the creation of his Dictionary, and proclaiming his intention to 'fix the English language' once and for all. Dr Johnson imagined this task would take three years. Eight years later his Dictionary was finally published, full of idiosyncrasies, but complete nevertheless. It would become the most important cultural monument of the eighteenth century. This is the story of Johnson's attempt to define each and every word. In wonderfully engaging chapters, from A to Z, Henry Hitchings describes Johnson's adventure - his ambition and vision, his moments of despair, the mistakes he made along the way and his ultimate triumph. It is a brilliantly entertaining and enlightening read. " Very Good in Very Good dustwrapper.…

Cloth, 4to, 25 cm, xvi, 329 pp, ills, (some colour), maps. "When The World of the Ancient Maya was published in 1981 it immediately established itself as the best available guide to the rich and extraordinary Maya culture. Comprehensive, readable, concise, it was greeted as a wonderfully accomplished work. Now it is re-published with a completely revised text taking account of the mass of new information that recent research has made available. It also includes a wealth of new illustrations in colour and black - and - white. Henderson explores the ancient Maya from the earliest traces of settlement to the Spanish conquest of Central America in the sixteenth century. They were the only fully literate pre-columbian people in the Americas, and their texts are deciphered here to reconstruct their ways of life. Superb scientists, they developed highly sophisticated mathematics and an intricate and accurate calendar system. Theirs was one of the few complex societies to emerge in the tropical forest and adapt successfully to living there. Their architecture, sculpture and painting were compellingly beautiful. Henderson covers the full range of Maya culture, including religion and philosophy, and he also explores the interaction between different Maya societies, since they varied culturally according to their exact environment." - from the blurb.

Later library cloth with contrasting spine-panel, 8vo, viii, 355 pp, plates. From the preface: "The appearance of the definitive Bonchurch Edition of Swinburne's Works (London: William Heinemann, Ltd.; New York: Gabriel Wells) makes this an appropriate time to publish a new estimate of the poet's genius and achievement. The present study dates, however, in its original form from more than a decade ago. It was set aside deliberately to await the publication, long announced, of the definitive edition; and consequently, while I have, I hope, profited by the various estimates that have appeared in recent years, my impressions and opinions were formed independently of all critical studies of later date than Sir Edmund Gosse's biography, the primary source of information on the poet's life and character. That I have devoted so much space to the tragedies and prose writings is due to the fact that heretofore these departments of Swinburne's work have been very strictly subordinated by critics to his lyrical, meditative and narrative verse. The chief emphasis remains, however, and must always remain upon Swinburne, the lyric poet."
