Samuel Johnson - The Rambler - 1779

"The Rambler" by Samuel Johnson, published in 1779, is a literary masterpiece that spans four volumes, each elegantly bound in full leather. This complete set showcases the brilliance of Johnson's essays, which originally appeared as a series in the London Magazine between 1750 and 1752. Known for his profound insights and wit, Johnson's "Rambler" engages readers with a diverse range of topics, including morality, society, and human nature. The enduring appeal of these essays lies in Johnson's ability to blend intellectual depth with captivating prose. This collection stands as a timeless exploration of the human condition, presented in a beautifully crafted and preserved edition with its luxurious full leather bindings. The book is in good condition, given its 245-year age. However, the covers do exhibit wear as shown in the photos. Also, the pages show foxing and discolouration. Also, there is a rip in Vol 3 Page 303 as shown in the photos. Shipped from Edinburgh (UK)
