- The works of the most celebrated minor poets. Namely, Wentworth, Earl of Roscommon; Charles, Earl of Dorset; Charles, Earl of Halifax; Sir Samuel Garth; George Stepney, Esq; William Walsh, Esq; Thomas Tickell, Esq. Never before collected and publish'd together. In two volumes. 1749 MDCCXLIX. [London : Printed for F. Cogan....] [BKG Note: per Reddick, in The making of Johnson's Dictionary (204), the copy marked by SJ was in the Hyde Collection, presumably now at Harvard. J.D. Fleeman, in Appendix II item 13 in The Sale Catalogue of Samuel Johnson's Library, A Facsimile Edition, 1975, U. of Victoria, (pp. 110-111) indicates that this copy may be only Vol. 1, and only annotated by SJ for Garth, and not the other poets. The 1959 Pierpont Morgan Library Samuel Johnson exhibition, item 113, also says this is only Vol. 1, but says Dorset and Halifax were also annotated in this volume.]
