APPENDIX An Account of the Sale Catalogue T HE following is a partial rearrangement of the Sale Catalogue of Dr. Johnson's library published after his death and reprinted by the Johnson Club of London, a copy of which is deposited in the Harvard University Library. In the second volume of his Eighteenth-Century Vignettes, Mr. Austin Dobson has already given a charming account of the nature and condition of the Doctor's library. My purpose is to give, so far as possible, in a series of tables, the various kinds of works the library contained. Unfortunately, not more than seven hundred and fifty of more than five thousand volumes have been named in the list. It is to be inferred, therefore, that in certain lines many more titles than are given should be included, for example, in French literature, in history, and in biography. I have thought it unnecessary to include in my catalogue the very, many titles in science, in law, in medicine, in religion, and in philosophy. A copy of Boethius (295), published in 1491, the oldest volume in the library, should, however, be mentioned. Many other titles from the famous presses of the following century may be found among the books listed.
