Contemp. full calf, blind ruled & decorative borders, raised bands, compartment elaborately blocked in blind, Armorial emblem in gilt at head of spine; expert repair to hinges with (almost imperceptibly replaced) morocco label.

John Walker, 1732-1807, enjoyed an eclectic career as an actor, philologist, and lexicographer. Married to the comic actress Miss Myners, Walker earned some success on the stage working under Garrick in Drury Lane and later at the Covent Garden Theatre. On leaving the stage, he took up teaching and began lecturing on elocution, a role that drew the patronage and friendship of Samuel Johnson and Edmund Burke.

First published in 1791, Walker's Critical Pronouncing Dictionary was the standard work on English Orthoepy for almost a century. It was published in over 100 editions up until 1904 not withstanding the derivative publications it spawned. (O'Neill, p.364.) This edition published with the comprehensive rules of pronunciation (for Irish, Scottish and foreign readers as well as English), together with 'A key to the classical pronunciation of Greek, Latin, and scripture proper names.'. …
