- John Lempriere was born in 1765 in Jersey, England, in a
family with a long and prominent local history. His father Charles sent him in 1779 to Winchester, one of England’s finest schools. After completing his studies there in 1784, when he was nineteen, Lempriere, transferred to Pembroke College at Oxford, where he received all his subsequent literary and religious degrees, including a BA in 1790 and a DD in 1803. Pembroke had been the academic home of Samuel Johnson (1709–1784), who may well have served as Lempriere’s lexicographic inspiration.

Lempriere's Classical Dictionary di J. Lempriere
Not to be confused with the 1991 novel that is, unfortunately, the first Google hit for "Lempriere's Dictionary."
Don't actually want this edition but the original. Might be a long time wishing and searching.
