‎AN ACCOUNT OF CORSICA The Journal of a Tour to that Island; and Memoirs of Pascal Paoli‎

‎Glasgow: By Robert and Andrew Foulis for Edward and Charles Dilly In the Poultry. 1768. Rare First Edition First State of James Boswell's first important book. A copy with excellent provenance the Rokeby Park John Bacon Sawrey Morritt original bookplate is present as well as the bookplate of Giannalisa Feltrinelli. This copy also in Rothschild's first state with the words "John Home" incorrectly placed following the first quotation on p. 51; E2 and Z3 are cancels with "Mariani" spelled correctly line 24 p. 357. The additional misprints cited by Pottle are also present: "141" for "241" in the table of contents; broken "E" in "Etruscans" on p. 70 line 17; "feelirg" on p. 137 line 11; "tha the" on p. 172 line 9; "Montgomer˙" on p. 184 line 4; "speculati-ions" on p. 327 lines 9-10. Pages 93 and 296 are correctly printed the last words of line 6 p.93 are "prince of" and of line 18 p.296 "of my own". "Illustrated with a new and accurate map of Corsica." This being an exceptionally well detailed and attractive large folding engraved map bound at the front. With half-title which is frequently lacking title-page with engraved vignette featuring the arms of Corsica. 8vo 205 x 120 mm. in full contemporary calf the spine with simple gilt ruled raised bands one compartment with brown morocco label gilt lettered the boards framed with gilt double-rules board edges hatched in blind xxiii 384pp. A fine copy of the text especially fresh and clean a strong impression unpressed and very sturdy and tight a bit of offset on the final leaf and half-title and a bit from the map to the titlepage the binding handsome and firm but with a bit of minor wear or rubbing along the tips and shoulders. The folding map is in a fine state of preservation unusually so. THE FIRST PRINTING OF BOSWELL'S FIRST SIGNIFICANT WORK ONE WHICH WOULD HELP LAUNCH HIS FAME AS ONE OF THE FINEST MEN OF LETTERS OF HIS AGE. This first edition was an immediate success and sold out within six weeks.<br> Boswell supported the Corsican struggle to become an independent nation and considered himself one of the island's chief sponsors. "Following the island's invasion by France in 1768 Boswell attempted to raise public awareness and rally support for the Corsicans. He sent arms and money to the Corsican fighters and made an arduous and dangerous journey to Corsica to meet General Pasquale Paoli leader of the insurgents seeking the island's independence from the Genoese. Paoli at first suspected Boswell was a spy but quickly came to like his improbable young visitor saw an opportunity for promotion of the Corsican cause in Britain and consented to a series of interviews" - Pierce<br> The text includes Boswell's keen observations on many topics including military matters and arms commerce government and religion. It also includes many accounts of his own experiences.<br> Boswell was rightfully very proud of this work. Within his lifetime it went through many many editions. Within just a short time of its original appearance it had been translated into Dutch Italian German and French; and sold as well abroad as it did in Britain. It was in fact a most remarkable success and the first step towards one of the most distinguished literary careers of the age.<br> Concerning the provenance Rokeby Park is well known as the original English home in the painting "The Toilet of Venus" by Diego Velázquez. The painting is now referred to as The Rokeby Venus". It now hangs in the National Gallery London and a copy hangs in the saloon at Rokeby Park. Sir Walter Scott was a regular visitor to the house and he used it as the setting for his narrative poem Rokeby in 1812.<br> The building is also of interest in its own right. Completed in 1735 and known at the time as Rokeby Hall by Sir Thomas Robinson it is considered a fine example of the Italianate Palladian style. Robinson owned it until 1769 when he sold it to J.S. Morritt whose bookplate adorns the initial pastedown. The magnificent library of Giannalisa Feltrinelli was sold in 1997 at auction. This fine example was selected for one of the most important libraries in Europe. By Robert and Andrew Foulis for Edward and Charles Dilly In the Poultry. hardcover‎

‎BOSWELL'S LIFE OF JOHNSON Including Boswell's Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides and Johnson's Diary of a Journey into North Wales. Edited by George Birkbeck Hill D.C.L. Pembroke College Oxford‎

‎Oxford: At the Clarendon Press 1887. 6 volumes. First of the Edition. With fourteen engraved illustrations including a number of portraits of Johnson from Sir Joshua Reynolds' paintings from Opie's portrait and many facsimiles of Johnson's handwriting the Round Robin plate a map of johnson and Boswell's tour through the Hebrides and a chart of Johnson's contemporaries. 8vo handsomely bound in contemporary three-quarter morocco over marbled paper covered boards the spines with raised bands two compartments lettered in gilt marbled endleaves to match top edges gilt. xxvii 1 errata 522; 480; vi 464; vi 446; viii 460; lxxivii 324 pp. A very well preserved and handsome set the bindings are tight and show only minor age or evidence of use with a little rubbing and evidence of shelving Volume I has been rehinged the text-blocks and plates are all in excellent condition the spine panels as usual with green morocco or calf bindings have mellowed a bit to a honey-brown. FIRST EDITION OF THIS FINE CLARENDON PRESS EDITION OF BOSWELL'S LIFE OF JOHNSON AND OTHER WORKS. Celebrated for its intimacy and vividness Boswell's Life of Johnson "is one of the best books in the world. It is assuredly a great very great work. Homer is not more decidedly the first of heroic Poets--Shakespeare is not more decidedly the first of Dramatists--Demosthenes is not more decidedly the first of Orators than Boswell is the first of Biographers." Macauley in the Edinburgh Review 1831. Boswell learned a great deal about the art of biography from his subject and brought to his task boundless curiosity persistence and zest.<br> Boswell had been collecting material for this work since his first interview with Johnson in 1763 and was confident that his kind of biography "which gives not only a History of Johnson's visible progress through the world and of his publications but a view of his mind in his letters and conversations is the most perfect that can be conceived and will be more of a Life than any work that has ever yet appeared." He said too that: “A sanction to my faculty of giving a just representation of Dr. Johnson I could not conceal. Nor will I suppress my satisfaction in the consciousness that by recording so considerable a portion of the wit and wisdom of the brightest ornament of the eigteenth century I have largely provided for the instruction and entertainment of mankind.†If Boswell does indulge in a little harmless flattery to himself the concluding words of his preface are literally true for Boswell’s Johnson as much as any other book “has largely provided for the instruction and entertainment of mankind.â€<br> The Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides is the famous account of Boswell and Johnson’s tour to the North in 1773 including some original poems by Johnson never before published and numerous “literary anecdotes and opinions of men and books.†This tour proved to be inspirational for both men; Johnson published A JOURNEY TO THE WESTERN ISLANDS OF SCOTLAND in 1775 and Boswell in addition to this work used his notes from the tour extensively in his LIFE OF JOHNSON published in 1791.<br> Volume VI is a very extensive study of the works of Johnson including a diagram of his contemporaries a significant section on the Titles of Works Quoted in the Notes an Addenda of Autograph Letters and etc. and a very extensive indes and Dicta Philosophi.

A VERY HANDSOME COPY OF TWO OF THE GREAT BOOKS OF THE AGE. Celebrated for its intimacy and vividness Boswell's Life of Johnson "is one of the best books in the world. It is assuredly a great very great work. Homer is not more decidedly the first of heroic Poets--Shakespeare is not more decidedly the first of Dramatists--Demosthenes is not more decidedly the first of Orators than Boswell is the first of Biographers." Macauley in the Edinburgh Review 1831. Boswell learned a great deal about the art of biography from his subject and brought to his task boundless curiosity persistence and zest.<br> The tour proved to be inspirational for both men. Johnson published A JOURNEY TO THE WESTERN ISLANDS OF SCOTLAND in 1775 and Boswell in addition to this work used his notes from the tour extensively in his LIFE OF JOHNSON published in 1791. "As a narrative of personal adventures Boswell's account is to be preferred to Johnson's. Naturally such a work as was true of everything concerning Dr. Johnson aroused great interest which was heightened by Boswell's frankness in expressing opinions about his hosts as well as by his naiveté in relating incidents that did not reflect credit to himself" Cox.<br> This is a very handsomely bound and readable copy of these two masterworks and includes important contributions Mr. Malone's and Mr. Boswell's advertisements as well as a significant number of the Thrale letters and others.

Boswell was and remains a divisive personality even for modern readers who find the fluent precise demotic prose of the journals compelling: an unstable amalgam of vibrant self-advertising vanity and self-tortured insecurity; an able but reluctant Edinburgh lawyer who marred his chances for judicial promotion with over-zealous and occasionally frenetic defences of poor criminal clients with whom he felt a particular sympathy; a loving but erratic husband; a lenient beloved but overburdened father; a kind and improvement-oriented lowland laird who longed for life in London; a sentimental Jacobite who developed an extraordinary veneration for George III. <br/> <br/> Charles Dilly hardcover‎
