I of Johnson by J. Heath after Joshua Reynolds; with two facsimile plates one showing Johnson's handwriting; minimal rubbing to hinges of spines; internally clean; a very good set. First edition second issue with the 'give' printed on p. 135.Widely praised since its publication Boswell's The Life of Samuel Johnson provides an entertaining in-depth account of Johnson based on material kept in Boswell's diaries. Extensive in both size and subject this work provides intricate details about arguably one of the most important literary figures of the eighteenth century.Boswell's biography is a meticulously detailed account of Johnson's life beginning with his early years and tracing his journey through the intellectual and literary circles of the time. It explores Johnson's upbringing his struggles with poverty and his remarkable literary achievements. Boswell's narrative is peppered with direct quotations from Johnson and their conversations allowing readers to not only understand Johnson's life but to hear his unique voice and wit. The work provides a glimpse into Johnson's relationships with other notable figures of his time including the likes of Joshua Reynolds and Edmund Burke further enriching the historical and cultural context of the narrative.This work offers valuable insights into eighteenth-century England its intellectual and social life and the burgeoning literary scene giving readers a deeper understanding of the historical context in which Johnson lived and worked. Additionally Boswell's approach to biography which combines personal observation interviews and correspondence has had a profound influence on the way biographies are written becoming a standard practice in the genre. It also serves as a historical and cultural document offering a window into eighteenth-century England the emergence of modern literary criticism and the challenges faced by writers of the time. This work continues to be a cornerstone in the world of biography and literature and its cultural significance endures through the ages and without it our contemporary understanding of the character of Johnson would be far less detailed.ESTC T64481 hardcover‎

‎<p>London: Printed by Henry Baldwin for Charles Dilly 1791 and 1793. "The Life": first edition. Two Volumes. 4to 272x210mm. pp. xii 16 516: 2 588 i.e. 586; 2 1-42. In volume I duplicates of pp153-56 and pp. 157-60 are bound between pp146-47 and pp150-51 respectively but it is complete. The scarce "Corrections and Additions" are bound in at the end of volume II. Engraved frontispiece portrait by J. Heath from Reynolds's portrait. Two plates with facsimiles of Johnson's handwriting in volume II between pp92-3 and after final page. "give" is correctly spelt at line 10 of p135 of volume I but other misprints usually attributed to the first issue are uncorrected so this is a mixed first and second issue. However the better i.e. Pottle's view is that the misprints or corrections simply reflect the states for individual sheets and one cannot from these assert an issue priority for any copy as a whole. The folding map of Scotland from the Tour of the Hebrides has been bound into volume I. Front pastedown of both volumes has book labels of James Mill London not that Mill sadly B. and M. Leslie and the ownership inscription of J. Innes. Bound in contemporary speckled calf flat spine with black morocco label lettered in gilt joints strengthened. Some slight scratching to the covers. Housed in brown cloth covered box with a little rubbing and scuffing to the extremities. Internally there is a little foxing in places but otherwise this is a very good copy of perhaps the most celebrated biography in English. Macaulay famously described Boswell as "the first of biographers" pre-eminent in his field as Homer Shakespeare and Demosthenes are in theirs. Indeed. That Johnson his own works so rarely read now has such a vivid place in our minds is due entirely to this brilliant work.</p> London: Printed by Henry Baldwin, for Charles Dilly 1791 and 1793. hardcover‎

Although we believe that the third represents the form in which Boswell would ultimately have arranged the supplementary material we can never be sure of it for this edition was the last actually published in his lifetime.
