"This edition in four volumes large octavo is the most beautiful that has yet appeared. The editor was Francis Pearson Walesby 1798-1858 Fellow of Lincoln College and afterwards 1829-34 Professor of Anglo-Saxon at Oxford who in the previous year had edited the edition of Johnson's works in the Oxford English Classics with which this edition of the Life is uniform This is the first edition of the Life to include a portrait of Boswell as a frontispiece" Pottle. The Life of Samuel Johnson LL.D. first published in 1791 by James Boswell is a biography of English writer Dr. Samuel Johnson. Boswell's personal acquaintance with his subject began in 1763 when Johnson was 54 years old and Boswell covered the entirety of Johnson's life by means of additional research. The work was from the beginning a critical and popular success and represents a landmark in the development of the modern genre of biography and many have called it the greatest biography written in English.
