Some light rubbing to boards contents with some occasional light toning and light spotting to endpapers overall a very good set. "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.

BOSWELL, James
The Life of Samuel Johnson Together with the Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides.
London: George Bell and Sons 1884. With autograph letters signed by Johnson and Boswell The unique "Monograph Copy" extra-illustrated with numerous additional plates and an extensive collection of autograph material including autograph letters signed by both Boswell and Johnson. The remaining items derive from an illustrious group of figures within the Johnsonian milieu many of whom feature in Boswell's narratives. This fine set offers a window onto the world Johnson inhabited. Johnson's letter is dated 29 July 1779. He notifies his physician Dr Lawrence that he has been detained in the country and must postpone their meeting. Boswell's which is undated proposes a day to "eat mutton" with Henry Sampson Woodfall 1739-1805 editor and printer of the Public Advertiser which published Boswell's work. These are tipped into the front of volume I alongside two other autograph items. The remaining volumes likewise contain autograph material from different individuals tipped into their fronts together with illuminated plates noting that the Société des Bibliophiles of New York specially bound and extra-illustrated the set. Correspondence from those with whom Johnson was personally and often closely acquainted includes social and professional letters from figures such as Hannah More 1745-1833 Richard Cumberland 1732-1811 Joseph Warton 1722-1800 and Samuel Parr 1747-1825. There is also a legal document signed by Johnson's defender Lord Thurlow 1731-1806. The collection also includes a receipt signed by John Horne Tooke 1736-1812 for a volume of his Diversions of Purley 1786 a philological work that publicly rivalled Johnson's Dictionary. This copy is number 39 of 104 sets. A full inventory of the autograph material is available on request. 15 vols large octavo 237 x 162 mm. Engraved frontispieces many plates with tissue guards. Contemporary brown-green morocco spines lettered in gilt compartments elaborately decorated with foliate design boards panelled in elaborate gilt light brown morocco onlay roundels gilt inner dentelles red morocco doublures with gilt fillets and green morocco onlay frame with gilt roll cream moiré silk flyleaves edges gilt white bookmarkers.

An excellent example of this landmark work. “Boswell excelled in insight into human nature and in ability to dramatize a situation… It was a crucial part of Boswell’s magic to give significance and vitality to the apparently trivial; it is this trait together with his notable accuracy and unparalleled completeness of portraiture that made him… ‘the Shakespeare of biographers†Baugh et al. 1065-66. "One of Western literature's most germinal achievements: unprecedented in its time in its depth of research and its extensive use of private correspondence and recorded conversation." Gordon Turnbull Oxford DNB. Printed by Henry Baldwin, for Charles Dilly, in The Poultry hardcover
