"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."

Among the monumental biographies this ranks high. None has been written more in friendship and admiration. Yet his admiration never prevented James Boswell from seeing Johnson as a complete personality a three-dimensional figure. If Johnson blusters we have it here or if he loses his temper or cajoles or gets the worst of an evil bargain. Here it may be accurately stated is "the spitting image" here is the man strutting into your life and sinking haeavily into your biggest chair to regale and revile you. Doubleday hardcover‎

‎THE LIFE OF SAMUEL JOHNSON LL.D. including a Journal of his Tour to the Hebrides To Which Are Added Anecdotes by Hawkins Piozzi Murphy Tyers Reynolds Steevens &c. and Notes by Various Hands‎

‎London: John Murray 1835. Complete in ten volumes. The second Croker edition. The first 8 volumes are 1835 printings; volumes 9 and ten are from 1839. The ten volumes are uniformly bound in a contemporary full light brown leather. In 1831 Murray published a 5-volume edition that included for the first time the additions and notes of Coker. The poorly edited edition was panned by critics notably Macaulay; so the publisher rushed to re-edit the text and published this set in 1835 and 1839. The second edition not only was better edited but it also contained additional illustrations not found in the first edition. The attractive set is in about very good condition: each volume is clean and tight with some edgewear; most volumes have waterstains on covers--see the attached images for an example of the typical stain. The second Croker Edition. Hardcover. Very Good-. 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall. Book. John Murray Hardcover‎

John Wilson Croker 1780-1857 was a British statesman and author. He was educated at Trinity College Dublin where he graduated in 1800. Immediately afterwards he entered Lincoln's Inn and in 1802 he was called to the Irish bar. His interest in the French Revolution led him to collect a large number of valuable documents on the subject now in the British Museum. In 1809 Croker was appointed as secretary to the Admiralty. Many of his political speeches were published in pamphlet form. He was for many years one of the leading contributors on literary and historical subjects to the Quarterly Review with which he had been associated from its foundation. The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography comments that "He had a wide appreciation of all varieties of literature and art which made him a valuable intermediary between the politicians and the public and he was an able writer lucid fluent and always well informed." "In 1831 Croker published a new edition of Boswell's Life of Johnson including the Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides which was vindictively attacked by Macaulay in the Edinburgh Review but which remained the best edition until superseded by the work of George Birkbeck Hill" - DNB.
