‎BOSWELL, James‎

‎The Life of Samuel Johnson‎

‎London: by Henry Baldwin for Charles Dilly 1791. One of Western literature's most germinal achievements First edition of the greatest biography in the English language. It was published in a run of 1750 copies on 16 May 1791 the 28th anniversary of Boswell's first meeting with Johnson. The immense task of compiling the thousands of notes Boswell had recorded on "the great man's talk habits and opinions" was begun after Johnson's death in 1784. Made up of trifling incidents as well as the significant events in Johnson's life the work sold 800 copies in the first two weeks of publication and remains a masterpiece of portraiture. "The Life of Johnson was no single book miraculously produced by an inexperienced author. It was the crowning achievement of an artist who for more than twenty-five years had been deliberately disciplining himself for such a task" Pottle p. xxi. "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" Macaulay. This copy has all the usual cancels and with one exception all the misprints as called for by Pottle; here vol. I p. 135 is in the second corrected state with "give" on line ten. Pottle rightly observes that "the booksellers have given this rather uninteresting 'point' more attention than it deserves. There are probably varying states of some of the other leaves" p. 151. As corrections were made in the press the misprints are variant states for individual sheets and do not indicate priority of issue for any copy. 2 vols quarto 273 x 192 mm. Stipple-engraved portrait frontispiece of Johnson by James Heath after Sir Joshua Reynolds and 2 engraved plates by H. Shepherd reproducing manuscripts in facsimile. Vol. II bound without original first blank. Mid 20th-century speckled calf to style for Brentano's smooth spines with two red labels central compartments stamped with gilt urn device within decorative border first and final compartments with gilt cross-hatch pattern triple gilt fillets on covers enclosing wide anthemion roll board edges and turn-ins decorated in gilt green endpapers edges gilt. Couple of scuffs and spots of rubbing to leather scattered light foxing to contents; vol. I p. 48 with neat correction to text by an early reader pp. 131-4 soiled; vol. II with tiny faint splash mark to title page margin. A very good copy attractively bound. Courtney 172; ESTC T64481; Grolier English 100 54; NCBEL II p. 1214; Pottle 79; Rothschild 463; Tinker 338. hardcover‎

‎Boswell, James; John Wilson Croker, editor‎

‎The Life of Samuel Johnson LL.D. including A Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides.‎

‎London: John Murray 1831. Octavo 23 cm; 5 volumes. Extra-illustrated with 197 give or take black-and-white engravings some folding and 16 color stipple engravings including portraits facsimiles scenes and a map. Handsomely re-cased in 20th-century tan buckram with leather labels on spines titled in gilt. Some offsetting onto text pages from opposing plates but otherwise the text is in excellent condition. <br /><br />Boswell's Life of Samuel Johnson is a book that names names. Johnson during his long life came into contact with virtually everyone in British society who left a footprint and Boswell names them all. John Wilson Croker's edition of Boswell's great biography-offered here in its initial printing-inspired something of a fashion for collectors to gather up printed portraits of the figures named in the biography and have them bound into their copies of Croker's Boswell opposite the pages where the figure is named or discussed. The majority of the portraits scenes facsimiles and maps in this copy date from the first quarter of the 19th century while a few were printed in the late 1700s and the most recent ones date from the 1840s. Celebrity portraits include those of Johnson Boswell Hester Lynch Piozzi Richardson Rousseau Sterne Catherine the Great Leibnitz Byron Swift Joseph Banks Voltaire Madame de Sévigné Captain Cook Thomas Gray John Donne Adam Smith Walter Scott Joseph Addison Thomas Brown Montaigne Drake Milton and many many many others.

Bookplates of Lord Rendelsham in each volume. "The text of the second edition . deserves a close study. 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. There were also many pleasant and characteristic sentences introduced in this edition which naturally dropped out when the text was shaken together by Malone" Pottle 81. Rothschild 468.
