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.

Boswell, James
The life of Samuel Johnson LL.D. including a journal of his tour to the Hebrides . A new edition. With numerous additions and notes by John Wilson Croker LL.D. F.R.S.
London: John Murray 1831. First Crocker edition 5 volumes 8vo each volume with engraved frontispiece plus the round-robin plate and a map of the Hebrides; contemporary half tan calf over marbled boards maroon and brown morocco labels on gilt-decorated spines; light wear to extremities upper joint of vol. 1 rubbed but firm lower corner of vol. 3 bumped a near fine copy. This edition still stands as a monument of Johnsonian scholarship; but it was badly edited and much famously condemned by Macaulay. Seeing the problem Murray hastily engaged Wright to do a make-over and republished it in 1835. Pottle 91: The publication of this remarkable edition opens an entirely new era in the history of Boswell's book. John Murray unknown

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.

LL.D. comprehending an account of his studies and numerous works in chronological order; a series of his epistolary correspondence and conversations with many eminent persons; and various original pieces of his composition never before published. The whole exhibiting a view of literature and literary men in Great Britain.
London: Henry Baldwin for Charles Dilly 1791. First edition the so-called second state with "give" reading on p. 135 in vol. I 2 volumes 4to pp. xii 16 516; 2 588; engraved portrait frontispiece by Heath after Joshua Reynolds and with the Round Robin plate and the plate showing facsimile signatures of Johnson; nice copy in contemporary full calf neatly and pleasingly rebacked sometime in the 20th century preserving the old red and black morocco labels on spine; all the standard cancels are present per Pottle. Regarding the "give" versus "gve" reading Pottle notes that the "booksellers have given this rather uninteresting 'point' more attention than it deserves." Celebrated for its intimacy and vividness Boswell's Life of Johnson "is one of the best books in the world. It is assuredly a great very great work. Homer is not more decidedly the first of the heroic poets Shakespeare is not more decidedly the first of the dramatists Demosthenes is not more decidedly the first of the orators than Boswell is the first of biographers" Macaulay.

The Editor after preparing this volume for the press feels more than ever satisfied as to the arrangement ultimately adopted with respect to the scattered JOHNSONIANA of Boswell's friends and rivals. In the notes to the preceding volumes he has presented all those short passages of other writers which seemed to bear decidedly on the statements in Boswell's text: in the 9th and 10th volume the reader has presented to him a mass of miscellaneous Anecdotes and Sayings gathered from nearly a hundred different publications; which could not have been produced as notes to Boswell without overloading and perplexing his pages but which are essential to the completion of the intellectual portrait of Johnson. Johnsoniana by Hawkins Piozzi Murphy Tyers Reynolds Malone Nichols Steevens Cumberland and others. Biography History::Britain 6323 6323 Henry G. Bohn hardcover

Boswell, James
The Life of Johnson.
London: Printed by Henry Baldwin for Charles Dilly in The Poultry 1791.

Quarto bound in contemporary half calf over marbled boards. Frontispiece portrait of Samuel Johnson engraved by J. Heath after the Sir Joshua Reynolds 1756 painting. Volume one is the first state with the word “give†reading on page 135 line 10. First state of volume two with two engraved illustrations “The Round Robin†at p. 92 and the “facsimiles†of Dr. Johnson's handwriting on p. 588. In near fine condition with light toning 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
