Full purple morocco covers elaborately tooled in gilt in a geometric pattern. Boards have light wear present to the extremities of the boards. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. In Boswell's Life of Samuel Johnson one of the towering figures of English literature is revealed with unparalleled immediacy and originality in a biography to which we owe much of our knowledge of the man himself. Through a series of richly detailed anecdotes Johnson emerges as a sociable figure vigorously engaging and fencing with great contemporaries such as Garrick Goldsmith Burney and Burke and of course with Boswell himself. Yet anxieties and obsessions also darkened Johnson's private hours and Boswell's attentiveness to every facet of Johnson's character makes this biography as moving as it is entertaining.

Shepherd. An extraordinary copy in contemporary half calf and the original publisher’s boards and with the edges of the paper all uncut to the extent that it is an exceptional tall copy almost a large paper copy morocco spine labels. Hinges cracked scattered foxing a few trifling stains boards somewhat worn and fragile preserved in a brown cloth chemise and half morocco slipcase. Booklabels of W. Strong 1p. ALS from J. Parsons to him laid in and ink signature of J. Robinson in Volume I. Accompanied by The London Chronicle No. 5414 for May 5 1791 which prints an advertisement for the book.W. Strong is addressed in the letter as Rev.d Archdeacon Strong – he has used the blank page of the letter to make notes on volume II of the book and has added some notes on the front pastedown and on another small sheet which is inserted loose.<br>‘Boswell's<em> </em>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 Heroic Poets - Shakespeare is not more decidedly the first of Orators than Boswell is the first of Biographers. We are not sure that there is in the whole history of the human intellect so singular a phenomenon as this book. Many of the greatest men that ever lived have written biography; Boswell was one of the smallest men that ever lived and he has beaten them all’ Macaulay in the Edinburgh Review 1831 ap. Allibone.<br>W. Jackson Bate Johnson's best modern biographer assessed Boswell's achievement in this way: ‘It was to be a new kind of biography - a life in Scenes as though it were a kind of drama. And when this life in Scenes did appear nothing comparable to it had existed. Nor has anything comparable been written since because that special union of talents opportunities and subject matter has never been duplicated. If there were writers who had Boswell's opportunities of knowing their subject as well they have not had his unusual combination of talents. If they had his talents they have lacked his opportunities. The talents include his gift for empathy and dramatic imitation his ability to draw people out and get them to talk freely his astonishing memory for conversations his zest and gusto his generous capacity for admiration and his sheer industry as a reporter - qualities that are by no means often found together. Whatever its limitations the work remains unique among all writings by one human being about another in the drama fidelity and range of interests in the conversation of one of the most fascinating individuals in history Samuel Johnson’ N. Y.: Harcourt Brace 1977 pp. 365-366.<em><br></em>Adam 2:37. Courtney 172-173. Grolier English 65. Pottle 79. Rothschild 463-465. The greatest biography in the English language – a remarkable untrimmed copy in contemporary boards printed by Henry Baldwin for Charles Dilly hardcover

Bellows Falls Vt.: Printed by Blake Cutler and Co. for Charles Ewer and Timothy Bedlington. 1824. Hardcover. Very Good-. Five Volume Set; 8vo; 5 vols pages; FIve volumes in full sheepskin covers in a decorative "tree" pattern flat spines paneled with pairs of gilt rules red and black leather labels lettered in gilt with the titles and volume numbers respectively in the second and fourth panels. Some wear and rubbing all covers soundly attached small pieces missing from the spines of volumes II and IV other volumes with just trifling losses at the head of the spines. Ink signatures in each volume by John H. Edmonds a leading Utica NY lawyer dated March 1849 -- on the front paste-down endpapers. An interesting early American edition of Boswell's Life of Johnson printed in Bellows Falls Vermont -- the site of the first bridge over the Connecticut River in 1785. A paper mill was one of the first commercial enterprises in the town. The firm of printers who produced these volumes was "Blake Cutler and Co." Blake was Bill Blake proprietor of the first newspaper to be published in the town of Rockingham -- 'The Vermont Intelligencer and Bellows Falls Advertiser' founded January 1 1817. This newspaper was established owned and published by Bill Blake & Company who occupied a building upon the corner of Westminster and Mill streets. They carried on an extensive printing and publishing business; also a book bindery and a wholesale and retail book store. In addition to these they owned a paper-mill where they manufactured both writing and printing paper. Blake's company became Blake Cutler & Company in which form the firm appears on these volumes and later James I. Cutler & Company. Sadly their paper-mill was burned on July 11 1846 and the printing office building on March 14 1860. Their handsome Boswell's Life of Johnson is the second Boston edition of this greatest of all biographies. The first had the imprint: "Boston: Published by W. Andrews and L. Blake. Greenough and Stebbins printers. 1807." That 1807 edition appeared in three volumes and the title page stated: "First American from the fifth London edition." This Bellows Falls edition can be counted as the second Boston edition for while the imprint of the first volume reads: "Bellows Falls Vt. : Printed by Blake Cutler and Co. for Charles Ewer and Timothy Bedlington. 1824" -- the imprint varies on the title pages of the rest of the set. Volumes 2-5 have title pages reading: "Boston: Published by Charles Ewer and Timothy Bedlington. 1824. Each of these final four volumes have the printer's slug of "Blake Cutler & Co. printers Bellows Falls Vt." on the versos of title pages. Assuming that Blake and Cutler used their own paper for these volumes the present condition speaks well for the quality of their product. The text sheets are clean crisp and almost entirely free from foxing. There are no vertical chain lines although there are faint closely-spaced horizontal lines from the screen on which the paper was made it is essentially "wove" paper rather than laid. The endpapers and binder's blanks are foxed. Half titles present in each volume. Volume I has an engraved portrait of Dr. Johnson as frontispiece -- signed: "Bowen prt." The frontispiece plate in volume II is a folding engraved "Fac Similies of Dr. Johnson"s Hand Writing." The frontispiece plate in volume III is a folding engraved "Round Robin Addressed to Samuel Johnson L.L.D." Gathered in sixes. Pagination: Vol. 1: xxxiii 1 302 p. 1 leaf of plates; v. 2: 4 318 p. 1 folded leaf of plates; v. 3: 4 316 p. 1 folded leaf of plates; v. 4: 4 348 p.; v. 5: 4 332 p.Errors in paging: v. 1 p. 221 misnumbered 218; v. 3 p. 69-71 misnumbered 79-81."Chronological catalogue of the prose works of Samuel Johnson LL.D."--v. 1 p. xxv-xxxiii.Includes index.

Reynolds' reaction to Heath's first try at the portrait was that it made Johnson appear too young and not thoughtful enough; this frontispiece is the second somewhat older and wiser looking Johnson portrait.
