The second edition was something of a botched effort by Boswell and the result was a book "painfully at variance with his own standards of ordered arrangement" although much new important material was added. It was left to Malone to "shake together" Boswell's second and the third "is now generally regarded as the definitive edition" Pottle. Pottle 82. printed by H.

London: John Murray 1835. 8vo 10 volumes engraved frontispiece and title-p. in each volume all by Stanfield after Finden original blindstamped brown cloth gilt lettering direct and within blindstamped labels; vol. 1 2 and 10 neatly rebacked; the binding was a dainty one from the start and needs care in handling but the overall appearance is generally very good. This set with the 1835 ownership signature of Charles Kelsall who has penned 14 lines of commentary in vol. 1 and 69 lines in vol. 2 on endpapers and flyleaf all in praise of the good Dr. Johnson. Croker's second edition which was anonymously edited by John Wright. The original Croker edition 1831 in 5 vols. 8vo still stands as a monument of Johnsonian scholarship; but it was badly edited much and famously condemned by Macaulay. Seeing the problem Murray hastily engaged Wright to do a make-over and republished it in 1835. These 1835 plates were later stereotyped and many editions followed those after 1853 under the Bohn imprint to whom Murray had sold the plates. "No matter what the title-pages may say all Crokers in ten volumes small octavo often described as duodecimo are so far as the text is concerned one and the same thing. The number of illustrations varies" Pottle. Pottle 92. John Murray unknown

THE LIFE OF SAMUEL JOHNSON
Westminster: Archibald Constable and Co 1896. 178 x 114 mm. 7 x 4 1/2". Bound with the half titles. Six volumes. Edited by Augustine Birrell. <br/> Simple but pleasing contemporary tan crushed morocco over vertically ribbed green buckram spines flat with gilt lettering olive green chalky endpapers top edges gilt other edges rough trimmed. With engraved frontispiece in each volume. ◆A touch of rubbing to the joints and extremities spines just very slightly sunned but an extremely appealing little set the bindings with negligible wear the cloth boards like new and the text entirely fresh and clean.<br/> <br/> Generally considered to be the greatest biography in any language this account of Dr. Johnson reveals the most fully realized figure in literature and it prefigures modern biography in emphasizing the character of the subject rather than his deeds. It is also a tribute to Boswell's genius in that the bulk of the text is made up of accounts by the author of situations that he himself created so that his subject would be prompted to behave in a revealing and memorable way. Boswell "was a consummate impresario stage-managing the setting and 'dramatis personae' amidst which Johnson would glitter and then providing topics and opinions to elicit the magnificent rejoinders of Johnson." The result is that we see an unforgettable portrait of a man brilliant and profound and at the same time dogmatic overbearing prejudiced and irascible. Day This edition of the famous biography was edited by Augustine Birrell 1850-1933 lawyer Liberal politician and chief secretary for Ireland during the difficult years 1907-16. Birrell was also a respected man of letters and bibliophile amassing a library of more than 10000 volumes. DNB calls his essay on Johnson "witty and elegant.". Archibald Constable and Co unknown
