James Boswell
Boswell's Journal of A Tour of the Hebrides.
<p>Red cloth binding with gilt title on the spine. Complete with six working drawing sheets.</p><ul><li><strong>We provide an in-depth photographic presentation of this item to stimulate your feeling and touch. More traditional book descriptions are immediately available.</strong></li></ul><p>First Edition. Published by William Heinemann Ltd London 1936 First. Hardcover with tight binding. Condition: Very Good. Clean and bright text.</p><p><strong><em>The Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides with Samuel Johnson LL.D.</em></strong> is a travel journal by Scotsman James Boswell first published in 1785. In 1773 Boswell enticed his English friend Samuel Johnson to accompany him on a tour through the highlands and western islands of Scotland. Johnson was then in his mid-sixties and well known for his literary works and his Dictionary. The two travelers set out from Edinburgh and skirted the eastern and northeastern coasts of Scotland passing through St Andrews Aberdeen and Inverness. They then passed into the highlands and spent several weeks on various islands in the Hebrides including Skye Coll and Mull. After a visit to Boswell's estate at Auchinleck the travelers returned to Edinburgh. Johnson published his <em>Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland</em> on 18 January 1775. It was widely read discussed and criticised especially for some sceptical remarks Johnson made questioning the authenticity of the Ossian poems which were then all the rage. After Johnson's death in 1784 Boswell published his <em>Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides</em>. This work was based on a diary Boswell had kept during the 1773 tour and included detailed descriptions of where he and Johnson had gone and what Johnson had said. The Journal served as a teaser for the longer biography Boswell was preparing for publication his <em>Life of Samuel Johnson</em> which would exhibit the same qualities. Boswell's <em>Journal</em> and Johnson's <em>Journey</em> make an interesting study in contrast. Johnson considers things philosophically and maintains a high level of generality. Boswell's approach is more anecdotal even gossipy and succeeds in large part because of Boswell's keen eye and ear for detail. Both accounts are still widely read and admired today.</p> William Heinemann. hardcover

James Boswell
Boswell's Life of Samuel Johnson Including a Journal of His Tour to The Hebrides and Johnsoniana; A Collection of Miscellaneous Anecdotes and Sayings of Samuel Johnson In Ten Volumes
London : Henry G. Bohn 1859. Leather. Very Good. 6.5" by 4.5". None. A uniformly bound set of this well known biography regarded as an important stage in the development of the modern genre of biography; with many claiming it to be the greatest biography written in English. New edition with numerous additions and notes by John Wilson Croker. Henry G. Bohn's 1835 edition was originally published in ten volumes. This new edition is complete in eight volumes with the last two volumes of this set holding "Johnsoniana A Collection of Miscellaneous Anecdotes and Sayings of Samuel Johnson" which are complete within themselves. Adorned with a beautiful frontispiece from the original 1835 edition engraved title page to each volume. Holding thirty-four of the original forty plates several of which that are folding. When the Life of Samuel Johnson was published in 1791 it at once commanded the admiration that Boswell had sought for so long and it has since suffered no diminution. Its style was unique in that unlike other biographies of that era it directly incorporated conversations that Boswell had noted down at the time for his journals. He also included far more personal and human details than those to which contemporary readers were accustomed. Instead of writing a respectful and dry record of Johnson's public life in the style of the time he painted a vivid portrait of the complete man brought to life through a 'dramatic' style of dialogue. It has often been described as the greatest biography ever written. It has often been asked how a man such as Boswell could have produced so remarkable a work as the Life of Johnson. Among those who attempted an answer were Macaulay and Carlyle: the former argued that Boswell's uninhibited folly and candour were his greatest qualifications; the latter replied that beneath such traits was a mind to discern excellence and a heart to appreciate it aided by the power of accurate observation and considerable dramatic ability. Holding The Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides with Samuel Johnson the renowned travel journal of Boswell and Johnson's journey from Edinburgh through the eastern and northeastern coasts of Scotland passing through St Andrews Aberdeen and Inverness. They then passed into the highlands and spent several weeks on various islands in the Hebrides including Skye Coll and Mull. The work is based on a diary Boswell had kept during the 1773 tour and included detailed descriptions of where he and Johnson had gone and what Johnson had said. Rebound in half calf bindings with cloth covered boards. A workman-like binding but sound with somewhat shakey hand written spines. Externally generally smart with only some light rubbing. Internally firmly bound bright and generally clean with only some very light foxing affecting some of the plates and endpapers. Very Good Henry G. Bohn hardcover

James Boswell; Edited by George Birkbeck
Boswell's Life of Johnson Including Boswell's Journal of A Tour to the Hebrides and Johnson's Diary of a Journey into North Wales
Oxford : At The Clarendon Press 1887. Cloth. Good Only. 9" by 6";. None. A complete set of James Boswell's biography of the illustrious man of letters Dr Samuel Johnson. Edited by George Birkbeck Hill. Also containing Boswell's Journal of A Tour to the Hebrides and Johnson's Diary of a Journey into North Wales. Illustrated throughout with fourteen plates collated complete including a folding coloured map. Volume I: The Life 1709-1765 Volume II: The Life 1766-1776 Volume III: The Life 1776-1780 Volume IV: The Life 1780-1784 Volume V: The Tour to the Hebrides and The Journey into North Wales and Volume VI: Addenda Index Dicta Philosophi etc. The Life of Samuel Johnson LL.D. 1791 is a biography of Dr. Samuel Johnson written by James Boswell. It is regarded as an important stage in the development of the modern genre of biography; many have claimed it as the greatest biography written in English. While Boswell's personal acquaintance with his subject only began in 1763 when Johnson was 54 years old Boswell covered the entirety of Johnson's life by means of additional research. The biography takes many critical liberties with Johnson's life as Boswell makes various changes to Johnson's quotations and even censors many comments. Regardless of these actions modern biographers have found Boswell's biography as an important source of information. The work was popular among early audiences and with modern critics. Complete in six volumes. In green cloth bindings. Externally sound though with some light bumping and wear to the extremities. Erased library markings to spine. 1 hinge tender with endpapers and frontispiece working loose with all other hinges strained. Internally binding strained in places. Institutional label to endpapers and ink stamps throughout. Pages are slightly browned. Good Only At The Clarendon Press hardcover
