‎<p><strong>1791. 1st Edition Limited Edition .</strong> Hardcover. Very Good. Complete in 2 volumes. Illustrated with frontispiece portrait of Johnson by J. Heath after Sir Joshua Reynolds and 2 additional engraved plates. All 3 plates with imprints dated April 10 1791. Frontispiece with the original tissue-guard intact. 4to. Bound in contemporary circa 1800 speckled calf with gilt armorial supralibros on all 4 covers spines with raised bands; red morocco gilt-lettered labels; small black morocco circular volume-number labels. Printed by Henry Baldwin for Charles Dilly London 1791. First Edition. <strong>Limited to 1750 copies.</strong> <br /><br /><strong>Printed on light blue paper. </strong>Vol. I has the correct give reading on page 135 line 10 generally considered the second state although as Pottle notes booksellers have given this rather uninteresting point more attention than it deserves. The copies printed on light blue paper were presumably reserved for members of the nobility: When Boswell published his The Life of Samuel Johnson the King was sent a copy of the First Edition printed on blue paper dutifully inscribed by Boswell himself. S. J. Patterson The Royal Library. Windsor Castle. in M. L. López-Vidriero P. M. Cátedra eds. El libro antiguo español Vol. III page 203. <br /><br />This blue-paper set belonged to the distinguished British Whig statesman William 1st Baron Grenville PC FRS 1759-1834 who served as Chancellor of the University of Oxford and Prime Minister of Britain from 1806 to 1807. Each volume carries on both covers gilt-stamped armorial supralibros of William Grenville lettered Sigillum W.W. Baronis Grenville Cancellarii Academie Oxoniensis apparently dating from the period 1809-1834 when he was the Chancellor of Oxford University. <br /><br />Boswell's <em>Life of Johnson</em> arguably the most famous biography in any language was first mentioned in the authors extensive diaries in March 1772 although it is likely Boswell conceived of the idea to preserve but a faint impression of Johnson letter to Wilkes 13 July 1765 several years before. The task which Boswell saw as a glory to myself and a benefit to mankind took the best part of two decades to come to fruition and was eventually published 28 years after the first meeting of the author and his subject in Thomas Davies back parlor in 1763. When <em>The</em><em> Life of Samuel Johnson</em> 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 Johnsons 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. <br /><br />With the usual cancel leaves Mm4 in Vol. I and E3 Oo4 Qq3 Zz1 and Eee2 in Vol. II leaf Nn1 in Vol. I does not appear to be a cancel. Bindings slightly rubbed with a few minor scratches; light wear and bumping to corners; bottom fore-corner of the front cover of Vol. I somewhat bent; joints somewhat worn with some partial superficial cracking but all boards firmly and securely attached. Interiors with some light scattered spotting and minor foxing; a yellowish stain to page 530 in Vol. II; o/w a solid clean unmarked set with wide margins. <strong>A very rare blue paper copy</strong></p> Printed by Henry Baldwin for Charles Dilly hardcover‎
