Frontispiece of Samuel Johnson in each volume finely illustrated by Joshua Reynolds. In near fine condition. An attractively bound set. "Everyone with an interest in Johnson is very much in debt to Boswell not only for the years of devotion he invested in the study of Johnson's life but for the uncanny skill with which he conveyed the quality of Johnson's personality and his effect on the people about him. If there had been no Boswell Johnson would have been one of the most famous names in English literature; but that he has become a household name is due to the chance that brought Boswell into his company Boswell is the sniffing bloodhound who will follow the scent of individuality into whatever territory it leads him. The fascination of their dialogue that dialogue of mind heart and voice round which Boswell organized his great Life is that it is not merely between two very different men but between two epochs. In its pages Romantic Europe speaks to Renaissance Europe and is answered" Wain 229. George Routledge and Sons hardcover‎

‎The Life of Samuel Johnson L.L.D. - 3 Volumes‎

‎New York. 1963. Heritage Press. Reprinted Edition. Very Good in Hardcover. With marginal comments and markings from two copies annotated by Hester Lynch Thrale Piozzi. Prepared for publication with an introduction by Edward G. Fletcher. 1425 pages. hardcover. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Poet lexicographer critic moralist and Great Chain Dr Johnson had in his friend Boswell the ideal biographer. Notoriously and self-confessedly intemperate Boswell shared with Johnson a huge appetite for life and threw equal energy into recording its every aspect in minute but telling detail. This irrepressible Scotsman was �always studying human nature and making experiments� and the marvellously vivacious Journals he wrote daily furnished him with first-rate material when he came to write his biography. The result is a masterpiece that brims over with wit anecdote and originality. Hailed by Macaulay as the best biography ever written and by Carlyle as a book �beyond any other product of the eighteenth century� The Life of Samuel Johnson today continues to enjoy its status as a classic of the language. inventory #37546 hardcover‎
