‎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. 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 backstrips 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. 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

‎The life of Samuel Johnson LL.D. including a journal of his tour to the Hebrides . A new edition. With numerous additions and notes by John Wilson Croker LL.D. F.R.S.‎

‎London: John Murray 1831. First Crocker edition 8vo each volume with engraved frontispiece plus the round-robin plate and a map of the Hebrides; contemporary half tan calf over marbled boards maroon morocco labels on gilt-decorated spines; vol. 1 rebacked with old spine laid down; joints cracked on vols. 2-5 cords holding and in the case of vol. 5 barely holding top of vol. 4 slightly chipped. This edition 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. Pottle 91: The publication of this remarkable edition opens an entirely new era in the history of Boswell's book." <br/><br/> John Murray hardcover‎

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. <br/><br/> printed by H.

"This edition was the one most frequently reprinted in the 19th century and is often spoken of as 'the best of the pre-Crokerian editions'.

Although we believe that the third represents the form in which Boswell would ultimately have arranged the supplementary material we can never be sure of it for this edition was the last actually published in his lifetime. There were also many pleasant and characteristic sentences introduced in this edition which naturally dropped out when the text was shaken together by Malone" Pottle 81.
