The journal of a tour to the Hebrides with Samuel Johnson . containing some poetical pieces by Dr. Johnson relative to the tour and never before published; a series of his conversation literary anecdotes and opinions of men and books.
London: printed by Henry Baldwin for Charles Dilly 1785. First edition 8vo pp. vii 1 524 1; E3 E4 and M4 are cancels as usual; leaves I5 Q7 and U6 are in Pottle's second state; beneath the list of errata at the end is a notice for Boswell's Life of Johnson "preparing for the press" which did not appear for another 6 years; contemporary mottled calf neatly rebacked in tan calf gilt-paneled spine red morocco label; a very good sound copy. "Though the Life is a vaster and richer piece of work no one will maintain that it displays Boswell's unique gift for biography better than the Tour. Indeed most lovers of Boswell will agree that the Tour as a whole is more consistently good than the Life; that is that nowhere in the Life could one find so many consecutive first-class pages as those that compose this book" Pottle. The book published is almost the same as the actual journal that was kept in 1773. When Johnson's death made it possible for Boswell to publish the manuscript he only added an introduction and a conclusion before giving it to the printer.

We have more books available by this author!. 631 pp. Abridged. Illustrations by Gordon Ross. Titles on spine decor on front board and top page ridge all gilt. Boswell's biographical account of Samuel Johnson. The Life of Samuel Johnson LL.D. 1791 is a biography of Dr. Samuel Johnson written by James Boswell. The work was a popular and critical success when first published. 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 but some modern critics object that the work cannot be considered a proper biography. 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. Nonetheless modern biographers have found Boswell's biography an important source of information on Johnson and his times. International Collectors Library hardcover books

BOSWELL JAMES
The life of Samuel Johnson including a Journal of his tour to the Hebrides . to which are added anecdotes by Hawkins Piozzi Murphy . and notes by various hands
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. <br/><br/> John Murray hardcover books
