James Boswell
The Life of Samuel Johnson ; In Three Volumes ; with Marginal Comments By Mrs Piozzi
New York: The Heritage Press 1963. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. As New/Very Good. First Thus. Hardcover. Book Condition: As New. All three volumes in the most fantastic condition. They even smell new. Dust Jacket Condition: Slip cased. Some corners a little rubbed but still very good. 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. <br/> <br/> The Heritage Press, hardcover
