A VERY HANDSOME COPY OF TWO OF THE GREAT BOOKS OF THE AGE BOUND TOGETHER INTO THIS FAMOUS PRESENTATION WITH ILLUSTRATIONS BY ERNEST SHEPARD SIGNED BY HIM. Celebrated for its intimacy and vividness Boswell's Life of Johnson "is one of the best books in the world. It is assuredly a great very great work. Homer is not more decidedly the first of heroic Poets--Shakespeare is not more decidedly the first of Dramatists--Demosthenes is not more decidedly the first of Orators than Boswell is the first of Biographers." Macauley in the Edinburgh Review 1831. Boswell learned a great deal about the art of biography from his subject and brought to his task boundless curiosity persistence and zest. The tour proved to be inspirational for both men. Johnson published A JOURNEY TO THE WESTERN ISLANDS OF SCOTLAND in 1775 and Boswell in addition to this work used his notes from the tour extensively in his LIFE OF JOHNSON published in 1791. "As a narrative of personal adventures Boswell's account is to be preferred to Johnson's. Naturally such a work as was true of everything concerning Dr. Johnson aroused great interest which was heightened by Boswell's frankness in expressing opinions about his hosts as well as by his naiveté in relating incidents that did not reflect credit to himself" Cox. This is a very handsomely bound and readable copy of these two masterworks. G. Bell and Sons, Limited hardcover
