1795réf. 248555County Fife Scotland 1795. 2 1/2 pp. pen and ink on a folded sheet. 4to 10 x 15 3/4 inches; 250 x 400 mm. across the fold. Unusual fold lines. In custom cloth chemise. 2 1/2 pp. pen and ink on a folded sheet. 4to 10 x 15 3/4 inches; 250 x 400 mm. across the fold. With: HORSBRUGH Thomas Deputy sheriff clerk. Autograph Letter signed "Thos.

Torrential rains in the autumn of 1795 decimated cereal crops in the southwest of Scotland. This letter from then Sheriff of Fife Claud Irvine Boswell is an appeal for assistance sent to first Viscount Melville Henry Dundas 1742-1811. Boswell indicates as an enclosure a letter from Thomas Horsbrugh in which the deputy sheriff clerk assesses the extent of the damages in nearby Cupar. Written in clear and legible late-eighteenth-century cursive hands these are interesting historical artifacts that document Boswell's extraordinary concern for public welfare: "I presume you will consider the account of the crop in this country as important from the consequences that may result therefrom if some remedy is not provided. It is not the Farmer who suffers the most from the badness of the Crop but the great body of the people the labouring poor.". unknown

Oxford Edition. Complete in two volumes. Uniformly bound in signed half crushed morocco by Hatchards.Frontispiece to both volumes.

1826réf. SET3-C-10Oxford: Talboys and Wheeler; William Pickering 1826. Leather. Good. 8.5" by 5.5". Various. The Pickering edition of Boswell's famous biography of Samuel Johnson bound in full calf. With an engraved frontispiece of Boswell to the second volume and a folding facsimile to the third volume. Part of the Oxford English Classics series. This edition was noted by Keynes as being one of the Pickering impressions that has 'Special merit'. 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.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. Regardless of these actions modern biographers have found Boswell's biography as an important source of information on Johnson and his times. Complete in four volumes. Collated missing one facsimile. In calf bindings. Spine labels have been replaced. Externally sound though with some rubbing and bumping. Four joints are cracked hinges strained. Internally firmly bound. Pages are bright and generally clean though with some instances of spotting. Good Talboys and Wheeler; William Pickering hardcover

"One of Western literature's most germinal achievements: unprecedented in its time in its depth of research and its extensive use of private correspondence and recorded conversation."
