A lovely copy uncut in the original boards and uncommon thus. Pottle notes that the second edition was issued in boards at 6s. and also bound "All copies I have seen are full-bound in calf." Boswell's account of a three month tour of the Highlands and islands of Scotland which he made in the company of Samuel Johnson in 1773. Johnson's own account A Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland had been published in 1775. While Johnson's book sticks to the sober description of topography and history that was expected from travel books of the time Boswell's book "has the chatty informality of a 'rough' guide: its focus is on Johnson as it describes his charged encounters with the native population whether humble cottagers or important personages like Lord Monboddo and Boswell's formidable father Lord Auchinleck" Oxford DNB. "The principal changes made in the second edition besides the correction of some printer's errors are the removal of a few errors of fact and a large number of slight verbal changes in the interest of grammar and elegance; the addition of the Contents two Appendixes and a number of notes explanatory or controversial; and the substitution pp. 165-6 of a softened account of the stay with Sir Alexander Macdonald for the too frank disclosures of the original narrative' Chapman p. xvii.

2001réf. 127898Yale University Press September 2001. Hardcover. New. This valuable collection presents James Boswell’s quest over a period of some twenty years to amplify his personal knowledge of his major biographical subject Samuel Johnson through correspondence with a wide network of friends authorities and informants. The volume has been expanded to include 21 letters that were unavailable at the time of its first publication in 1969. Boswell’s papers testify to the diligence of his researches illuminate his powerfully innovative biographical method and provide the groundwork for assessments of the complex principles of selection and exclusion that came into play as his overall vision of Johnson took shape. With Marshall Waingrow’s insightful annotations the collection brings to life an impressive gallery of figures from late eighteenth-century Britain. Correcting production and other errors in the first edition which has been out of print for two decades and taking into account recent scholarship this volume will serve as an indispensable companion to the ongoing manuscript edition of the Life of Johnson. Readers with an interest in the theory and practice of biography or the social world of Britain in the 1700s will find this book filled with enlightening information.
