rif. elala2629London: John Murray 1831. First Edition Edited by John Wilson Croker. The publication of this remarkable edition opens an entirely new era in the history of Boswells book The new materials which Croker collected far exceed in bulk and intrinsic importance the contributions to the exegesis of Boswell made by any other editor. In the first place he unearthed and printed for the first time about one hundred new letters of Johnson; a larger number than had previously been published by any other one except Mrs. Piozzi and Boswell or than has been published by any one since not excepting Dr. Hill .

rif. elala2630Oxford: At The Clarendon Press 1887. First Edition Edited by George Birkbeck Hill of the most famous biography in the English language. "The definitive edition with copious annotations and a model index." Encyc. Brit. 11th Edn. This has so long held the field as the one edition for scholarly use that it is most unlikely it will every be superseded Hills purpose was to surround Boswells book with as rich a mass of illustrative comment concerning the literature and literary men in Great Britain during the latter half of the eighteenth century as he could find reasonable connexion for in the allusions of the text His references to parallel passages in Johnsons own works constitute one of the most valuable features of the edition as the index to the Life serves in some measure as a concordance to the Works. The mass of pertinent illustrative material from other books shows Hill to have been easily the best-read of all the editors after Malone The great mass of pertinent matter from other books the fullness and convenience of the index and the uniform accuracy of the references make the edition one of the few indispensable tools for all workers in the eighteenth century.
