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

1936réf. FB5870 /18Red cloth binding with gilt title on the spine. Complete with six working drawing sheets. We provide an in-depth photographic presentation of this item to stimulate your feeling and touch. More traditional book descriptions are immediately available. First Edition. Published by William Heinemann Ltd London 1936 First. Hardcover with tight binding. Condition: Very Good. Clean and bright text. The Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides with Samuel Johnson LL.D. is a travel journal by Scotsman James Boswell first published in 1785. In 1773 Boswell enticed his English friend Samuel Johnson to accompany him on a tour through the highlands and western islands of Scotland. Johnson was then in his mid-sixties and well known for his literary works and his Dictionary. The two travelers set out from Edinburgh and skirted the eastern and northeastern coasts of Scotland passing through St Andrews Aberdeen and Inverness. They then passed into the highlands and spent several weeks on various islands in the Hebrides including Skye Coll and Mull. After a visit to Boswell's estate at Auchinleck the travelers returned to Edinburgh. Johnson published his Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland on 18 January 1775. It was widely read discussed and criticised especially for some sceptical remarks Johnson made questioning the authenticity of the Ossian poems which were then all the rage. After Johnson's death in 1784 Boswell published his Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides. This work was based on a diary Boswell had kept during the 1773 tour and included detailed descriptions of where he and Johnson had gone and what Johnson had said. The Journal served as a teaser for the longer biography Boswell was preparing for publication his Life of Samuel Johnson which would exhibit the same qualities. Boswell's Journal and Johnson's Journey make an interesting study in contrast. Johnson considers things philosophically and maintains a high level of generality. Boswell's approach is more anecdotal even gossipy and succeeds in large part because of Boswell's keen eye and ear for detail. Both accounts are still widely read and admired today.

1810réf. 49751Philadelphia: John F. Watson 1810. Hardcover. 8vo. Rebound in modern brown cloth with gilt spine lettering. xvi 414pp. Very good overall. Rebind is pristine and fresh while text block is moderately age toned and foxed sporadically throughout with bit of old dampstain to preliminary leaves. First American edition of this travelogue originally published in London in 1785 -- here "From the London Edition Revised and Corrected by the Author." Two versions of the first edition were published in 1810 and since both the other being New York/Boston Inskeep and Bradford were printed by R. & W. Carr of Philadelphia and differ only in title page it's arguable that Philly publisher Watson's copies hit the bookshops sooner than those shipped to New York and Boston -- not a certain precedence though so either imprint are considered first editions. Interestingly remounted to the front pastedown is the late 19th century "Library of the Young Men's Christian Association" bookplate of Harrisburg Pennsylvania -- which explains the printed "Bequest of the / Hon. Simon Cameron" label above this for when Lincoln's Secretary of War and Pennsylvania senator died in 1877 he was buried in Harrisburg and apparently his books were bequested to the local YMCA. Though rebound a decent and quite handleable first with an intriguing provenance. SHAW AND SHOEMAKER 19607. John F. Watson hardcover
