Contemporary calf spine divided by raised bands red morocco label edges sprinkled red. A little scattered spotting and soiling flyleaf nearly detached.

The first edition of Boswell’s first proper book an account of his journey to Corsica and a biography of Corsican president Pascal Paoli. In this copy leaves E2 and Z3 are cancellentia. Neither Gaskell nor ESTC nor Pottle assign any precedence to the various textual variations found across printings with Pottle suggesting that the cancel leaves were printed in duplicate four copies of each across an octavo sheet resulting in slight differences alongside other misprints across the edition ‘no doubt corrected in the press’ p. 52. Rothschild records a few variations not mentioned by other bibliographers: the map in this copy is in his second state with the imprint to the bottom margin and on page 51 the words ‘John Home’ correctly follow the second quotation Rothschild’s second state again. Rothschild also differentiates the varying states of the cancel leaves with our E2 in his state ii though no information is given on how to distinguish the three states of Z3.

1768rif. 154271Glasgow: by Robert and Andrew Foulis for Edward and Charles Dilly in the Poultry London 1768. Establishing Boswell's fame and advancing the Corsican cause First edition of Boswell's first important publication an account of his travels to Corsica in 1765 where he took up the cause of Corsican independence and befriended the leader Paoli. The publication established Boswell's reputation and did much to promote the Corsican cause both in Britain and across Europe. "With its reports of the gallant islanders and a Plutarchan depiction of Paoli paralleled with several classical heroes it was an immediate success. The work was widely read and translated stimulated great interest in Paoli and the Corsican cause brought its author wide fame in Britain and Europe and found an interested readership among the Americans. It attracted the notice of the French government which had a translation made and though Boswell's ambition for British intervention was not to be fulfilled he probably influenced Britain's decision to send secret supplies of arms to the Corsicans" ODNB.
