1791réf. 13388London: printed by Henry Baldwin for Charles Dilly 1791. First edition mixed first and second issue with ‘give’ on p.135 of the first volume but with some of the attributes of the first issuem ie Mm4 in Volume I and E3 and Eee2 in Volume II are cancels. Engraved frontispiece portrait of Johnson by Heath after Reynolds 2 engraved plates of facsimiles by H. Shepherd. 4to. bound in contemporary calf elegantly rebacked and reinforced at the edges with calf with red morocco spine labels and gilt tooling a few bupes and scratchings to boards but generally a very handsome copy.According to the bibliographer Pottle the ‘gve’ which is meant to denote the first issue is a rather overegged: “booksellers have given this rather uninteresting ‘point’ more attention than it deserves. There are probably varying states of some of the other leaves” hence this rather confusing half first/half second issue. It might be more realistic to call this a first edition and have done with it. ‘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 Orators than Boswell is the first of Biographers. We are not sure that there is in the whole history of the human intellect so singular a phenomenon as this book. Many of the greatest men that ever lived have written biography; Boswell was one of the smallest men that ever lived and he has beaten them all’ Macaulay in the Edinburgh Review 1831 ap. Allibone. W. Jackson Bate Johnson's best modern biographer assessed Boswell's achievement in this way: ‘It was to be a new kind of biography - a life in Scenes as though it were a kind of drama. And when this life in Scenes did appear nothing comparable to it had existed. Nor has anything comparable been written since because that special union of talents opportunities and subject matter has never been duplicated. If there were writers who had Boswell's opportunities of knowing their subject as well they have not had his unusual combination of talents. If they had his talents they have lacked his opportunities. The talents include his gift for empathy and dramatic imitation his ability to draw people out and get them to talk freely his astonishing memory for conversations his zest and gusto his generous capacity for admiration and his sheer industry as a reporter - qualities that are by no means often found together. Whatever its limitations the work remains unique among all writings by one human being about another in the drama fidelity and range of interests in the conversation of one of the most fascinating individuals in history Samuel Johnson’ N. Y.: Harcourt Brace 1977 pp. 365-366. Our copy has the original invoice to one James Turner dated 1903 from Ye Olde Boke Shoppe in Leeds and an additional portrait of Johnson.Adam 2:37; Courtney 172-173; Grolier English 65; Pottle 79; Rothschild 463-465.
