A contemporary bookplate on each front pastedown. Boswell's historical and literary magnum opus: arguably the most famous biography in English literature. Many have praised Boswell for his reconstruction of the larger-than-life character of Samuel Johnson. Johnson's personality shines through the letters and journal entries included in these volumes. Samuel Johnson of course is best-remembered for his revised English Dictionary done after Nathan Bailey's first pass at an English-language dictionary. Johnson's dictionary stands out as one of wit full of pithy entries reflective of his life experience and skilfull command of the English language. A handsome set of Boswell's story of Samuel Johnson a work that has been celebrated throughout the ages as a turning-point in biography remembrance and as a revolution in the characterization of a historical person. Recently and sympathetically rebacked a few corners subtly renewed. The title pages and the final plate has a neat repair. Printed by Henry Baldwin, for Charles Dilly, in the Poultry hardcover
