With a Hedges & Smith bookseller's label on the front board of volume 1. On Croker"s edition of Boswell"s Life of Johnson it is commented that "In 1831 Croker published a new edition of Boswell's Life of Johnson including the Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides which was vindictively attacked by Macaulay in the Edinburgh Review but which remained the best edition until.the work of George Birkbeck Hill" and that his research has been invaluable to later historians. DNB Dr Samuel Johnson 1709 1784 was an English author. Beginning as a Grub Street journalist he made lasting contributions to English literature as a poet essayist moralist novelist literary critic biographer editor and lexicographer. Johnson was a devout Anglican and political conservative. Samuel Johnson is probably most famous for his dictionary. James Boswell 1740 1795 was a lawyer diarist and author born in Edinburgh Scotland; he is best known for his biography of Samuel Johnson. His name has passed into the English language as a term Boswell Boswellian Boswellism for a constant companion and observer. John Wilson Croker 1780 1857 was a British statesman and author. He was educated at Trinity College Dublin where he graduated in 1800. Immediately afterwards he entered Lincoln's Inn and in 1802 he was called to the Irish bar. His interest in the French Revolution led him to collect a large number of valuable documents on the subject now in the British Museum. In 1809 Croker was appointed as secretary to the Admiralty. Many of his political speeches were published in pamphlet form. He was for many years one of the leading contributors on literary and historical subjects to the Quarterly Review with which he had been associated from its foundation. The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography comments that "He had a wide appreciation of all varieties of literature and art which made him a valuable intermediary between the politicians and the public and he was an able writer lucid fluent and always well informed."

181024722Philadelphia: John F. Watson 1810. First American edition 8vo pp. xvi 2 412; contemporary marbled boards rebacked and retipped new red morocco label on spine; title a bit browned else a very good sound copy. Another edition was published in Boston later the same year. "Though the Life is a vaster and richer piece of work no one will maintain that it displays Boswell's unique gift for biography better than the Tour. Indeed most lovers of Boswell will agree that the Tour as a whole is more consistently good than the Life; that is that nowhere in the Life could one find so many consecutive first-class pages as those that compose this book" Pottle. The book published is almost the same as the actual journal that was kept in 1773. When Johnson's death made it possible for Boswell to publish the manuscript he only added an introduction and a conclusion before giving it to the printer. Pottle 63. John F. Watson unknown
