Pottle 92. Spines just slightly and evenly sunned to a very pleasing burgundy one front hinge exposed with no hint of looseness offsetting from and onto the folding facsimiles other trivial imperfections but A LOVELY SET clean and fresh internally with attractively colored plates in a luscious and lustrous binding with virtually no signs of use.<br/> <br/> This is the first illustrated edition of the work generally considered to be the greatest biography in any language here embellished with additional portraits of Johnson's associates and views of important places in his life. First published in 1791 Boswell's account of Dr. Johnson reveals the most fully realized figure in literature and it prefigures modern biography in emphasizing the character of the subject rather than his deeds. It is also a tribute to Boswell's genius in that the bulk of the text is made up of accounts by the author of situations that he himself created so that his subject would be prompted to behave in a revealing and memorable way. Boswell "was a consummate impresario stage-managing the setting and 'dramatis personae' amidst which Johnson would glitter and then providing topics and opinions to elicit the magnificent rejoinders of Johnson." The result is that we see an unforgettable portrait of a man brilliant and profound and at the same time dogmatic overbearing prejudiced and irascible. Day This edition also includes Johnson's journal of his visit to the Hebrides Islands and "anecdotes by Hawkins Piozzi Murphy Tyers Reynolds Steevens &c. and notes by various hands" in the two final volumes which have the running title "Johnsoniana." Our handsome set is a good example of the early 20th century decorative work typical of the Bayntun firm founded in Bath in 1894 and now the last of the great Victorian trade binderies still in family ownership. It is not terribly uncommon to encounter extra-illustrated examples of this and similar sets of major literary works but it is unusual to find such a set with all the illustrations hand colored.

FIRST EDITION OF THIS FINE CLARENDON PRESS EDITION OF BOSWELL'S LIFE OF JOHNSON AND OTHER WORKS. 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.<br> Boswell had been collecting material for this work since his first interview with Johnson in 1763 and was confident that his kind of biography "which gives not only a History of Johnson's visible progress through the world and of his publications but a view of his mind in his letters and conversations is the most perfect that can be conceived and will be more of a Life than any work that has ever yet appeared." He said too that: “A sanction to my faculty of giving a just representation of Dr. Johnson I could not conceal. Nor will I suppress my satisfaction in the consciousness that by recording so considerable a portion of the wit and wisdom of the brightest ornament of the eigteenth century I have largely provided for the instruction and entertainment of mankind.†If Boswell does indulge in a little harmless flattery to himself the concluding words of his preface are literally true for Boswell’s Johnson as much as any other book “has largely provided for the instruction and entertainment of mankind.â€<br> The Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides is the famous account of Boswell and Johnson’s tour to the North in 1773 including some original poems by Johnson never before published and numerous “literary anecdotes and opinions of men and books.†This 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.<br> Volume VI is a very extensive study of the works of Johnson including a diagram of his contemporaries a significant section on the Titles of Works Quoted in the Notes an Addenda of Autograph Letters and etc. and a very extensive indes and Dicta Philosophi.

A VERY HANDSOME COPY OF TWO OF THE GREAT BOOKS OF THE AGE. 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.<br> 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.<br> This is a very handsomely bound and readable copy of these two masterworks and includes important contributions Mr. Malone's and Mr. Boswell's advertisements as well as a significant number of the Thrale letters and others.

EARLY PRINTING OF ONE OF THE GREATEST BIOGRAPHIES IN THE LANGUAGE. 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."

The object of the work is to depict the life of the period in English history which may legitimately be described as the Age of Johnson. Johnson lived from 1709 to 1784 from the time of Queen Anne and into the third decade of the reign of George III. The book is a descriptive tour de force extremely well written and highly illuminating.<br> Johnson had once said of his own time--’The present age’ he wrote in 1758 <br>though not likely to shine hereafter among the most splendid periods of history has yet given examples of charity which may be very properly commended to imitation.’ The years after Johnson wrote those words saw the year of Minden of Quiberon Bay Lgos and the taKing of Quebec a series of victories to which there are few parallels. It was the age of Chatham too and of Clive Cook Wolfe Burke Fox Gibbon Fielding Reynolds Gainsborough the Adams Garrick Cavendish Priestley Watt and many many others. It can be reckoned among the splendid periods of history. Printed for T. Cadell; F.C. And J. Rivington ; Longman, Hurst Rees, etc. unknown
