Rogers Paragraphs on Printing p. 72 ref.; The Work of Bruce Rogers p. 370; Stark Books Designed by Bruce Rogers p. 10. The collection of Boswell's papers long thought destroyed were rediscovered in various homes in Ireland and Scotland and were reluctantly sold to Isham in 1928 by Lord Talbot his wife one of Boswell's great-granddaughters. After his great acquisition Isham negotiated a deal with William Edwin Rudge to print the collection as a set for subscribers. Bruce Rogers was assigned the task of designing the format and produced a set of volumes that are "magnificent examples of the arts of the printed book. They are surely the most impressive single monument of the Rudge/Rogers association." Blume. unknown

19289900041580Privately printed 1928. Folio. The first publication of Boswell's private papers which had since Boswell's death in 1785 lain locked in a cabinet sequestered in the estate of Lord Talbot de Malahide until the copyright to them was acquired by Lieut. Col. Isham 'as a result of which this long-shut gateway into the eighteenth century was finally unlocked'. Prepared for the press by Geoffrey Scott whose 'duty has here been confined except in Vol. VI to establish the text and chronology of the documents; to classify them with a view to the special character of this edition; and to provide some brief explanatory prefaces.' The printer was William Edwin Rudge of New York City. After printing the type was distributed. Our offering is the prospectus for an eighteen volume set from which Rudge the printer '.has the honour to present the following particulars in regard to the set for the information of collectors'. The folio contains details of the first six volumes in the series which were issued in December 1928 and brief details of 'further volumes to be issued subsequently'. Also laid-in loose is a facsimile of a page in Boswell's hand from his private papers. The 13 pages of text and the facsimile measure 39 x 26.5 cms. and except for some minor marginal age-toning are in excellent condition. The stiff card folder on which is printed 'Private Papers of James Boswell' shows expected wear but is still perfectly serviceable. [Privately printed] unknown

195226187<p>New York::: McGraw-Hill 1952. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Near Fine copy in a Near Fine bright unclipped dust jacket with a touch of edge wear. These memoranda and letters from the time a young James Boswell spent in holland studying the law provide an intimate look at the famous biographer. Boswell seems a man troubled by depression as well as pressure from his father and a desire to raise himself socially. He can also be a kind of moral scold to the people he valued most. Not necessarily an attractive character but his candor and intimacy are what is valuable to a reader interested in how people really lived in the distant past.</p> McGraw-Hill,, hardcover
