Notes: The first portion of the book is a detailed general history of the Island of Corsica and the second portion is a journal of Boswell experiences while he traveled the island.

It is a lively account of his Quixotic adventures in Corsica and his associations with General Paoli whom he later exhibited in London and for whom he endeavored to get official British assistance. His childish pleasure in being the chief sponsor of this wild island struggling to become a nation led him to wear a Corsican costume at Garrick’s anniversary celebration in honor of Shakespeare held in 1769 at Stratford-on-Avon. Dr. Johnson praised his Tour in these words: ‘Your history is like other histories but you Journal is in very high degree curious and delightful…Your History was copied from books; your Journal rose out of your own experience and observation.'

The third edition was advertised for 1 May 1769 with the announcement that ‘Mr. Boswell's Account of Corsica has been so well received by the Public that two numerous Editions of 3500 Copies have been sold within the Space of a few Months; and the Book is so highly esteemed abroad that it has been translated into the French and Dutch languages and printed at Amsterdam and Lausanne'.As Boswell proudly recorded later.it was ‘translated into Dutch German Italian and twice into French'—all within a year of its publication. Besides this there were as listed above at least three editions printed in Ireland. The Account of Corsica was a book of the hour. Many more copies of it were sold in Boswell's lifetime than of either of his great works in the biography of Johnson and it achieved abroad a much more remarkable success" Pottle.<br/><br/>Cox I pp. 138-139.
