178368272First Edition of Boswell's First Foray into Politics BOSWELL James. A Letter to the People of Scotland On the Present State of the Nation. Edinburgh: Printed and Sold by all the Booksellers 1783. First Edition. 43 1 blank pp. Some minor foxing mainly to title-page. This pamphlet is bound at the end of the volume. This pamphlet representing Boswell's first foray into politics is rare at auction. There have been no copies of this first at auction since 1968. According to Pottle "The pamphlet seems to be rare; at least it appears in the catalogues of few large libraries. There are two copies in the British Museum one in the Harvard College Library and one in the New York Public Library." "This is the first of Boswell's " characteristical pamphlets" to bear his name on the title-page and it makes a new and important stage in Boswell's career his real reason for penning the pamphlet undoubtedly being that he saw a general election imminent and proposed to stand as parliamentary candidate for Ayrshire."
