18912542London: George Routledge & Sons Ltd 1891. Octavo 6 volumes bound in three quarters red morocco gilt titles and tooling to the spine top edge gilt illustrated with portraits by Sir Joshua Reynolds. In near fine condition. An attractively bound set. Everyone with an interest in Johnson is very much in debt to Boswell not only for the years of devotion he invested in the study of Johnson's life but for the uncanny skill with which he conveyed the quality of Johnson's personality and his effect on the people about him. If there had been no Boswell Johnson would have been one of the most famous names in English literature; but that he has become a household name is due to the chance that brought Boswell into his company Boswell is the sniffing bloodhound who will follow the scent of individuality into whatever territory it leads him. The fascination of their dialogue that dialogue of mind heart and voice round which Boswell organized his great Life is that it is not merely between two very different men but between two epochs. In its pages Romantic Europe speaks to Renaissance Europe and is answered" Wain 229. George Routledge & Sons, Ltd unknown

Carswell Belfast with his ticket on front pastedown; red morocco labels on gilt-paneled spines; minor rubbing and cracking; generally very good sound set. "This edition was edited by Boswell's friend Alexander Chambers. In his Advertisement Chalmers says that at Malone's request he contributed a few notes and corrections to the sixth edition 'and has now added many more as well as some additional particulars.' . His additional notes to this edition are not extensive but are solid and useful" Pottle. Pottle 89. T. Cadell, F.C. & J. Rivington [et al.] unknown
180720232Boston: W. Andrews and L. Blake 1807. First American edition taken from the fifth Malone edition published in London earlier the same year 8vo 3 volumes frontispiece portrait folding "Round Robin" plate folding facsimile of Johnson's handwriting; corner of 9/3 torn with minor loss to a few letters; mild and occasionally moderate foxing throughout else good and sound in recent 1/2 tan calf over blue linen sides.

179923381London: printed by H. Baldwin and Son for Charles Dilly 1799. First Malone edition 4 volumes 8vo pp. xxxi 1 452; 2 490; 2 475; 2 514; engraved frontispiece portrait by Baker after Reynolds folding engraved facsimile of Johnson's handwriting folding engraved Round Robin plate; labels gone on all but the last volume but generally a very good sound copy in contemporary full calf. The second edition was something of a botched effort by Boswell and the result was a book "painfully at variance with his own standards of ordered arrangement" although much new important material was added. It was left to Malone to "shake together" Boswell's second and the third "is now generally regarded as the definitive edition" Pottle. Pottle 82. printed by H. Baldwin and Son for Charles Dilly unknown
183523141London: John Murray 1835. 8vo 10 volumes engraved frontispiece and title-p. in each volume all by Stanfield after Finden original blindstamped brown cloth gilt lettering direct and within blindstamped labels; vol. 1 2 and 10 neatly rebacked; the binding was a dainty one from the start and needs care in handling but the overall appearance is generally very good. This set with the 1835 ownership signature of Charles Kelsall who has penned 14 lines of commentary in vol. 1 and 69 lines in vol. 2 on endpapers and flyleaf all in praise of the good Dr. Johnson. Croker's second edition which was anonymously edited by John Wright. The original Croker edition 1831 in 5 vols. 8vo still stands as a monument of Johnsonian scholarship; but it was badly edited much and famously condemned by Macaulay. Seeing the problem Murray hastily engaged Wright to do a make-over and republished it in 1835. These 1835 plates were later stereotyped and many editions followed those after 1853 under the Bohn imprint to whom Murray had sold the plates. "No matter what the title-pages may say all Crokers in ten volumes small octavo often described as duodecimo are so far as the text is concerned one and the same thing. The number of illustrations varies" Pottle. Pottle 92. John Murray unknown
181125406London: T. Cadell and W. Davies 1811. Last Malone edition 4 volumes 8vo pp. 4 xxxvii 1 464; 2 496; 2 482; 2 530; engraved frontispiece portrait by Baker after Reynolds folding engraved facsimile of Johnson's handwriting folding engraved Round Robin plate; contemporary full mottled calf gilt-decorated spines black morocco labels; front joint on vol. 1 cracked but generally a very good set. "This edition was the one most frequently reprinted in the 19th century and is often spoken of as 'the best of the pre-Crokerian editions'. The more general critical tendency now however seems to be to return to the text of the third as being more nearly that which the author himself approved" Pottle. Pottle 86. T. Cadell and W. Davies unknown
