1883 The Life of Samuel Johnson, LL.D. Including A Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides
What Our Customers Say...
Description
Illustrated, Leather Binding
With volume I containing volumes I and II; volume II containing volumes III and IV, and volume III containing volume V.
With a frontispiece and vignette illustrated title page to volumes I-V, and a further general title page to volumes I, III and V, along with numerous further vignette illustrations throughout.
A landmark work in the development of the modern biography in English, many have claimed this to be the greatest biography ever written. Nevertheless, this biography takes many critical liberties with Johnson's life, with Boswell making various changes to Johnson's quotations and even censoring his comments.
Undated; dated via WorldCat.
Condition
In half calf bindings with cloth covered boards, and gilt detailing to back strips. Externally, lovely. Volume I hinges starting, with boards holding firm. Internally, firmly bound. Pages clean and bright.
Very Good
