Johnson also significantly altered styles of travel and biographical writing.

"One of Western literature's most germinal achievements: unprecedented in its time in its depth of research and its extensive use of private correspondence and recorded conversation."

Octavo (23 cm); 5 volumes. Extra-illustrated with 197 (give or take) black-and-white engravings (some folding) and 16 color stipple engravings including portraits, facsimiles, scenes, and a map. Handsomely re-cased in 20th-century tan buckram with leather labels on spines titled in gilt. Some offsetting onto text pages from opposing plates, but otherwise the text is in excellent condition. Boswell's Life of Samuel Johnson is a book that names names. Johnson, during his long life, came into contact with virtually everyone in British society who left a footprint, and Boswell names them all. John Wilson Croker's edition of Boswell's great biography-offered here in its initial printing-inspired something of a fashion for collectors to gather up printed portraits of the figures named in the biography, and have them bound into their copies of Croker's Boswell opposite the pages where the figure is named or discussed. The majority of the portraits, scenes, facsimiles, and maps in this copy date from the first quarter of the 19th century, while a few were printed in the late 1700s and the most recent ones date from the 1840s. Celebrity portraits include those of Johnson, Boswell, Hester Lynch Piozzi, Richardson, Rousseau, Sterne, Catherine the Great, Leibnitz, Byron, Swift, Joseph Banks, Voltaire, Madame de Sévigné, Captain Cook, Thomas Gray, John Donne, Adam Smith, Walter Scott, Joseph Addison, Thomas Brown, Montaigne, Drake, Milton, and many, many, many others.

Leather. Zustand: Very Good Indeed. Not Stated (illustrator). A lovely ten volume edition of Boswell's life of Johnson, in half morocco bindings, and illustrated throughout. An attractively bound ten volume edition of this work by James Boswell, featuring additions from J. Wilson Croker and John Wright.Illustrated with an engraved title page and frontispiece to all volumes aside from volume IX, which has a frontispiece only, and with five plates to volume I, two of which are folding; four to volume II, two of which are folding; two to volume III, one of which is folding; two to volume IV; two to volume V; two to volume VI, one of which is folding; four to volume VII, two of which are folding; three to volume VIII, one of which is folding; two plates to volume IX, one of which is folding, and two folding plates to volume X.Collated, lacking only an engraved title page, to volume IX.Whilst Boswell's personal acquaintance with his subject began in 1763, when Johnson was fifty four years old, Boswell covered the entirety of Johnson's life by means of additional research. The most admired and best remembered portions of the book are Boswell's first-hand accounts of Johnson from the last twenty-one years of the subject's life.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.With the inscription of G. Bell to the front free endpaper of each volume. In half calf bindings, with marbled paper covered boards. Gilt detailing to back strip. Externally, very smart, with rubbing to centre of front board of volume X. Inscription to head of front free endpaper. Internally, firmly bound. Pages bright and generally clean, with only the odd spot. Very Good Indeed. book.
