Jacket edges heavily rubbed, multiple chips to jacket edges, jacket heavily toned. 1952 Hard Cover. xix, 433 pp. "During his stay in Holland, Boswell kept his journal faithfully, but most of it was lost in his own lifetime and has never been recovered, Fortunately, the loss was not irreparable, for in this period Boswell carried on an extensive correspondence with his friends, and addressed to himself each morning a memorandum which soon came to include a review of the actions of the day before. ...Professor Pottle has skillfully presented in this volume a selection of them arranged in chronological sequence, so that, together, they give a full account of all that Boswell did and thought and was at this time." "James Boswell, 9th Laird of Auchinleck (29 October 1740 – 19 May 1795), was a Scottish biographer and diarist, born in Edinburgh. He is best known for the biography he wrote of one of his contemporaries, the English literary figure Samuel Johnson, which the modern Johnsonian critic Harold Bloom has claimed is the greatest biography written in the English language.
