Book excerpt: Excerpt from Boswell's Correspondence With the Honourable Andrew Erskine, and His Journal of a Tour to Corsica, Reprinted From the Original Ed, Edited With a Pref, 1879 Boswell did not bring out his "Life of Johnson" till he was past his fiftieth year. His "Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides" had appeared more than five years earlier. While it is on these two books that his fame rests, yet to the men of his generation he was chiefly known for his work on Corsica and for his friendship with Paoli. His admiration for Johnson he had certainly proclaimed far and wide. He had long been off, in the words of his father, "wi' the land-louping scoundrel of a Corsican, and had pinned himself to a dominie - an auld dominie who keeped a schule and cau'd it an acaadamy." Nevertheless it was to Corsica and its heroic chief that he owed the position that he undoubtedly held among men of letters. He was Corsica Boswell and Paoli Boswell long before he became famous as Johnson Boswell. It has been shown elsewhere what a spirited thing it was in this young Scotchman to make his way into an island, the interior of which no traveller from this country had ever before visited.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 121 letters in this volume were exchanged between James Boswell and twenty-six correspondents between 1760 and 1763. The letters, all but one written after Boswell’s first brief escapade in London, concern the period up to and including his second momentous visit there in 1763. During this period Boswell savors the delights of London’s high life and low, first meets Samuel Johnson, and publishes his first book-length work, a facetious collection of letters between him and his mercurial fellow Scot, Andrew Erskine--a publication that his dismayed father, Lord Auchinleck, considers embarrassing and ill-advised. Young Boswell corresponds with Irish elocutionist Thomas Sheridan (father of the playwright, and Boswell’s most important mentor before Johnson), William McQuhae (later an eminent figure in the Scottish church), the rakish aristocrat Alexander Montgomerie, 10th Earl of Eglinton, and other notables. Together these letters set the context in which Boswell writes his most compelling and popular piece of autobiographical writing, the London Journal, 1762-1763.

This book was released on 1993 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the second and final volume of James Boswell’s general correspondence for the years 1766 to 1769. The richly diverse collection includes the texts of letters between Boswell and 123 correspondents, beginning when Boswell was in the early years of his legal career in Edinburgh and closing shortly after his marriage to his penniless Ayrshire cousin, Margaret Montgomerie. The volume includes a comprehensive analytical index to both volumes of Boswell’s general correspondence between 1766 and 1769. The correspondence touches on many topics and issues, some public, some private, including Boswell’s patronage of an obscure struggling playwright and poet, William Julius Mick≤ the publication and reception of Boswell’s highly successful Account of Corsica and his efforts to rouse British interest in the Corsican cause; and the aftermath of Boswell’s vigorous legal and journalistic involvement in the Douglas Cause. Letters to and from his European correspondents carry echoes of Boswell’s recently completed Grand Tour and the closing moments of his epistolary affair with the francophone Dutch author, Belle de Zuylen (Z�lide).

This book was released on 1993 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The correspondence in this edition begins in February 1766 with Boswell's return from the Grand Tour and ends in December 1769, shortly after his marriage to Margaret Montgomerie. The major events in Boswell's life during these four years are his involvement with Corsica and the Corsicans' heroic fight for independence, culminating in the publication of his Account of Corsica; his becoming an advocate and his first law causes; and his search for a wife. Among Boswell's correspondents in these volumes are William Pitt the Elder; George Keith, the 10th and last Earl Marischal of Scotland; Jean-Jacques Rousseau; Zelide, the beautiful Dutch bluestocking; Edward and Charles Dilly, publishers; and the engraver Robert Strange. Here, also, are letters to and from tradesmen, farmers, even felons. Historians will find a vast array of subjects illuminated: eighteenth-century politics, religion, landownership, high and low life, domestic life, crime, law, agriculture, theatre, gender, and philosophy. The correspondence in this volume sheds light in particular on Britain's relations with the Continent, India, and North America. The volume offers literary scholars an idea of the literary tastes of the time and a rare glimpse into the world of publishing and bookselling, literary hacks and their search for patronage.
