Description

A fully annotated Research Edition volume of James Boswell's journalsThe journals covered by the volume record much of Boswell's life as a young advocate during the first few years of his practice at the Scottish bar.

The journals also record much information about Boswell's composition and publication of his instant best-seller, Account of Corsica, his involvement as a volunteer for the Douglas camp in the great Douglas Cause and his search for a wife.

During Boswell's visits to London and Oxford in 1768, he produced some of his finest journal-writing, including details of memorable and significant conversations with Samuel Johnson.

The manuscript journals in the volume have been printed to correspond to the originals as closely as is feasible in the medium of print.
