Boswell's London Journal 1762-63


James Boswell


William Heinemann 1951

Binding:  Hardback  |  Condition: Good  | 

From the Yale Editions of Boswell's Private papers: Boswell's journal, written during a year in London whilst 22, that was only found much later and published in 1950. Interesting for containing his first meeting with Samuel Johnson and for the recorded conversations, which were sometime salacious, not least when he confronts his mistress over his catching a venereal disease. With maps to end-papers. Frontisportrait. 8vo. Toning to spine. Mild shelf-wear. Contents clean and tight. Good.
