BOSWELL, James.

The Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides, with Samuel Johnson, LL. D. … Containing some poetical Pieces by Dr. Johnson, relative to the Tour and never before published; a Series of his Conversation, literary Anecdotes, and Opinions of Men and Books: with an authentick Account of the Distresses and Escape of the Grandson of King James II. in the Year 1746 …

First edition. The text of the Journal was largely completed in 1773 from the diary Boswell kept while travelling in Scotland; publication was, however, delayed until after Johnson’s death. The advertisement for Boswell’s Life of Johnson on the errata leaf announces that the book is ‘preparing for the press’; it would not in fact be published for another six years. This copy is in Pottle’s second state, with the corrections to I5, Q7, and U6; E4, M4, and presumably E3 are cancels as usual.
