The Life of Samuel Johnson is James Boswell's biography of the great lexicographer, presented here in the Heritage Press three-volume edition of 1963. Each volume comes in its individual illustrated slipcase.

Boswell's Life is one of the greatest biographies in the English language, and Mrs. Piozzi's annotations add a second voice to the narrative: sometimes agreeing with Boswell, sometimes indignant, always illuminating. A distinguished presentation of an essential work.

Three tan cloth hardcover volumes with red gilt-lettered spine labels; individual marbled slipcases. Volumes clean and tight; slipcases show light wear. Please review all photos carefully, and email me with any questions.
