Books

Originally to comprise nine volumes, this set includes the two supplementary volumes on parliamentary debates. Full tree calf; all edges and endpapers marbled; with superficial crackling to some covers, edges rubbed, top edge dusty, light foxing to first few and final few leaves, and occasionally within. A handsome set, with contents clean; binding and hinges secure.

James Boswell's 'The Life of Samuel Johnson' is regarded as one of the greatest biographies written in the English language. It provides an in-depth and vivid recounting of the life of Samuel Johnson, a writer and critic who was a towering figure in 18th-century British literature.
