From the Dust Jacket: " This journal opens with nights of gnawing anxiety, the threat of a duel, and feverish testing of honour. His days in Edinburgh and his successful legal practice alternate with periods of indolence that are darkened by hypochondria His love of gaming and drink becomes a rage More than half of the book is occupied with long stretches of his London journals. Most of the time is spent with Johnson, and the records of his conversations, from which the LIFE OF JOHNSON was taken, are delightful And at the last, there is the scene of flattery and intrigue that completes the story of Boswell the lover his interview with Margaret Caroline Rudd, adventuress, courtesan, criminal. No specimen of Boswell's art shows greater finesse and adroitness Here is the account of one who hungered to know himself, the whole story of a man with feeling -- his passions and pleasures, his hard work and meditation, and his sympathy and despair.". First Edition (so stated). Hardcover. Very Good+ condition/Very Good+ dust jacket. 8vo. xxiv, 427pp.

The arrangement of the numbering of the slip-cases varies slightly from the order in which each volume originally appeared. Portraits by Sir Joshua Reynolds - somewhat awkwardly issued as the third volume of the series - appears as the slip-cased volume 14. A unique set, presenting a striking appearance on the shelf.
