Items related to Boswell's Life Of Johnson Vol. 1
The writer of the latest account of the life-work of Sir Joshua Reynolds, in order to define at the start the purpose and scope of his undertaking, has said that Reynolds was Boswelled by Leslie and Taylor in their work on his Life and Times, and this may be taken to mean that nothing possessing the charm of their volumes can be placed in our hands again. The first President of the Royal Academy was the central figure of a very large circle indeed, and there proved when he died to be material for volumes appealing not to painters alone and their lovers, but to generations of men, his successors, whose numbers cannot be computed. There is no thought in my mind, however, of comparing the authors of Reynolds slife with Boswell.
