With an engraved and illustrated title-page featuring Johnson and Boswell strolling through London, and with 54 additional full-page engravings throughout as well as a map at the rear endleaves featurin…g the journey of Boswell and Johnson to Scotland and the Hebrides. Thick royal 8vo, handsomely bound in the publisher's polished grained cloth, the spine lettered in gilt, the upper cover with a gilt illustrative device showing Boswell and Johnson strolling with one another, top edge gilt. xx, 609 pp. A very fine copy of this edition, beautifully preserved and in a very pleasing condition, a tight, clean and crisp copy, the text and plates all bright and especially fresh, the binding strong, solid and very attractive, virtually pristine. A VERY HANDSOME COPY OF TWO OF THE GREAT BOOKS OF THE AGE BOUND TOGETHER INTO THIS FAMOUS PRESENTATION WITH ILLUSTRATIONS BY ERNEST SHEPARD, SIGNED BY HIM. Celebrated for its intimacy and vividness, Boswell's Life of Johnson "is one of the best books in the world. It is assuredly a great, very great work. Homer is not more decidedly the first of heroic Poets,--Shakespeare is not more decidedly the first of Dramatists,--Demosthenes is not more decidedly the first of Orators, than Boswell is the first of Biographers." (Macauley, in the Edinburgh Review, 1831). Boswell learned a great deal about the art of biography from his subject, and brought to his task boundless curiosity, persistence, and zest. The tour proved to be inspirational for both men. Johnson published A JOURNEY TO THE WESTERN ISLANDS OF SCOTLAND in 1775 and Boswell, in addition to this work, used his notes from the tour extensively in his LIFE OF JOHNSON, published in 1791. "As a narrative of personal adventures, Boswell's account is to be preferred to Johnson's. Naturally such a work, as was true of everything concerning Dr. Johnson, aroused great interest, which was heightened by Boswell's frankness in expressing opinions about his hosts as well as by his naiveté in relating incidents that did not reflect credit to himself" (Cox). This is a very handsomely bound and readable copy of these two masterworks.

First edition, first impression, of Shepard's profusely illustrated edition. Everybody's Boswell was the second in a series of three popular abridgements of historical works; the immediate success of Everybody's Pepys in 1926 led to this version of Boswell, which was followed by Everybody's Lamb in 1933. All were illustrated by…Shepard with rich attention to period detail. This copy, with its elaborate pictorial onlay, is decorated in the "Kelliegram" style, one of the many innovations of the English commercial binding firm Kelly & Sons. The Kelly family's bindery was an established part of the London trade. It was founded in 1770 by John Kellie (as the name was then spelled) and carried on by successive family members into the 1930s. Octavo (190 x 124 mm). 54 plates, folding map at rear, illustrated title page, all by E. H. Shepard. Contemporary binding of green morocco by Rivière, spine decorated and lettered in gilt in compartments, gilt decorative frames to covers enclosing multicolour onlay morocco illustration to front cover, gilt central tool to rear, gilt turn-ins, marbled endpapers, edges gilt. Housed in a custom green cloth slipcase. Spine a touch sunned, gilt central tool to rear a little rubbed, small mark to rear free endpaper. A near-fine copy.
