Boswelliana

Boswelliana is a collection of notes, quotes, and personal reflections compiled by James Boswell, a Scottish biographer and diarist who is best known for his famous biography of Samuel Johnson. The book is essentially a commonplace book, a type of personal journal that was popular in the 18th and 19th centuries, in which Boswell recorded his thoughts, observations, and literary musings.The book is divided into several sections, each of which covers a different topic. For example, there are sections devoted to literature, history, philosophy, and religion. Within each section, Boswell includes a wide range of material, including quotes from famous authors, his own reflections on various topics, and even some poetry.In addition to the commonplace book itself, the book also includes a memoir of Boswell's life, written by his son, as well as annotations that provide additional context and commentary on the material included in the book.Overall, Boswelliana is a fascinating glimpse into the mind of one of the most famous writers of the 18th century. It provides a unique window into Boswell's thoughts, interests, and literary tastes, and is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of literature and intellectual life in the 18th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
