SAMUEL JOHNSON, LL.D. TOGETHER WITH A JOURNAL OF A TOUR TO THE HEBRIDES BY JAMES BOSWELL ΤΟ WHICH A REPRINT OF THE FIRST EDITION ARE ADDED MR. BOSWELL'S CORRECTIONS AND ADDITIONS, ISSUED EDITED WITH NEW NOTES BY PERCY FITZGERALD, M.A., F.S.A. IN THREE VOLUMES: VOL. I. SECOND EDITION WITH A PREFACE BY THE EDITOR, AND A BOSWELL H. R. TEDDER, F.S. A. LONDON: GEORGE ALLEN & UNWIN LTD. RUSKIN HOUSE, 40 MUSEUM STREET, W.C. 1 TO THOMAS CARLYLE, Esq. DEAR MR. CARLYLE. You were kind enough to encourage me to under. take the task of restoring the text of Mr. Boswell's great Biography: and, in addition, have allowed me to inscribe the work, now completed, to you. That my humble labour will be found worthy of such encouragement, I will not venture to affirm: but it has, at least, been directed by a reverential feeling, and, above all, is conceived in the spirit of that admirable view of Boswell's work and character which you gave to the world many years ago. PERCY FITZGERALD. |
