Hardcover. Condición: Good+. READ FULL DESCRIPTION! Complete 10 volume set, handsomely bound in half red leather and marbeled boards, raised bands and stamped gilt floral design on spine, red marbeled edges and endpapers, ca. 4 1 /2 x 7 inches, well illustrated. Good+. All 10 have previous owner's bookplate, text starting to age tan, mainly along margins, corners rubbed, with the cardboard exposed there and at spots along the edges, leather somewhat dry, rubbed along the joints and a few other places (nothing too severe) , with some "crazing" along the spine, and the gilt rubbing off, original title labels vanished, leaving a red leather stamped underlayment. The heads of vols 3, 6 through 10 are chipped, with the top panel of the spine torn at the seam. Vols 1, 4 & 5 have the boards detached, with the leather off the spine (remnants laid in and/or partially attached). All that being said, the set is nice overall, tight, clean, paper crisp, unmarked and apparently never read, and priced to make a bit of restoration well worth the effort! Biography; travel; Victorian.

Cloth. Condición: Good. Not Stated Ilustrador. James Boswell's famous biography of Samuel Johnson in ten volumes, featuring illustrations and valuable additions. Complete in ten volumes. Celebrated work of Scottish biographer James Boswell, often described as one of the greatest English biographies of all time.With engraved frontispiece and additional engraved title page to each volume as well as twenty-eight further plates, including views, portraits, facsimiles, &c. Some folding. Complete with half titles.Including 'A Journal of his Tour to the Hebrides, Tour in Wales, Correspondence with Mrs Thrale, &c.' With additions and notes by the Right Hon J Wilson Croker, revised and enlarged under his direction by John Wright.Samuel Johnson was an English author, well-known in the literary world for his many lasting contributions to various areas of humanist art, including poetry, essay-writing, biography, and more. He is described by the 'Oxford Dictionary of National Biographies' as the most distinguished man of letters in English history.This biography is notable for its extensive reports of Johnson's conversation, compiled through Boswell's acquaintance of Johnson since 1763. Originally published in 1791. In the original publisher's uniform full cloth binding with decorative embossing to boards and spine, gilt lettering to spine. Externally with light bumping to head and tail of spine and extremities, back strip faded, damp marking to boards. Bookseller embossed stamp to front free endpaper. Internally, firmly bound.

Leather. Condición: Very Good Indeed. Not Stated Ilustrador. A lovely ten volume edition of Boswell's life of Johnson, in half morocco bindings, and illustrated throughout. An attractively bound ten volume edition of this work by James Boswell, featuring additions from J. Wilson Croker and John Wright.Illustrated with an engraved title page and frontispiece to all volumes aside from volume IX, which has a frontispiece only, and with five plates to volume I, two of which are folding; four to volume II, two of which are folding; two to volume III, one of which is folding; two to volume IV; two to volume V; two to volume VI, one of which is folding; four to volume VII, two of which are folding; three to volume VIII, one of which is folding; two plates to volume IX, one of which is folding, and two folding plates to volume X.Collated, lacking only an engraved title page, to volume IX.Whilst Boswell's personal acquaintance with his subject began in 1763, when Johnson was fifty four years old, Boswell covered the entirety of Johnson's life by means of additional research. The most admired and best remembered portions of the book are Boswell's first-hand accounts of Johnson from the last twenty-one years of the subject's life.A landmark work in the development of the modern biography in English, many have claimed this to be the greatest biography ever written. Nevertheless, this biography takes many critical liberties with Johnson's life, with Boswell making various changes to Johnson's quotations and even censoring his comments.With the inscription of G. Bell to the front free endpaper of each volume. In half calf bindings, with marbled paper covered boards. Gilt detailing to back strip. Externally, very smart, with rubbing to centre of front board of volume X. Inscription to head of front free endpaper. Internally, firmly bound. Pages bright and generally clean, with only the odd spot. Very Good Indeed. book.
