Sobre este artículo
London: Heinemann, 1950. 1st. h/b. Very good, 1st thus edition, unclipped d/j (poor, split and bumped), blue boards, gilt spine titling, text block firm, pages crisp and unmarked (top edge blue, some foxing on edges). Owner's neat inscription on ffep.. 8vo (230 x 150 / 9"" x 6""). Boswell's own account of his first year in London written when he was twenty-two years old. His actions are extravagant, but his reflections are shrewd. And he is never so thoughtlessly excitable, so over-stimulated by wine, feminine society, the bustle and glare of a crowded urban pleasure-garden that he fails to render an exact and brilliantly detailed account of the London scene beneath his eyes - whether it be the drawing-room of Northumberland House, or the prison-yard at Newgate, the blood and noise of a cock-fight or the solemn seclusion of Samuel Johnson's chambers. To read Boswell's London Journal is almost to hear him say to us. 'This, gentlemen, is what it was like to be young, and in love, and in London, in the great days of Samuel Johnson, Oliver Goldsmith, David Garrick, and Sir Joshua Reynolds'.
