Catalogue Note
RARE. THE AUTHOR'S FINAL PUBLICATION. This work is usually found bound with copies of the first edition of the Life of Johnson. It was published simultaneously with the second edition and was intended as a supplement for owners of the first edition, providing the additional material with which the new edition had been augmented. This mostly comprised letters and anecdotes that had been supplied to Boswell after the publication of the Life.
