152.[HEBRIDES.] Boswell, Samuel.

Presumed second issue; 8vo, pp. [2], xv, [1], 442; bound without the advertisement leaf; engraved folding map bound in as a frontispiece; b3 is a cancel; C1 is integral; Boswell's Advertisement to the third edition occupies pp. iv-v; the first issue of this edition did not contain the map (see below); this possibly a remboitage binding of full contemporary calf, gilt border on covers, smooth gilt spine with elaborate gilt fillets and floral lozenges, typed paper label over space for old label; but for the label, the book looks nice, and with the map is worthwhile in most any condition. "Though the Life is a vaster and richer piece of work, no one will maintain that it displays Boswell's unique gift for biography better than the Tour. Indeed, most lovers of Boswell will agree that the Tour as a whole, is more consistently good than the Life; that is, that nowhere in the Life could one find so many consecutive first-class pages as those that compose this book ... The Dillys seemed to have overprinted on the third edition, for five years later, when the Life was about to appear, Charles Dilly still had a stock of copies on hand. He resolved to use the reputation of the new work to sell the old, which he hoped to make more attractive by the addition of a map. On April 30, 1791 he advertised the Life in the London Chronicle as to be published 'On Monday the 16th of May', and added, 'At the same time will be published, By Charles Dilly, the Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides ... the 3rd. edit. corrected. To which is now added a Map describing the route of the travellers. N.B. The Map, price 6d. may be had separately to accommodate the purchasers of the former editions' ... Even with the added attraction of the map, the remaining copies seem to have gone off slowly, for as late as the summer of 1799 Dilly was still advertising the edition for sale.  ... This was the last edition of the Tour to be published in Boswell's lifetime." (Pottle). The book published is almost the same as the actual journal that was kept in 1773. When Johnson's death made it possible for Boswell to publish the manuscript, he only added an introduction and a conclusion before giving it to the printer. Pottle, 61
