Peerless Old Boswell!
Boswell’s Life of Johnson. Croker’s Edition, in 4 volumes, large 12mo, cloth, $2.75 ($1.25)
“The richest dictionary of wit and wisdom any language can boast of. Enlarged and illuminated by the researches and sagacious running criticism of Mr. Croker, it is, without doubt—excepting a few immortal monuments of creative genius—that book which would be most prized in other days and countries by the students of ‘us and our history.’”—London Quarterly Review.
“We cannot believe that any subsequent improvement will ever be made upon this edition; and we have no doubt that it will excite the curiosity and reward the attention of the reading world.”—North Am. Review.
