In making this abridgement of Boswell s Life of Johnson I have omitted most of Boswell s criticisms, comments, and notes, all of Johnson s opinions in legal cases, most of the letters, and parts of the conversation dealing with matters which were of greater importance in Boswell s day than now. I have kept in mind an old habit, common enough, I dare say, among its devotees, of opening the book of random, and reading wherever the eye falls upon a passage of especial interest. All such passages, I hope, have been retained, and enough of the whole book to illustrate all the phases of Johnson s mind and of his time which Boswell observed. Loyal Johnsonians may look upon such a book with a measure of scorn. I could not have made it, had I not believed that it would be the means of drawing new readers to Boswell, and eventually of finding for them in the complete work what many have already found days and years of growing enlightenment and happy companionship, and an innocent refuge from the cares and perturbations of life. Phillips Brooks once told the boys at Exeter that in reading biography three men meet one another in close intimacy the subject of the biography, the author, and the reader. Of the three the most interesting is, of course, the man about whom the book is written. The most privileged is the reader, who is thus allowed to live familiarly with an eminent man. Least regarded of the three is the author. It is his part to introduce the others, and to develop between them an acquaintance, perhaps a friendship, while he, though ever busy and solicitous, withdraws into the background.

This edition includes the following editor's analysis: "The Life of Samuel Johnson,” an ode to friendship and admiration by James Boswell First published in 1791, “The Life of Samuel Johnson” is a biography of English writer Samuel Johnson written by his friend and admirer James Boswell. Boswell’s biography is considered by many scholars to be one of the finest pieces of biographical writing in the English language. Boswell was acquainted with Samuel Johnson during his life but did not publish the work until seven years after Johnson’s death. The work was from the beginning a critical and popular success and represents a landmark in the development of the modern genre of biography. Later research has shown that Boswell took liberties with some of Johnson’s quotations and censored important incidents from his biography. However, the level of detail included in the work makes it a valuable resource on Samuel Johnson and the eighteenth century.

Charming, vibrant, witty and edifying, The Life of Samuel Johnson is a work of great obsession and boundless reverence. The literary critic Samuel Johnson first encountered James Boswell at the age of 54; the friendship that developed spawned one of the greatest biographies in the history of world literature. The book is full of humorous anecdote and rich characterization, and paints a vivid picture of 18th-century London, peopled by prominent personalities of the time such as Sir Joshua Reynolds, John Wilkes, Oliver Goldsmith and David Garrick, while also giving a compelling insight into Johnsons complex humanity his depression, fear of death, intellectual brilliance and rough humor.
