Boswell’s London Journal (Folio Society Edition) – James Boswell

The candid, long-lost diary of a young James Boswell chronicles his eventful nine-month adventure in London, 1762-1763. At twenty-two, Boswell details his quest for a military commission, his personal struggles, and his frank encounters with both the city’s high- and low-life, including a colorful Covent Garden actress. Witty and utterly confessional, this journal provides an unparalleled, vivid snapshot of Georgian London and documents the life-changing first meeting with the great man he would later immortalize: Samuel Johnson.
