"The Letters of Samuel Johnson" contains 52 previously unknown
letters or parts of letters which have come to light since R.W.
Chapman's work on the subject, published in 1952. For the first
time, substantive deletions are recorded, yielding intimate
knowledge of Johnson's stylistic procedures, mental habits and
chains of association. Furthermore, detailed ownership credits
document the current disposition of the manuscripts, hundreds of
which have changed hands during the last four decades. Finally, the
annotation of the letters incorporates the many significant
discoveries of post-war Johnsonian scholarship, as well as decoding
references that had resisted explanation before.
