With these two volumes Princeton University Press concludes the
first scholarly edition of the letters of Samuel Johnson to appear
in forty years. Volume IV chronicles the last three years of
Johnson's life, an epistolary endgame that includes the breakup of
the friendship with Hester Thrale and a poignant reaching out to
new friends and new experiences. Volume V includes not only the
comprehensive index but those undated letters that cannot
confidently be assigned to a specific year, "ghost" letters (those
whose existence is documented in other sources), three letters that
have recently been recovered, and translations of Johnson's letters
in Latin. Originally published in 1994. The Princeton Legacy
Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make
available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished
backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the
original texts of these important books while presenting them in
durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton
Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly
heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton
University Press since its founding in 1905.
