Dr Samuel Johnson (1709-84) is regarded as one of the outstanding
figures of English literature, as a poet, essayist, moralist,
critic, biographer, editor and lexicographer. This collected
edition of his works - commissioned by the publisher within hours
of Johnson's death, such was his celebrity - was published in 1787
in eleven volumes, edited by his literary executor, the
musicologist Sir John Hawkins. Volume 10 contains a mixture of
items - political tracts on taxation and current affairs;
miscellaneous short works including book reviews and papers on
agriculture, French prisoners of war, and the building of
Blackfriars' Bridge; and A Journey to the Western Islands of
Scotland. These show the range of his interests and the ease with
which he could turn his pen to any topic.
