1871. A collection of verse by the eldest son of Johnson's
biographer, who inherited his father's love of literature. Some of
the selections contained in this volume are His Taste Life's Glad
Moments and Paddy O'Rafferty, which are still well known; as well
as his most characteristic pieces being his humorous vernacular
sketches and songs, such as Skeldon Haughs or the Sow flitted,
Jenny's Bawbee and Jenny Dang the Weaver, and the singularly
realistic domestic quarrel and reconciliation detailed in The East
Neuk of Fife. Also included is his The New Whig Song, which after
being published in The Glasgow Sentinel, led to a challenge from
James Stuart, of Dunearn. In the ensuing duel Boswell was fatally
wounded.
