About this book

Notes, sayings and anecdotes gathered by James Boswell fill this commonplace book, a private collection of jottings. The Rev. Charles Rogers edited it with a memoir and annotations, and Lord Houghton contributed introductory remarks. It was printed for the Grampian Club in 1874.

Boswell is best known as the biographer of Samuel Johnson. The volume opens with a long list of the club's members, headed by the Prince of Wales as patron, and a sketch of Boswell by Langton serves as a frontispiece.
