About this book
An edition of nine volumes dated 1825 gathers the writings of Samuel Johnson, and this is the first, labelled Life, Poems, and Tales. It opens with an editors' advertisement that sets out the plan: an accurate text, short notes meant to warn readers off political errors, and Murphy's Essay on Johnson's life and genius. The editors also say they print all of his sermons, where earlier editions gave only one or two. Johnson, who lived from 1709 to 1784, compiled the Dictionary of the English Language.
