Publisher's Synopsis
Boswell's Correspondence with Andrew Erskine, and His Journal of a Tour to Corsica is a book that was published in 1879. It is a collection of letters and journal entries written by James Boswell, a Scottish lawyer, diarist, and biographer. The book is divided into two parts: the first part contains Boswell's correspondence with Andrew Erskine, a friend and fellow lawyer, while the second part is a journal of Boswell's travels to Corsica.In the correspondence with Erskine, Boswell discusses a wide range of topics, including his legal career, his personal life, and his literary ambitions. He also shares his thoughts on politics and society, and provides insights into the intellectual and cultural life of 18th-century Scotland.The second part of the book is Boswell's journal of his travels to Corsica in 1765. At the time, Corsica was a relatively unknown and isolated island, and Boswell's account of his journey provides a fascinating glimpse into its culture, history, and people. He describes his encounters with Corsican leaders and rebels, and his observations on their struggle for independence from Genoa.Overall, Boswell's Correspondence with Andrew Erskine, and His Journal of a Tour to Corsica is a valuable historical document that offers a unique perspective on the life and times of one of Scotland's most famous literary figures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
