Life with Boswell:
Boswell first met George Home at Home's father Lord Kames, where Boswell was all giddiness. (LJ020163) On January 1, 1763, however, George Home expressed how, when visiting Boswell in his Downing Street lodgings, he "was astonished to find [Boswell] settled on so prudent a plan". They met a few other times during Boswell's 1762-3 London stay as well.
