Boswell for the Defence 1769-1774

Long title: 
Boswell for the Defence 1769-1774
Author: 
Frederick Albert Pottle
William K. Wimsatt, Jr.
Book description: 

{further description of this volume is forthcoming}

Editions: 

Boswell for the Defence was first published by William Heinemann Ltd. in 1960, and was released in two versions, the standard edition and a limited deluxe edition in 350 numbered copies. The latter is fairly rare to come by, although I have seen it sell for as little as £50 at AbeBooks. It should be possible to find the standard edition for less than £5, also at AbeBooks.

Note: The 1989 play Boswell of the Defence starring Leo McKern does not have anything to do with this volume of Boswell's journals, rather it is a fictionalised account of Boswell taking place in 1793.
