Sadly, none of the primary contributors to the catalogue, including the main author, Mrs. Pottle, lived to see the work published. When it was finally published in 1993, Mrs. Pottle had been dead for little under a year, her husband for six years and Claude C. Abbott for 22 years(!).

Availability: 

The complete catalogue is not difficult to find, but it is expensive and seldom available for less than £220 in used condition via AbeBooks.

On his Grand Tour of Europe in 1764-1765, Boswell visited and befriended the famous philosophers Jean-Jacques Rosseau and François-Marie Arouet (Voltaire), and back in Edinburgh he was a personal friend of David Hume.
