In addition to his grand works (Corsica, the Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides, the Life of Johnson), James Boswell wrote many lesser works, some of them purely for the benefit of himself and his friends, others for publication in various more or less obscure books or magazines. Many of these are or will be made available online at jamesboswell.info.

Did you know?

For most of his adult life Boswell was better known for his "Account of Corsica", which lead to the sobriquet Corsica Boswell, than for his friendship with Dr. Johnson.
