The Life of Johnson (miniature) is a compact yet distinguished presentation of James Boswell’s celebrated biography of Samuel Johnson, one of the great figures of 18th-century English literature. Though reduced in size, the miniature edition preserves the wit, intellect, and vivid character portraits that make Boswell’s work a landmark in biographical writing. Often finely bound and delicately printed, it captures the intimacy of Boswell’s close observations while offering collectors a charming, portable tribute to literary friendship and genius.
