    Extractions: Best remembered today as friend and biographer of Dr Samuel Johnson, Boswell was an extraordinary figure of eighteenth-century society. Vain yet good-natured, foolish yet charming, he was also conceited and a hypochondriac with a drinking problem. He forced himself upon eminent people, and bragged about the great men he knew. David Hume thought him a bit crazy. Yet for years Boswell moved in the same circles as Sheridan, Goldsmith, Rousseau, Voltaire and Walpole. And he was an inveterate notetaker. Boswell, born in Edinburgh, was the son of Alexander Boswell, an advocate who some years later was elevated to the bench of the Court of Session and took the judicial title of Lord Auchinleck, after the family estate in Ayrshire. At the University young James studied law but his heart was never in it - to his father's irritation he preferred high life in London and travel in Europe. In London, Boswell ("Bozzy" to all his friends) shamelessly badgered his contacts for an introduction to Dr Johnson.When they eventually met in 1763, the two men rapidly became friends. From the very first, the young Scot made notes of the great man's conversation, Johnson encouraging him to do so.

    Extractions: I imagine the first question anyone will ask is what is a column called "Scottish Flotsam". I guess we will have to begin with what is "flotsam". Among the definitions of the word are "things washed ashore" or "miscellaneous trifles". Well, we believe you can find some great treasure on the ocean shore. But you will never know what you will find or its value. So we decided that is what this column is - flotsam. We wanted a place to put things that didn't fit anywhere else and might be of interest. Each item could be a column itself and might be some day but for now it will be the flotsam, which washes our way. Lets begin with a famous Scot. James Boswell (1740-1795) Boswell was born in Edinburgh on 29th October 1740, the eldest son of Alexander and Euphemia Boswell. His father was an Ayrshire laird and advocate who, on appointment to the Court of Session in 1754, took the judicial title of Lord Auchinleck. Boswell studied at Edinburgh and Glasgow Universities, his father intending him for a career as an advocate, although his own ambitions were for a literary or a military career. He ran off to London in 1760 and was received into the Roman Catholic church. He was persuaded that this James Boswell conversion, which would have precluded public office or professional advancement, was unwise and after a taste of the wilder side of London life returned home to his studies and continuing tension with his father. Eventually, in 1762, he was permitted to pay an extended visit to London, where he made full use of his freedom, overindulging in drink and sex. However in Davies's bookshop in May 1763 he met the man who was to become the central figure in his life - Samuel Johnson. Their opening conversation was unpromising:

    Extractions: On this day in 1795 James Boswell died, aged fifty-four. Even without his two-decade relationship to Samuel Johnson and the famous books which came from it, Boswell would have a secure place in literary history. This is due to the remarkable stash of journals, letters and personal papers which he kept, and which friends, relatives and negligence kept from the world for over a century. Boswell, Johnson, London On this day in 1762 James Boswell left Edinburgh for London, beginning the eight-and-a-half-month stay that would be recorded in his London Journal , and earn him a reputation as one of the great British diarists. From Boswell's account of his first meeting with The Great Cham: "Mr. Johnson, indeed I come from Scotland, but I cannot help it." "Sir, that, I find, is what a great many of your countrymen cannot help."

    Extractions: This was, and is, Boswell's masterpiece and undoubtedly one of the greatest biographies, if not books, ever written. The first edition was published on May 16, 1791 in two volumes quarto. A supplementary volume was added in 1794, to be followed almost immediately by a second edition in three volumes octavo,which did not properly incorporate the additional material. The third edition, with all the new materials finally included in their proper places, was completed by Edmond Malone after Boswell's death and published in four volumes octavo in 1799, but it is the fourth edition, published in 1804 under Malone's personal supervision, which is generally accepted as the first accurate and comprehensive version. Malone (1741 - 1812) was a friend of both Johnson and Boswell and a member of The Club. He was the first great Shakespearean editor and also helped Boswell considerably with the preparation of both The Tour of the Hebrides and the Life The next edition of note was the famous, or infamous, one produced by Croker in 1831 and excoriated by Macaulay in one of his much re-printed essays. Then came the attractive Napier edition of 1884, which added to the four volumes of the

He was educated by private tutors until he started at Edinburgh High School. His father redirected many of his son's interests. For example, James became interested in Catholicism, but remained a Presbyterian as his father wished. James also wanted to enter the army, but was dissuaded from doing so by his father. From 1753 to 1758, Boswell studied arts and then law at the University of Glasgow. He is known to have studied with Adam Smith. As early as 1758, he was keeping a journal and had been published in several periodicals. Boswell was known to spend most of his time socializing with army officers and young actors. He contracted gonorrhea from one of many female acquaintances and is known to have fathered at least one child, who died one year after his birth. Boswell moved from London back to Scotland in 1761 and studied law in a supervised setting at home. In 1762, he returned to London. In 1763, he met Samuel Johnson, the greatest influence on his life, and, while studying at the University of Utrecht, met Voltaire and Rousseau.

    Extractions: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback James Boswell (1740-1795) Scottish lawyer, essayist, known for his two-volume biography THE LIFE OF SAMUEL JOHNSON, LL.D (1791), published seven years after the death of its subject. Boswell met Samuel Johnson in May 1763 in Davies's London bookshop and the two became fast friends. He recorded in detail Johnson's words and activities in a relatively short period. Later the historian Thomas Macaulay (1800-1859) called Boswell's worship of Dr. Johnson " Lues Boswelliana , or disease of admiration." "We cannot tell the precise moment when a friendship is formed. As in filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at last a drop which makes it run over; so in a series of kindness there is at last one which makes the heart run over." (from Life of Johnson James Boswell was born in Edinburgh the son of Alexander Boswell, Lord Auchinleck, who was a judge in the supreme courts of Scotland. Boswell's mother, Euphemia Erskine, was descended from a minor branch of Scottish royalty. His family had had for two-and-a-half centuries as its seat the estate of Auchinleck in Ayrshire. Near the new mansion were the ruins of the Old Castle, which he eagerly showed to Johnson and other friends. Much of his life Boswell was plagued by his mother's suffocating Calvinism and his father's coldness. In one of his journals Boswell wrote: "I do not recollect having had any other valuable principle impressed upon me by my father except a strict regard for truth, which he impressed upon my mind by a hearty beating at an early age when I lied, and then talking of the
