The Life of Samuel Johnson, LL. D. : Including a Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides a New Edition. With Numerous Additions and Notes, by John Wilson Croker, LL. D.F. R.S. (Five Volumes, Complete)

London: John Murray, 1831. First Edition. First Printing. Leather. First edition thus. Bound in half brown calf over brown linen boards, spine in six compartments separated by raised bands, gilt lettering and borders in three compartments, gilt borders in remainder and on covers, t.e.g, light brown endpapers. Original cloth spine and covers bound in volume one. Illustrated with engraved portraits on each frontispiece, fold-out map in volume two, fold-out "Round Table" in volume three. John Wilson Croker (1780-1857), was a British statesman and author. He was educated at Trinity College, Dublin, where he graduated in 1800. Immediately afterwards he entered Lincoln's Inn, and in 1802 he was called to the Irish bar. His interest in the French Revolution led him to collect a large number of valuable documents on the subject, now in the British Museum. In 1809 Croker was appointed as secretary to the Admiralty. Many of his political speeches were published in pamphlet form. He was for many years one of the leading contributors on literary and historical subjects to the Quarterly Review, with which he had been associated from its foundation. The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography comments that, "He had a wide appreciation of all varieties of literature and art, which made him a valuable intermediary between the politicians and the public, and he was an able writer, lucid, fluent, and always well informed." "In 1831 Croker published a new edition of Boswell's Life of Johnson including the Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides, which was vindictively attacked by Macaulay in the Edinburgh Review, but which remained the best edition until superseded by the work of George Birkbeck Hill" - DNB.
