The second volume in the Research Edition series of journals in Scotland, England, and Ireland from the autumn of 1766 to May 1769, this volume chronicles a significant period in the life of James Boswell, a young advocate during the early years of his practice at the Scottish bar. The journals provide a wealth of information about Boswell's composition and publication of his instant best-seller, Account of Corsica, his involvement as a volunteer for the Douglas camp in the great Douglas Cause, and his search for a wife. During his visits to London and Oxford in 1768, Boswell produced some of his finest journal-writing, including details of memorable and significant conversations with Samuel Johnson. The manuscript journals in the volume have been printed to correspond as closely as possible to the originals, preserving the essence of Boswell's writing in the medium of print.
