O knihe
(LARGE PRINT EDITION) 1871. A collection of verse by the eldest son of Johnson's biographer, who inherited his father's love of literature. Some of the selections contained in this volume are His Taste Life's Glad Moments and Paddy O'Rafferty, which are still well known; as well as his most characteristic pieces being his humorous vernacular sketches and songs, such as Skeldon Haughs or the Sow flitted, Jenny's Bawbee and Jenny Dang the Weaver, and the singularly realistic domestic quarrel and reconciliation detailed in The East Neuk of Fife. Also included is his The New Whig Song, which after being published in The Glasgow Sentinel, led to a challenge from James Stuart, of Dunearn. In the ensuing duel Boswell was fatally wounded.
