Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life of James Boswell (of Auchinleck), Vol. 2 of 2: With an Account of His Sayings, Doings, and Writings On May 5, 1784, after all this excitement, Boswell arrived. He found Johnson somewhat recovered. After a month´s stay, during which he reports only a few meagre conversations - a proof of his relaxing attention to the invalid, - they set off together, on June 3rd, on a jaunt to Oxford, where they remained till the 19th. This proved to be the last of their many pleasant expeditions, and the faithful companion had the satisfaction of thinking: that he contributed not a little to make it agreeable. He even took the trouble of going down with Johnson, although he had to return almost as soon as he arrived, to keep an engagement in town; setting off again at once for Oxford, to stay with his friend. There are some very touching passages in this episode, described with true feeling by Boswell, for Johnson was then virtually under sentence of death.
