James Boswell, The Journals in Scotland, England and Ireland, 1766-1769
This volume, the second volume in the Research Edition series of journals in Scotland, England and Ireland from the autumn of 1766 to May 1769.The journals covered by the volume record much of Boswell's life as a young advocate during the first few years of his practice at the Scottish bar.
