Synopsis
The Life Of Samuel Johnson, Ll.D.: Comprehending An Account Of His Studies And Numerous Works, In Chronological Order; A Series Of His Epistolary Correspondence And Conversations With Many Eminent Persons; And Various Original Pieces Of His Composition Never Before Published: The Whole Exhibiting — James Boswell. This section surveys Dr. Samuel Johnson’s final years in 1784, detailing his illness (dropsy and asthma), daily life, and intellectual activity, including writing, translating, and religious reflection. It portrays his close circle of friends and physicians, his will and legacies, and his death and funeral in Westminster Abbey. It highlights Boswell’s editorial framing—letters, conversations, and Johnson’s own prayers and notes—alongside Johnson’s moral seriousness, piety, and occasional irritability. The narrative places Johnson’s life within his public reception, later biographies, and the enduring esteem for his wit and philosophy. It emphasizes Johnson’s charity, gratitude to patrons, fidelity to friends, and moral inquiry into happiness, virtue, and truth, as well as concerns about money and social responsibility. It concludes with posthumous honors, statues, and the lasting influence of his life on literary biography.
