And so now you can turn with
your interest all whetted to a
volume that contains a day-to-day
account Of a trip with a COLOSSUS
Of literature, like a first white
man treading the far-away tracks
Of Darkest Africa. In all truth
however, the statement is purely
comparative.
BoSWells Journal Is we'll known
to the white men of literature. 1t
has become handbook in some
instances but, as the publishers
hasten to announce, the volume
as hitherto known shows the un'
miStakable revision of one Ed
mond Malone, a Shakespearean
student. so much so that q
great deal Of the text was not
from the pen Of Boswell but from
the pen Of Malone, who toyed with
Mr.. Boswell's notes to a great ex.
tent.
The new volume, therefore,
takes its value from closer ad-
herence to Mr.. Boswell's own
thoughts. 1t is richer in personal
detail and closer to the flesh Of
the subject.
In all frankness, the editors
Frederick A. Pottle and Charles
H. Bennett, experts on their sub
ject-provide a preface in which
they explain to just what extent
the original manuscript, worn and
damaged by the ages. has been
