Boswell and Johnsons Tour Of The Western Isles 1993 - Part Six
In the autumn of 1773, the English writer Samuel Johnson visited the Hebrides, or Western Isles, off the West coast of Scotland along with his friend, the Scotsman James Boswell, and his black servant Joseph. Staying with a series of hosts, including elderly Jacobite heroine Flora McDonald, Johnson and Boswell encounter traditional Scottish hospitality at first-hand, all the time arguing about politics (and in Boswell's case losing his head over every pretty woman he meets). The trip resulted in two books, Boswell's Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides (1785), and Johnsons A Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland (1775). This BBC production from 1993 features the acting talents of John Sessions, Robbie Coltrane and Leo Sho-Silva, with cameos from Celia Imrie and Ian Dury.

ENLIGHTENING THE MIND... AND TOUCHING THE HEART!
An appreciation by Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers
This slender volume happily commits to print three essays by Lord Bingham delivered as lectures on Dr Johnson and the Law.
Avid fans of Dr Johnson, as we are at Richmond Green Chambers, we absolutely love this book. And, of course, we are not alone. Even some three centuries after his birth, the fan base of our greatest litterateur, essayist and lexicographer grows apace worldwide -- with not a fan among them, we are sure, who would not be entranced by the humanity and insight delivered by this little book.
In the words of Robin de Wilde, Lord Bingham, who was regarded by his peers, as 'the perfect paragon of a judge', gave his first address on Dr Johnson and the Law on 16th April 2008 in the upper room at Dr Johnson's House in Gough Square, the same room where his Dictionary was compiled.
It is this lecture which will have abiding fascination for contemporary legal audiences. It's not generally known that Dr. Johnson was inordinately fond of the law and of the company of lawyers -- and if he had had the funds, would have become a lawyer himself. Nevertheless, he was greatly assisted by the young Scottish lawyer James Boswell -- who became his biographer -- in the conduct of a number of his cases. Dr Johnson's library, when catalogued in 1785 after his death, contained an astounding array of legal volumes including 30 volumes of Acts of Parliament.
The second address is a sermon given in the Temple Church on 22 July 2009 to commemorate the tercentenary of Dr Johnson's birth. Pointing out that this date was also the bicentenary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln, Lord Bingham draws a number of interesting parallels between the lives of these two great men. Physically, intellectually, philosophically and possibly spiritually, they were almost as one.
Lord Bingham's final address on Dr. Johnson, delivered shortly before his death in September 2010, was on 'Clubs and Clubbability', observing that 'the eighteenth century was the age of the club.' The tally of clubs and associations (in England we assume) apparently grew from 100 at the beginning of the century to about 6,500 at its end.
It was an aspect of his age in which Dr Johnson revelled. Clubs -- and clubbability -- 'gave him an opportunity to deploy his formidable argumentative powers,' says Lord Bingham...and 'offered the company of friends which he valued so highly.'
If you are a friend either of the law, or of Dr Johnson, or of literature, or all three, this book will nurture and augment that friendship. If you aren't, read this meticulously footnoted book anyway. A little volume (you can read it in one sitting) that enlightens the mind and touches the heart is certainly one to treasure.

Samuel Johnson (In Our Time)
Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss Samuel Johnson, a giant of 18th century literature. “There is no arguing with Johnson, for when his pistol misses fire, he knocks you down with the butt of it. The poet Oliver Goldsmith was not alone in falling victim to the bludgeoning wit of Samuel Johnson. The greatest luminaries of 18th century England, including the painter Joshua Reynolds, the philosopher Edmund Burke and the politician Charles James Fox, all deferred to him... happily or otherwise. Samuel Johnson was credited with defining English literature with his Lives of the Poets and his edition of Shakespeare, and of defining English language with his Dictionary. Yet despite those lofty acclamations he failed to get a degree, claimed he had never finished a book, was an inveterate hack who told his friend James Boswell, No man but a blockhead ever wrote, except for money. How did an Oxford drop-out become England's most famous and well connected man of letters? How did generations of readers come to see him as the father of English Literature? And why is he so little read today? With John Mullan, Professor of English at University College London; Jim McLaverty, Professor of English at Keele University; Judith Hawley, Senior Lecturer in English at Royal Holloway, University of London.

samuel johnson history
Samuel Johnson (18 September 1709 [O.S. 7 September] – 13 December 1784), often referred to as Dr. Johnson, was an English writer who made lasting contributions to English literature as a poet, essayist, moralist, literary critic, biographer, editor and lexicographer. Johnson was a devout Anglican and committed Tory, and is described by the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography as arguably the most distinguished man of letters in English history.[1] He is the subject of the most famous biography in English literature, namely The Life of Samuel Johnson by James Boswell.[2]
Born in Lichfield, Staffordshire, Johnson attended Pembroke College, Oxford, for just over a year, but a lack of funds forced him to leave. After working as a teacher, he moved to London, where he began to write for The Gentleman's Magazine. His early works include the biography Life of Mr Richard Savage, the poems London and The Vanity of Human Wishes, and the play Irene.
After nine years of work, Johnson's A Dictionary of the English Language was published in 1755. It had a far-reaching effect on Modern English and has been acclaimed as one of the greatest single achievements of scholarship.[3] This work brought Johnson popularity and success. Until the completion of the Oxford English Dictionary 150 years later, Johnson's was the pre-eminent British dictionary.[4] His later works included essays, an influential annotated edition of The Plays of William Shakespeare, and the widely read tale The History of Rasselas, Prince of Abissinia. In 1763, he befriended James Boswell, with whom he later travelled to Scotland; Johnson described their travels in A Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland. Towards the end of his life, he produced the massive and influential Lives of the Most Eminent English Poets, a collection of biographies and evaluations of 17th- and 18th-century poets.
Johnson was a tall and robust man. His odd gestures and tics were disconcerting to some on first meeting him. Boswell's Life, along with other biographies, documented Johnson's behaviour and mannerisms in such detail that they have informed the posthumous diagnosis of Tourette syndrome,[5] a condition not defined or diagnosed in the 18th century. After a series of illnesses, he died on the evening of 13 December 1784, and was buried in Westminster Abbey. In the years following his death, Johnson began to be recognised as having had a lasting effect on literary criticism, and he was claimed by some to be the only truly great critic of English literature.
