Boswell's _Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides_ was published in 1785 and
reached a sixth edition in 1813.
Many of the later editors of Boswell have included the _Tour_ in their
editions of the _Life_.
It is published as a separate volume in Dent's _Temple Classics_, with
a few notes by Arnold Glover (1898) and is contained in a volume of
Dent's _Everyman's Library_.
The _Life_ appeared in two quarto volumes in 1791 and went through ten
editions before the much-criticised edition of J. W. Croker in 1831.
The sixth edition, 1811, edited by Malone, is the safest of the early
editions. It is not disfigured by the liberties which Croker took with
Boswell's text.
Later editions are almost innumerable.
Napier's edition of 1884 included some valuable new material, but
the incomparable edition for students is that of George Birkbeck
Hill, published by the Oxford University Press in 1887. It is in six
volumes, of which four contain the _Life_, one the _Tour_, and one the
monumental index to which every student of Johnson must pay his debt of
gratitude.
Among modern editions the following may be noted:
Arnold Glover: 6 volumes (text of 1811), annotated. Dent. 1901.
Roger Ingpen: 2 volumes, illustrated. Pitman. 1907.
