All the Sweets of Being by Roger Hutchinson
A biography of James Boswell. As well as describing his life in Scotland and London, and his friendship with Samuel Johnson, this book looks at his personal battle between the choice of family and a respectable career on the one hand, and wayward genius and easy debauchery on the other.
