Page 446 Appendix II: added in 2, with the following introduction: The following verses, written by Sir Alexander (now Lord) Macdonald, and addressed and presented to Dr. Johnson, at Armidale, in the Isle of Sky, should have appeared in the proper place, if the authour of this Journal had been possessed of them; but this edition was almost printed off, when he was accidentally furnished with a copy by a friend. In the third edition this disappears, but the verses remain in the Appendix. Boswell contented himself with a footnote referring to them (p. 254 supra). Page 448. Of the advertisement of the Life only the first paragraph was in I, the rest being added in 2. APPENDIX I: BIBLIOGRAPHY 1. The JOURNEY First impression A Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland. London: Printed for Title-page, verso blank; verso blank. There was no half-title. MDCCLXXV. 8°. B-2B in eights, pp. [1]–384; Errata, D 8 and *U 4 are cancels. P. 296 is numbered 226. See notes to pp. 21 and 115 of this edition (pp. 452 and 458 supra). The Errata contain eleven entries. Second impression A Journey etc. (as above). 8°. Title-page, verso blank; Errata, verso blank; B-2B in eights, PP. [1]-384. The signatures (except B, E, S) are starred (on the first page only of each sheet), presumably to distinguish them from those of the first impression. There are no cancels; D 8 is unsigned, U 4 is signed U 4 (not starred). The Errata contain six entries, which by inadvertence were left uncorrected in reprinting; the remainder were corrected in the text. For other changes in the text see p. 452.
