Site Search Home Ancestry Research Genealogy Plus Independent Research ... Contact Us James Boswell James Boswell (1740-1795) succeeded his father as the ninth Laird of Auchinleck (Ayrshire) in 1782. In the past he has been dismissed as a 'cultural schizophrenic' but it is now accepted that Scots of his generation had a very troubled identity. He began a letter to the Public Advertiser by saying, "I am by birth a North Briton, as a Scotchman must now be called...". Political Union a generation before Boswell's birth had meant that institutions and power had transferred to London and Westminster - if a person wanted fame and glory they would have to travel south. The son of a respected Judge, Boswell studied for the law and began practising in Edinburgh in 1766. He made frequent trips to London, and it was on one of these visits that he met Samuel Johnson in 1763 in a bookshop.This was the year that he had made an extensive tour of Europe and had decided that his ambitions lay in the direction of writing. He hoped to win Johnson's agreement to write his biography. He persuaded Johnson to accompany him on a tour of Scotland: Johnson would write an account of the trip while Boswell would collect information for the biography. Boswell's own diaries turned into

He came to London from Scotland, and devoted himself assiduously to studying Johnsons character, spending some years in close intimacy with the great lexicographer. His subject was an anti-Scot who virulence Boswell had somewhat softened during their tour of Scotland some years earlier. The book is considered by some to be the best biography ever written. Boswell left so many letter sand diaries that perhaps more is known about him than any other 18 th Century man.

James Boswell Boswell was born in Edinburgh on 29th October 1740, the eldest son of Alexander and Euphemia Boswell . His father was an Ayrshire laird and advocate who, on appointment to the Court of Session in 1754, took the judicial title of Lord Auchinleck Boswell studied at Edinburgh and Glasgow Universities, his father intending him for a career as an advocate, although his own ambitions were for a literary or a military career. He ran off to London in 1760 and was received into the Roman Catholic church. He was persuaded that this James Boswell conversion, which would have precluded public office or professional advancement, was unwise and after a taste of the wilder side of London life returned home to his studies and continuing tension with his father. Eventually, in 1762, he was permitted to pay an extended visit to London, where he made full use of his freedom, overindulging in drink and sex. However in Davies 's bookshop in May 1763 he met the man who was to become the central figure in his life - Samuel Johnson . Their opening conversation was unpromising: Boswell: "Mr Johnson, indeed I come from Scotland, but I cannot help it."
