This collected edition of his works - commissioned by the publisher within hours of Johnson's death, such was his celebrity - was published in 1787 in eleven volumes, edited by his literary executor, the musicologist Sir John Hawkins. Volume 10 contains a mixture of items – political tracts on taxation and current affairs; miscellaneous short works including book reviews and papers on agriculture, French prisoners of war, and the building of Blackfriars' Bridge; and A Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland. These show the range of his interests and the ease with which he could turn his pen to any topic.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePolitical Tracts: The false alarm [1770]\u003cbr\u003e Thoughts on the late transactions respecting Falkland's Islands [1771]\u003cbr\u003e The patriot, addressed to the electors of Great Britain [1774]\u003cbr\u003e Taxation no tyranny, an answer to the resolutions and address of the American Congress [1775]\u003cbr\u003e Political Essays: Observations on the state of affairs in 1756\u003cbr\u003e An introduction to the political state of Great Britain, written in the year 1756\u003cbr\u003e Miscellaneous Essays: Review of the Memoirs of the Court of Augustus, by Thomas Blackwell\u003cbr\u003e Review of four letters from Sir Isaac Newton to Dr. Bentley, containing some arguments in proof of a deity\u003cbr\u003e Review of a philosophical enquiry into the origin of our ideas of the sublime and beautiful\u003cbr\u003e Review of a free enquiry into the nature and origin of evil\u003cbr\u003e Review of A Journal of eight days journey, from Portsmouth to Kingston upon Thames ... by Mr. H****\u003cbr\u003e Reply to a paper in the Gazetteer of May 26th, 1757\u003cbr\u003e Introduction to the proceedings of the committee appointed to manage the contributions begun at London, December 18th, 1758, for cloathing French prisoners of war\u003cbr\u003e On the bravery of the English common soldiers\u003cbr\u003e Considerations on the plans offered for the construction of Black Friars Bridge, in three letters to the printer of the Gazetteer, 1759\u003cbr\u003e Some thoughts on agriculture, both ancient and modern\u003cbr\u003e Further thoughts on agriculture\u003cbr\u003e A Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Literary studies: general [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Literary studies: general\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Literary%20studies:%20general%20%5BDSB%5D%22\"\u003eDSB\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46266028294424,"sku":"9781108031806","price":42.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108031806i.jpg?v=1694873668","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-works-of-samuel-johnson-ll-d-together-with-his-life-and-notes-on-his-lives-of-the-poets-paperback-9781108031806","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
