O M Brack Jr., curator of the Johnson Tercentenary exhibition at the Huntington Library, discusses the life of one of the world's greatest men of letters, Samuel Johnson. It is Johnson, of course, who is the subject is what is regarded as the greatest biography ever written, James Boswell's Life of Johnson. Dr. Brack has just edited the very first but little-known biography of Johnson written by one of his contemporaries, Sir John Hawkins, and published in 1787.
Here's the brilliant "Dialogue in the Dark" by Michael Ignatieff. A fictional meeting between Scottish Philosopher David Hume and James Boswell. Superb acting by David Rintoul as Boswell and Alec McCowen as Hume.David Hume
Born May 07, 1711
Died Aug 25, 1776 in Edinburgh from cancer
Biography:
Scottish philosopher, historian, librarian and educator. Son of Joseph Hume of Ninewells (1680-1713) and Catherine Falconer (b. 1683). Brother of John Hume. A friend of Adam Smith. Member of The Poker Club.
In his own time he was most famous for having written the History of England, but is today best known as the philosopher responsible for such works as Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion, A Treatise on Human Nature and An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding.
Life with Boswell:
Boswell first met Hume in Edinburgh in July 1758, apparently with an introductory letter (or something like that) from William Temple. In a letter to Temple of July 29, 1758, Boswell wrote "Some days ago I was introduced to your friend Mr. Hume; he is a most discreet, affable man as ever I met with, and has really a great deal of learning, and a choice collection of books. He is indeed an extraordinary man, few such people are to be met with nowadays. We talk a great deal of genius, fine language, improving our style, %c., but I am afraid, solid learning is much wore out. Mr Hume, I think, is a very proper person for a young man to cultivate an acquaintance with; though he has not, perhaps, the most delicate taste, yet he has apply'd himself with great attention to the study of the ancients, and is likewise a great historian, so that you are not only entertained in his company, but may reap a great deal of usefull instruction. I own myself much obliged to you, dear Sir, for procuring me the pleasure of his acquaintance."
Boswell's final conversation with Hume has been the subject of a few works of fiction, the most notable being Michael Ignatieff's television play Dialogue in the Dark (1989) which featured David Rintoul as Boswell and Alec McCowen as Hume

Another tribute to the greatest biographer of all times, James Boswell, and to his mentor Dr.Johnson, this time focusing on Boswell's great gift of emotional memory - his wonderful capacity and gift for perfect recollection of the little everyday details of human nature: something he constantly applied to his friendship with the Doctor, cherishing and storing away in his memory box the precious memory of almost a lifetime together - exactly what makes his biography so great, in the end.

James Boswell
James Boswell, 9th Laird of Auchinleck (/ˈbɒzˌwɛl, -wəl/; 29 October 1740 – 19 May 1795), was a Scottish biographer and diarist, born in Edinburgh. He is best known for the biography he wrote of one of his contemporaries, the English literary figure Samuel Johnson, which the modern Johnsonian critic Harold Bloom has claimed is the greatest biography written in the English language.
Boswell's surname has passed into the English language as a term (Boswell, Boswellian, Boswellism) for a constant companion and observer, especially one who records those observations in print. In A Scandal in Bohemia, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's character Sherlock Holmes affectionately says of Dr. Watson, who narrates the tales, "I am lost without my Boswell."
Early life
Boswell was born in Blair's Land on the east side of Parliament Close behind St Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh on 29 October 1740. He was the eldest son of a judge, Alexander Boswell, Lord Auchinleck, and his wife Euphemia Erskine. As the eldest son, he was heir to his family's estate of Auchinleck in Ayrshire. Boswell's mother was a strict Calvinist, and he felt that his father was cold to him. As a child, he was delicate and suffered from some type of nervous ailment which appeared to be inherent and would afflict him sporadically all through his life. At the age of five, he was sent to James Mundell's academy, an advanced institution by the standards of the time, where he was instructed in English, Latin, writing and arithmetic. Boswell was unhappy there, and his sickliness began to manifest itself in the physical incidents associated with nightmares and extreme shyness.

Plot: The story begins as WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange (Benedict Cumberbatch) and his colleague Daniel Domscheit-Berg (Daniel Brühl) team up to become underground watchdogs of the privileged and powerful. On a shoestring, they create a platform that allows whistle-blowers to anonymously leak covert data, shining a light on the dark recesses of government secrets and corporate crimes. Soon, they are breaking more hard news than the world's most legendary media organizations combined. But when Assange and Berg gain access to the biggest trove of confidential intelligence documents in U.S. history, they battle each other and a defining question of our time: what are the costs of keeping secrets in a free society-and what are the costs of exposing them?

Quotes:
Julian Assange: Man is least himself when he talks with his own person. But if you give him a mask, he will tell you the truth. Two people, and a secret: the beginning of all conspiracies. More people, and, more secrets. But if we could find one moral man, one whistle-blower. Someone willing to expose those secrets, that man can topple the most powerful and most repressive of regimes.Sarah Shaw: Do you think the President of Turkmenistan will be more upset that I called him a practised liar or that I called him vain?::James Boswell: I don't think he's worried about the opinions of a mid-level foreign attaché.::Sarah Shaw: That's why I signed Hillary's name to it.
Julian Assange: You can't go far in this world by relying on people. People are loyal until it seems opportune not to be.

Plot: An American physicist, Peter Standish, lives in London in an inherited flat on Berkeley Square, unchanged from its 18th century appearance. He's researched his ancestors and the flat, and he believes somehow he will travel through time, if only briefly, to 1784. A lightning strike transports him, and he finds things disturbingly different than he expected: disease and social conditions appall him, and, in this Age of Reason, his speech, manners, and knowledge frighten rather than interest all except one young woman, Helen, the sister of the woman he's to marry. He sets up a laboratory in the hopes of hastening progress, and he tells her his secret. Does love or Bedlam await?

Famous quotes by James Boswell:
"We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship is formed. As in filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at last a drop which makes it run over. So in a series of kindness there is, at last, one which makes the heart run over."
"I am, I flatter myself, completely a citizen of the world. In my travels through Holland, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Corsica, France, I never felt myself from home."
"A page of my journal is like a cake of portable soup. A little may be diffused into a considerable portion."
"I have found you an argument; I am not obliged to find you an understanding."
"I have discovered that we may be in some degree whatever character we choose. Besides, practice forms a man to anything."
"He who has provoked the lash of wit, cannot complain that he smarts from it"
"A Sceptick therefore, who because he finds that Truths are not universally received, doubts of their existence, is just as foolish as a man who should try large shoes upon little feet, and little shoes upon large feet, and finding that they did not f"
"I am so fond of tea that I could write a whole dissertation on its virtues. It comforts and enlivens without the risks attendant on spirituous liquors. Gentle herb! Let the florid grape yield to thee. Thy soft influence is a more safe inspirer of social joy."
"I hate mankind, for I think myself one of the best of them, and I know how bad I am"
"A companion loves some agreeable qualities which a man may possess, but a friend loves the man himself"
"A companion loves some agreeable qualities which a man may possess, but a friend loves the man himself."
"A good pun may be admitted among the smaller excellencies of lively conversation."
"I suppose no person ever enjoyed with more relish the infusion of this fragrant leaf than did Johnson."
"For my own part I think no innocent species of wit or pleasantry should be suppressed: and that a good pun may be admitted among the smaller excellencies of lively conversation."
"If venereal delight and the power of propagating the species were permitted only to the virtuous, it would make the world very good."
"There is nothing worth the wear of winning, but laughter and the love of friends."
"What an insignificant life is this which I am now leading!"
"I hate mankind, for I think myself one of the best of them, and I know how bad I am."
"It is not every man who can be exquisitely miserable, any more than exquisitely happy."

Here's the brilliant "Dialogue in the Dark" by Michael Ignatieff. A fictional meeting between Scottish Philosopher David Hume and James Boswell. Superb acting by David Rintoul as Boswell and Alec McCowen as Hume.David Hume
Born May 07, 1711
Died Aug 25, 1776 in Edinburgh from cancer
Biography:
Scottish philosopher, historian, librarian and educator. Son of Joseph Hume of Ninewells (1680-1713) and Catherine Falconer (b. 1683). Brother of John Hume. A friend of Adam Smith. Member of The Poker Club.
In his own time he was most famous for having written the History of England, but is today best known as the philosopher responsible for such works as Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion, A Treatise on Human Nature and An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding.
Life with Boswell:
Boswell first met Hume in Edinburgh in July 1758, apparently with an introductory letter (or something like that) from William Temple. In a letter to Temple of July 29, 1758, Boswell wrote "Some days ago I was introduced to your friend Mr. Hume; he is a most discreet, affable man as ever I met with, and has really a great deal of learning, and a choice collection of books. He is indeed an extraordinary man, few such people are to be met with nowadays. We talk a great deal of genius, fine language, improving our style, %c., but I am afraid, solid learning is much wore out. Mr Hume, I think, is a very proper person for a young man to cultivate an acquaintance with; though he has not, perhaps, the most delicate taste, yet he has apply'd himself with great attention to the study of the ancients, and is likewise a great historian, so that you are not only entertained in his company, but may reap a great deal of usefull instruction. I own myself much obliged to you, dear Sir, for procuring me the pleasure of his acquaintance."
Boswell's final conversation with Hume has been the subject of a few works of fiction, the most notable being Michael Ignatieff's television play Dialogue in the Dark (1989) which featured David Rintoul as Boswell and Alec McCowen as Hume

SO, I HAD TO REPLACE THE ORIGINAL AUDIO TRACK WITH ONE OF THE RIDICULOUSLY FEW MUSIC PIECES AVAILABLE HERE - IF YOU CAN, PLEASE WATCH THIS WHILE PLAYING THE ORIGINAL TRACK!A young biographer's journey to Scotland on the trail of the world's greatest biographer ever, James Boswell (1740-1795) — author of "The Life of Samuel Johnson" and genial diarist from the 18th century. Places visited included many of the destinations through which Boswell and his great friend and mentor Samuel Johnson stopped during the legendary Tour to the Hebrides undertaken in 1785 — like the isles of Raasay and Skye; other cherished stops of this tour were Boswell's Edinburgh homes and his ancestral family seat of Auchinleck, in Ayrshire. This is for Thomas and all other Boswellians out there (I know there are some, and I was kinda sorry to notice that there was nothing on him here on youtube!). Thanks to Maureen and her husband for guiding a biographer through Boswell's estate grounds!

Another tribute to the greatest biographer of all times, James Boswell, and to his mentor Dr.Johnson, this time focusing on Boswell's great gift of emotional memory - his wonderful capacity and gift for perfect recollection of the little everyday details of human nature: something he constantly applied to his friendship with the Doctor, cherishing and storing away in his memory box the precious memory of almost a lifetime together - exactly what makes his biography so great, in the end. Song is by the wonderful Prefab Sprout.
