	1740~~-1795~~. ~~Scottish~~ lawyer and ~~writer~~. ~~Today mainly known as~~ friend and ~~biographer~~ of ~~[[Samuel~~ Johnson]]. ~~Also author~~ of ~~intriguing diaries~~.		James Boswell was born in an Scottish aristrocatic family on 18th October, 1740. He was forced to study in Law to fulfill his father's wish. Though he was a successful lawyer by profession, but later became famous for his biography 'The Life of Samual Johnson' published in 1791. Johnson and Boswell, these two bossom friends met each other on 16th May, 1763, just one year after Boswell shifted to London. After Johnson's death in 1784, Boswell decided to compile his famous friend's writings, papers and his own experience with him travelling to different places and turned it into a biography. This book gave him the title of 'the great Biographer' because of the unique representation of the various sides of Johnson.
