Life with Boswell

Boswell "Supped elegant at Mademoiselle de Zuylen's with the General" on February 13, 1764, and, on April 13 of that year, apparently supped at the General's.

    Unless otherwise noted, the source for a dated quotation of Boswell's is generally the corresponding volume of the Yale Trade Editions of Boswell's journals.
