about

Auchinleck (11 December 1762)

Boswell was the son of Alexander Boswell, Lord Auchinleck, a Scottish judge whose family estate derived from Ayrshire. On his father's death 1782, Boswell inherited the home and buildings at Auchinleck House. He was extremely fond of the place and wanted to end his days there: "...by laying up agreeable ideas to feast upon in recollection. Thus shall I perhaps enjoy a serene felicity at the delightful Auchinleck, the ancient seat of a long line of worthy ancestors." His last years were devoted to The Life of Samuel Johnson LI.D which appeared in 1791, and he hopes to deposit his diary in the archives: "I told Mr. Johnson that I put down all sorts of little incidents in it." "Sir", said he, "there is nothing too little for so little a creature as man. It is by studying little things that we attain the great knowledge of having as little misery and as much happiness as possible."
