Homer is not more decidedly the first of Heroic poets, Shakespeare is not more decidedly the first of dramatists, Demosthenes is not more decidedly the first of orators, than Boswell is the first of biographers. He has no second.

Босуэлл в такой же мере заслуживает звания первого среди биографов, в какой Гомер — первого среди эпических поэтов, Демосфен — первого среди ораторов, а Шекспир — первого среди драматургов. Второго такого нет. (T. Macaulay)
