  • Viaggio in Corsica o Relazione della Corsica (in inglese An Account of Corsica, The Journal of a Tour to That Island, and Memoirs of Pascal Paoli) è un'opera che il giurista scozzese James Boswell scrisse nel 1766 e pubblicò nel 1768. Il saggio è un resoconto di un Grand Tour che l'autore compì prevalentemente in Italia e poi in Corsica nella seconda metà del 1765 oltre al suo incontro con il politico e militare corso Pasquale Paoli, che lottava per mantenere la Repubblica Corsa libera dai genovesi e dai loro alleati francesi (e dal 1768 anche nuovi dominatori dell'isola).

  • An Account of Corsica is the earliest piece of writing related to the Grand Tour literature that was written by the Scottish author James Boswell. Its first and second editions were published in 1768, with a third edition within twelve months. The full title given to the journal is An account of Corsica, the journal of a tour to that island and memoirs of Pascal Paoli. The book is an account of Boswell's travels in Corsica during a period of military and social upheaval and his subsequent befriending of the Corsican independence movement leader, General Pasquale Paoli. The British involvement in the issues of Corsica included the Corsican Crisis, and the French involvement culminated with the French conquest of Corsica. The Journal contains a foreword in the form of a letter from the Right Honourable George Lord Lyttelton; the "Account" section details the history, geography and topography of Corsica, while "The Journal and Memoirs" section covers Boswell's trip and Paoli's memoirs.
