+
+
+In my notes I have often given but brief references to the authors whom
+I quote. The following list, which is not, however, so complete as I
+could wish, will, I hope, do much towards supplying the deficiency.
+Most of the poets, and a few of the prose writers also, I have not
+found it needful to include, as my references apply equally well to
+all editions of their works. The date in each case shows, not the
+year of the original publication, but of the edition to which I have
+referred.

+ADDENDA
+
+Last summer Messrs. Sotheby and Wilkinson sold some very interesting
+autograph letters written by Johnson to William Strahan, the printer.
+
+I was fortunate enough to find that the purchasers, with but one
+exception, were mindful of what Boswell so well describes as 'the general
+courtesy of literature[1],' and were ready to place their treasures
+at my service. To one of them, Mr. Frederick Barker, of 43, Rowan Road,
+Brook Green, I am still more indebted, for he entrusted me not only with
+the original letters which he had just bought, but also with some others
+that he had previously possessed. His Johnsonian collection is one of
+unusual interest. I have moreover to acknowledge my obligations to
+Mr. Fawcett, of 14, King Street, Covent Garden; to Messrs. J. Pearson
+and Co., of 46, Pall Mall; to Messrs. Robson and Kerslake, of Coventry
+Street, Haymarket; to Mr. Frank T. Sabin, of 10 and 12, Garrick Street,
+Covent Garden; and to Mr. John Waller, of 2, Artesian Road, Westbourne
+Grove. Those of the letters which are undated, I have endeavoured to
+assign to their proper places by internal evidence. The absence of a
+date is in itself very strong evidence that they belong to a comparatively
+early period (see _ante_, i. 122, n. 2).
+

+
+_A letter about a projected Geographical Dictionary by Mr. Bathurst, with
+Bathurst's Proposal; dated March 22, probably written in 1753_.[In the
+possession of Mr. Frederick Barker, of 43, Rowan Road, Brook Green.]
+
+'SIR,
+
+'I have inclosed the Scheme which I mentioned yesterday in which the work
+proposed is sufficiently explained.
+
+'The Undertaker, Mr. Bathurst, is a Physician of the University of
+Cambridge, of about eight years standing, and will perform the work in
+such a manner as may satisfy the publick. No advice of mine will be
+wanting, but advice will be all that I propose to contribute unless it
+should be thought worth while that I should write a preface, which if
+desired I will do and put my name to it. The terms which I am commissioned
+to offer are these:
+
+'1. A guinea and half shall be paid for each sheet of the copy.
+
+'2. The authour will receive a Guinea and half a week from the date of
+the Contract.
+
+'3. As it is certain that many books will be necessary, the Authour will
+at the end of the work take the books furnished him in part of payment
+at prime Cost, which will be a considerable reduction of the price of
+the Copy; or if it seems as you thought yesterday no reduction, he will
+allow out of the last payment fifty pounds for the use of the Books and
+return them.
+
+'4. In two months after his first demand of books shall be supplied,
+he purposes to write three Sheets a week and to continue the same
+quantity to the end of the work, unless he shall be hindered by want of
+Books. He does not however expect to be always able to write according
+to the order of the Alphabet but as his Books shall happen to supply him,
+and therefore cannot send any part to the press till the whole is nearly
+finished.
+
+'5. He undertakes as usual the Correction.
+
+'I am, Sir, Your most humble servant,
+'SAM. JOHNSON.'
+
+'March 22nd.
+'To Mr. Strahan.'
+
+'PROPOSAL.
+
+'There is nothing more apparently wanting to the English Literature,
+than a Geographical Dictionary, which, though its use is almost every day
+necessary, not only to Men of Study, but of Trade or publick employment,
+yet has been hitherto, not only unperformed, but almost unattempted
+among us. Bohun's Dictionary, the only one which has any pretension to
+regard, owes that pretension only to its bulk; for it is in all parts
+contemptibly defective and is therefore deservedly forgotten. In
+Collier's Dictionary, what Geography there is, can scarcely be found
+among the crowd of other subjects, and when it is found, is of no great
+importance. The books of Eachard and Salmon, though useful for the ends
+proposed by them, are too small to be considered as anticipations of this
+work, which is intended to consist of two volumes of the same size and
+print with Harris's Dictionary, in which will be comprised the following
+particulars:
+
+'The situation of every Country with its Provinces and dependencies
+according to its present state, and latest observation.
+
+'The description of all remarkable Cities, Towns, Castles, Fortresses,
+and places observable for their situation, products or other particulars.
+
+'An account of the considerable Rivers, their Springs, Branches, Course,
+Outlets, how far navigable, the Produce and Qualities of their waters.
+
+'The course of Voyages, giving directions to sailors for navigating
+from one place of the World to another, with particular attention
+to the Traffic of these Kingdoms.
+
+'An account of all the principal Ports and Harbours of the known World,
+in which will be laid down the Pilotage, Bearings, depth of water,
+danger from Sands or Rocks, firmness or uncertainty of Anchorage, and
+degree of safety from particular Winds.
+
+'An exact account of the Commodities of each Country, both natural and
+artificial.
+
+'A description of the remarkable Animals in every Country, whether
+Beasts, Birds or Fishes.
+
+'An account of the Buildings, whether ancient or modern, and of Ruins
+or other remains of Antiquity.
+
+'Remarks upon the soil, air, and waters of particular Places, their
+several qualities and effects, the accidents to which every Region is
+exposed, as Earthquakes and Hurricanes, and the diseases peculiar to
+the Inhabitants or incident to strangers at their arrival.
+
+'The political State of the World, the Government of Countries, and the
+Magistracy of Cities, with their particular Laws, or Privileges.
+
+'The most probable and authentic Calculations of the number of Inhabitants
+of each place.
+
+'The military state of Countries, their Forces, manner of making War,
+Weapons, and naval Power.
+
+'The Commercial State, extent of their Trade, Number and strength of
+their Colonies, quantity of Shipping.
+
+'The pretensions of Princes with their Alliances, Relations and
+Genealogies.
+
+'The customs of Nations with regard to Trade, and receptions of strangers,
+their domestic Customs, as Rites of Marriage and Burial. Their particular
+Laws. Their habits, recreations and amusements.
+
+'The religious Opinions of all Nations.
+
+'These and many other heads of observation will be collected, not merely
+from the Dictionaries now extant in many Languages, but from the best
+Surveys, Local Histories, Voyages, and particular accounts[1], among
+which care will be taken to select those of the best authority, as the
+basis of the Work, and to extract from them such observations as may
+best promote Knowledge and gratify Enquiry, so that it is to be hoped,
+there will be few remarkable places in the known World, of which the
+Politician, the Merchant, the Sailor, or the Man of Curiosity may not
+find a useful and pleasing account, of the credit of which the Reader
+may always judge, as the Authors from whom it is taken will be regularly
+quoted, a caution which if some, who have attempted such general works,
+had observed, their labours would have deserved, and found more favour
+from the Publick.'
+
+[Footnote 1: That this is done will appear from the authours' names
+exactly quoted.]
+
+This letter must have been written about the year 1753, for Bathurst
+is described as a physician of about eight years' standing. He took
+his degree as Bachelor of Medicine at Peterhouse, Cambridge, in 1745,
+and did not, it should seem, proceed to the higher degree. In 1757
+he was at the Havannah, where he died (_ante_, i. 242, n. i). He was
+Johnson's beloved friend, of whom 'he hardly ever spoke without tears
+in his eyes' (_ante_, i. 190, n. 2). The Proposal, I have no doubt,
+was either written, or at all events revised, by Johnson. It is quite
+in his style. It may be assumed that it is in Bathurst's handwriting.
+
+II.
+
+_An apologetical letter about some work that was passing through the
+press; undated, but probably written about the years 1753-5_.[In the
+possession of Mr. Frederick Barker.]
+
+
+'DEAR SIR,
+
+'What you tell me I am ashamed never to have thought on--I wish I had
+known it sooner--Send me back the last sheet; and the last copy for
+correction. If you will promise me henceforward to print a sheet a day,
+I will promise you to endeavour that you shall have every day a sheet
+to print, beginning next Tuesday.
+
+'I am Sir, Your most, &c.
+
+'SAM. JOHNSON.'
+
+'To Mr. Strahan.'
+
+In all likelihood Johnson is writing about the Dictionary. The absence
+of a date, as I have already said, is strong evidence that the letter
+was written comparatively early. As the first edition of the Dictionary
+was in folio a sheet consisted of four pages. Johnson writing on April
+3, 1753 says, 'I began the second vol. of my Dictionary, room being left
+in the first for Preface, Grammar, and History, none of them yet begun'
+(_ante_, i. 255). As the book was published on April 15, 1755 (_ante_,
+i. 290, n. 1), the printing must have gone on very rapidly, when a
+start was once made. By _copy_ he means his _manuscript for printing_.
+
+III, IV.
+
+_Two undated letters about printing the Dictionary_.[In the possession
+of Mr. John Waller, 2, Artesian Road, Westbourne Grove.]
+
+'DEAR SIR,
+
+'I must desire you to add to your other civilities this one, to go to
+Mr. Millar and represent to him the manner of going on, and inform him
+that I know not how to manage. I pay three and twenty shillings a week
+to my assistants, in each instance having much assistance from them,
+but they tell me they shall be able to pull better in method, as indeed
+I intend they shall. The Point is to get two Guineas.
+
+'Sir, Your humble Servant,
+'SAM. JOHNSON.'
+(Address on back.) 'To Mr. Strahan.'
+
+'SIR,
+
+'I have often suspected that it is as you say, and have told Mr. Dodsley
+of it. It proceeds from the haste of the amanuensis to get to the end
+of his day's work. I have desired the passages to be clipped close, and
+then perhaps for two or three leaves it is done. But since poor Stuart's
+time I could never get that part of the work into regularity, and
+perhaps never shall. I will try to take some more care but can promise
+nothing; when I am told there is a sheet or two I order it away. You
+will find it sometimes close; when I make up any myself, which never
+happens but when I have nobody with me, I generally clip it close, but
+one cannot always be on the watch.
+
+'I am Sir, Your most, &c.
+'SAM. JOHNSON.'
+
+These letters refer to the printing of the _Dictionary_, of which
+Dodsley and Millar were two among the proprietors, and Strahan the
+printer. Francis Stuart or Stewart was one of Johnson's amanuenses
+(_ante_, i. 187). In 1779 Johnson paid his sister a guinea for an old
+pocket-book of her brother's (_ante_, iii. 418), and wrote on April
+8,1780 (_ante_, iii. 421):--'The memory of her brother is yet fresh
+in my mind; he was an ingenious and worthy man.' In February 1784 he
+gave her another guinea for a letter relating to himself that he had
+found in the pocket-book (_ante_, iv. 262). A writer in the _Gent. Mag._
+for 1799, p. 1171, who had been employed in Strahan's printing-works,
+says that 'Stewart was useful to Johnson in the explanation of low cant
+phrases; all words relating to gambling and card-playing, such as
+_All-Fours_, _Catch-honours_ [not in Johnson's Dictionary], _Cribbage_
+[merely defined as _A game at cards_], were said to be Stewart's
+corrected by the Doctor.' He adds that after the printing had gone
+on some time 'the proprietors of the _Dictionary_ paid Johnson through
+Mr. Strahan at the rate of a guinea for every sheet of MS. copy delivered.
+The copy was written upon quarto post, and in two columns each page.
+Johnson wrote in his own hand the words and their explanation, and
+generally two or three words in each column, leaving a space between
+each for the authorities, which were pasted on as they were collected
+by the different amanuenses employed: and in this mode the MS. was so
+regular that the sheets of MS. which made a sheet of print could be
+very exactly ascertained.' The same writer states that Stewart in a
+night ramble in Edinburgh with some of his drinking companions 'met with
+the mob conducting Captain Porteous to be hanged; they were next day
+examined about it before the Town Council, when, as Stewart used to say,
+"we were found to be too drunk to have any hand in the business." He
+gave an accurate account of it in the Edinburgh Magazine of that time.'

+_A letter about Miss Williams, taxes due, and a journey; undated, but
+perhaps written at Oxford in 1754_.[In the possession of Mr. Frederick
+Barker.]
+
+
+'SIR,
+
+'I shall not be long here, but in the mean time if Miss Williams wants
+any money pray speak to Mr. Millar and supply her, they write to me
+about some taxes which I wish you would pay.
+
+'My journey will come to very little beyond the satisfaction of knowing
+that there is nothing to be done, and that I leave few advantages here
+to those that shall come after me.
+
+'I am Sir, &c.
+
+'SAM. JOHNSON.'
+
+'My compliments to Mrs. Strahan.
+
+To Mr. Strahan.'
+
+Miss Williams came to live with Johnson after his wife's death in 1752
+(_ante_, i. 232). The fact that Strahan is asked to supply her with
+money after speaking to Mr. Millar seems to show that this letter was
+written some time before the publication of the _Dictionary_ in April
+1755. Millar 'took the principal charge of conducting its publication,'
+and Johnson 'had received all the copy-money, by different drafts, a
+considerable time before he had finished his task' (_ante_, i. 287).
+
+His 'journey' may have been his visit to Oxford in the summer of 1754.
+He went there, because, 'I cannot,' he said, 'finish my book [the
+Dictionary] to my mind without visiting the libraries' (_ante_, i. 270).
+According to Thomas Warton 'he collected nothing in the libraries for
+his _Dictionary_' (_ib_ n. 5). It is perhaps to this failure that the
+latter part of the letter refers, Johnson's visit, however, was one of
+five weeks, while the first line of the letter shews that he intended
+to be away from London but a short time.
+

+
+_A letter about 'Rasselas,' dated_ Jan. 20, 1759.[In the possession of
+Mr. Frederick Barker.]
+
+
+'When I was with you last night I told you of a story which I was
+preparing for the press. The title will be
+
+"The Choice of Life
+
+or
+
+The History of ... Prince of Abissinia."
+
+'It will make about two volumes like little Pompadour, that is about
+one middling volume. The bargain which I made with Mr. Johnson was
+seventy five pounds (or guineas) a volume, and twenty five pounds for
+the second edition. I will sell this either at that price or for sixty[2],
+the first edition of which he shall himself fix the number, and the
+property then to revert to me, or for forty pounds, and I have the
+profit that is retain half the copy. I shall have occasion for thirty
+pounds on Monday night when I shall deliver the book which I must
+entreat you upon such delivery to procure me. I would have it offered
+to Mr. Johnson, but have no doubt of selling it, on some of the terms
+mentioned.
+
+[Footnote 2: 'Fifty-five pounds' written first and then scored over.]
+
+'I will not print my name, but expect it to be known.
+I am Dear Sir, Your most humble servant,
+SAM. JOHNSON.
+Jan. 20, 1759.
+Get me the money if you can.'
+
+This letter is of unusual interest, as it proves beyond all doubt that
+_Rasselas_ was written some weeks before _Candide_ was published (see
+_ante_, i. 342, n. a). Baretti, as I have shewn (i. 341, n. 3), says
+that 'any other person with the degree of reputation Johnson then
+possessed would have got £400 for the work, but he never understood
+the art of making the most of his productions.' We see, however, by
+this letter that Johnson did ask for a larger sum than the booksellers
+allowed him. He received but one hundred pounds for the first edition,
+but he had made a bargain for one hundred and fifty pounds or guineas.
+Johnson, the bookseller, seems to have been but in a small way of
+business as a publisher. I do not find in the _Gentleman's Magazine_
+for 1758 any advertisement of books published by him, and only one in
+1759 (P. 339). Cowper's publisher in 1778 was Joseph Johnson of St.
+Paul's Churchyard. (Cowper's _Works_ by Southey, i. 285; see also
+Nichols' _Literary Anecdotes_, iii. 461-464.)
+
+By 'little Pompadour' Johnson, no doubt, means the second and cheaper
+edition of _The History of the Marchioness de Pompadour_. The first
+edition was published by Hooper in one volume, price five shillings
+(_Gent. Mag_. for October 1758, p. 493). and the second in two volumes
+for three shillings and sixpence (_Gent. Mag_. for November, 1758,
+p. 543).
+
+Johnson did not generally 'print his name.' He published anonymously his
+translation of _Lobos Voyage to Abyssinia; London; The Life of Savage;
+The Rambler_, and _The Idler_, both in separate numbers and when
+collected in volumes; _Rasselas; The False Alarm; Falkland's Islands;
+The Patriot;_, and _Taxation no Tyranny_; (when these four pamphlets
+were collected in a volume he published them with the title of _Political
+Tracts, by the Authour of the Rambler_). He gave his name in _The Vanity
+of Human Wishes, Irene_, the _Dictionary_, his edition of _Shakespeare_,
+the _Journey to the Western Islands_, and the _Lives of the Poets_.

+
+_A letter about George Strahan's election to a scholarship at University
+College, Oxford, and about William Strahan's 'affair with the University';
+dated October 24, 1764_.[In the possession of Mr. Frederick Barker.]
+
+
+'SIR,
+
+'I think I have pretty well disposed of my young friend George, who, if
+you approve of it, will be entered next Monday a Commoner of University
+College, and will be chosen next day a Scholar of the House. The
+Scholarship is a trifle, but it gives him a right, upon a vacancy, to
+a Fellowship of more than sixty pounds a year if he resides, and I
+suppose of more than forty if he takes a Curacy or small living. The
+College is almost filled with my friends, and he will be well treated.
+The Master is informed of the particular state of his education, and
+thinks, what I think too, that for Greek he must get some private
+assistance, which a servitour of the College is very well qualified
+and will be very willing to afford him on very easy terms.
+
+'I must desire your opinion of this scheme by the next post, for the
+opportunity will be lost if we do not now seize it, the Scholarships
+being necessarily filled up on Tuesday.
+
+'I depend on your proposed allowance of a hundred a year, which must
+the first year be a little enlarged because there are some extraordinary
+expenses, as
+
+
+Caution (which is allowed in his last quarter). . 7 0 0
+Thirds. (He that enters upon a room pays two
+thirds of the furniture that he finds, and
+receives from his successor two thirds of what
+he pays; so that if he pays £20 he receives
+£13 6s. 8d., this perhaps may be) 12 0 0
+Fees at entrance, matriculation &c., perhaps 2 0 0
+His gown (I think) 2 10 0
+ ________
+ £ 23 10 0
+
+'If you send us a Bill for about thirty pounds we shall set out
+commodiously enough. You should fit him out with cloaths and linen,
+and let him start fair, and it is the opinion of those whom I consult,
+that with your hundred a year and the petty scholarship he may live
+with great ease to himself, and credit to you.
+
+'Let me hear as soon as is possible.
+
+'In your affair with the university, I shall not be consulted, but I
+hear nothing urged against your proposal.
+
+'I am, Sir,
+'Your humble servant,
+'SAM. JOHNSON.'
+
+'Oct. 24, 1764.
+
+'My compliments to Mrs. Strahan.
+
+'To Mr. Strahan, Printer, in New Street, Shoe-lane, London.'
+
+My friend, Mr. C. J. Faulkner, Fellow and Tutor of University College,
+has given me the following extracts from the College records:--
+
+'Oct. 30-31, 1764. Candidatis examinatis electi sunt Gulielmus Jones
+et Georgius Strahan in vacuas Exhibitiones Dmi Simonis Benet Baronetti.'
+
+Gulielmus Jones is the famous oriental scholar, Sir William Jones, whose
+portrait adorns the Hall of his ancient College (_ante_, ii. 25, n. 2).
+
+On April 16, 1767, is found the election of 'Georgium Strahan, sophistam
+in perpetuum hujus Collegii Socium.'
+
+He vacated his fellowship in 1773.
+
+The value of a Bennet scholarship in 1764 was ten pounds a year, with
+rooms added, the rent of which was reckoned as equal to two pounds more.
+A fellowship on the same foundation was worth about twenty pounds, with
+a yearly dividend added to it that amounted to about thirty pounds.
+'Fines' (_ante_, iii. 323) and other extra payments might easily raise
+the value to more than sixty pounds.
+
+The 'caution' is the sum deposited by an undergraduate with the College
+Bursar or Steward as a security for the payment of his 'battells' or
+account. Johnson in 1728 had to pay at Pembroke College the same sum
+(seven pounds) that George Strahan in 1764 had to pay at University
+College. _Ante_, i. 58, n. 2.
+
+Johnson wrote four letters to George Strahan, when he was a boy at
+school, and one letter when he was at College. (See Croker's _Johnson_,
+pp. 129, 130, 161, 168.) In this last letter, dated May 25, 1765, he
+writes: 'Do not tire yourself so much with Greek one day as to be afraid
+of looking on it the next; but give it a certain portion of time,
+suppose four hours, and pass the rest of the day in Latin or English.
+I would have you learn French, and take in a literary journal once a
+month, which will accustom you to various subjects, and inform you what
+learning is going forward in the world. Do not omit to mingle some
+lighter books with those of more importance; that which is read _remisso
+animo_ is often of great use, and takes great hold of the remembrance.
+However, take what course you will, if you be diligent you will be a
+scholar.'
+
+George Strahan attended Johnson on his death-bed, and published the
+volume called _Prayers and Meditations composed by Samuel Johnson_.
+_Ante_, i. 235, n. i; iv. 376, n. 4.
+
+William Strahan's 'affair with the University' was very likely connected
+with the lease of the University Printing House. From the 'Orders of
+the Delegates of the Press,' 1758, I have been permitted to copy the
+following entry, which bears a date but six days later than that of
+Johnson's letter.
+
+'Tuesday, Oct. 30, 1764. At a meeting of the Delegates of the Press.
+
+'Ordered,
+
+'That the following articles be made the foundation of the new lease
+to be granted of the moiety of the Printing House; that a copy of them
+be delivered to Mr. Baskett and Mr. Eyre, and that they be desired to
+give in their respective proposals at a meeting to be held on Tuesday
+the sixth of November.' (P. 41.)
+
+The chief part of the lease consisted of the privilege to print Bibles
+and Prayer Books. I conjecture that Strahan had hoped to get a share in
+the lease.
+

+
+_A letter about a cancel in Johnson's 'Journey to the Western Islands
+of Scotland', dated Nov. 30_, 1774.[In the possession of Messrs. Pearson
+and Co., 46, Pall Mall.]
+
+
+'SIR,
+
+'I waited on you this morning having forgotten your new engagement; for
+this you must not reproach me, for if I had looked upon your present
+station with malignity I could not have forgotten it. I came to consult
+you upon a little matter that gives me some uneasiness. In one of the
+pages there is a severe censure of the clergy of an English Cathedral
+which I am afraid is just, but I have since recollected that from me
+it may be thought improper, for the Dean did me a kindness about forty
+years ago. He is now very old, and I am not young. Reproach can do
+him no good, and in myself I know not whether it is zeal or wantonness.
+Can a leaf be cancelled without too much trouble? tell me what I shall
+do. I have no settled choice, but I would not wish to allow the charge.
+To cancel it seems the surer side. Determine for me.
+
+'I am, Sir, Your most humble servant,
+'SAM. JOHNSON.'
+'Nov. 30, 1774.
+
+'Tell me your mind: if you will cancel it I will write something to fill
+up the vacuum. Please to direct to the borough.'
+
+Mr. Strahan's 'new engagement' was in the House of Commons at Westminster,
+to which he had been elected for the first time as member for Malmesbury.
+The new Parliament had met on Nov. 29, the day before the date of
+Johnson's letter (_Parl. Hist_, xviii. 23).
+
+The leaf that Johnson cancelled contained pages 47, 48 in the first
+edition of his _Journey to the Western Islands_. It corresponds with
+pages 19-30 in vol. ix. of Johnson's _Works_ (ed. 1825), beginning
+with the words 'could not enter,' and ending 'imperfect constitution.'
+The excision is marked by a ridge of paper, which was left that the
+revised leaf might be attached to it. Johnson describes how the lead
+which covered the Cathedrals of Elgin and Aberdeen had been stripped
+off by the order of the Scottish Council, and shipped to be sold in
+Holland. He continues:--'Let us not however make too much haste to
+despise our neighbours. Our own cathedrals are mouldering by unregarded
+dilapidation. It seems to be part of the despicable philosophy of the
+time to despise monuments of sacred magnificence, and we are in danger
+of doing that deliberately, which the Scots did not do but in the
+unsettled state of an imperfect constitution.'
+
+In the copy of the first edition in the Bodleian Library, which had
+belonged to Gough the antiquary, there is written in his hand, as a
+foot-note to 'neighbours': 'There is now, as I have heard, a body
+of men not less decent or virtuous than the Scottish Council, longing
+to melt the lead of an English Cathedral. What they shall melt, it
+were just that they should swallow.' It can scarcely be doubted that
+this is the suppressed passage. The English Cathedral to which Johnson
+refers was, I believe, Lichfield. 'The roof,' says Harwood (History of
+Lichfield, p. 75), 'was formerly covered with lead, but now with slate.'
+Addenbroke, who had been Dean since 1745, was, we may assume, very old
+at the time when Johnson wrote. I had at first thought it not unlikely
+that it was Dr. Thomas Newton, Dean of St. Paul's and Bishop of Bristol,
+who was censured. He was a Lichfield man, and was known to Johnson (see
+_ante_, iv. 285, n. 3). He was, however, only seventy years old. I am
+informed moreover by the Rev. W. Sparrow Simpson, the learned editor
+of _Documents illustrating the History of St. Paul's_, that it is
+very improbable that at this time the Dean and Chapter of St. Paul's
+entertained such a thought.
+
+My friend Mr. C. E. Doble has kindly furnished me with the following
+curious parallel to Johnson's suppressed wish about the molten lead.
+
+'The chappell of our Lady [at Wells], late repayred by Stillington,
+a place of great reverence and antiquitie, was likewise defaced, and
+such was their thirst after lead (I would they had drunke it scalding)
+that they tooke the dead bodies of bishops out of their leaden coffins,
+and cast abroad the carkases skarce throughly putrified.'--Harington's
+_Nuga Antiquae_, ii. 147 (ed. 1804).
+
+In the postscript Johnson says 'Please to direct to the borough.' He
+was staying in Mr. Thrale's town-house in the Borough of Southwark.
+(See _ante_, i, 493.)
+

+
+_A letter about apprenticing a lad to Mr. Strahan, and about a
+presentation to the Blue Coat School, dated December 22_, 1774. [In
+the possession of Messrs. Robson and Kerslake, 25, Coventry Street
+Haymarket.]
+
+
+'Sir,
+
+'When we meet we talk, and I know not whether I always recollect what
+I thought I had to say.
+
+'You will please to remember that I once asked you to receive an
+apprentice, who is a scholar, and has always lived in a clergyman's
+house, but who is mishapen, though I think not so as to hinder him
+at the case. It will be expected that I should answer his Friend
+who has hitherto maintained him, whether I can help him to a place.
+He can give no money, but will be kept in cloaths.
+
+'I have another request which it is perhaps not immediately in your
+power to gratify. I have a presentation to beg for the blue coat
+hospital. The boy is a non-freeman, and has both his parents living.
+We have a presentation for a freeman which we can give in exchange.
+If in your extensive acquaintance you can procure such an exchange,
+it will be an act of great kindness. Do not let the matter slip out
+of your mind, for though I try others I know not any body of so much
+power to do it.
+
+'I am, Sir, Your most humble Servant,
+
+'SAM. JOHNSON.'
+
+'Dec. 22, 1774.'
+
+The apprentice was young William Davenport, the orphan son of a clergyman.
+His friend was the Rev. W. Langley, the master of Ashbourne School.
+Strahan received him as an apprentice (_ante_, ii. 334, n. i). See also
+Nichols' _Literary Anecdotes_, vol. iii. p. 287.
+
+The 'case' is the frame containing boxes for holding type.

+
+_A letter about suppressions in 'Taxation no Tyranny! dated March 1,
+1775_.[In the possession of Mr. Frank T. Sabin, 10 & 12, Garrick Street
+Covent Garden.]
+
+
+'SIR,
+
+'I am sorry to see that all the alterations proposed are evidences of
+timidity. You may be sure that I do [? not] wish to publish, what those
+for whom I write do not like to have published. But print me half a
+dozen copies in the original state, and lay them up for me. It concludes
+well enough as it is.
+
+'When you print it, if you print it, please to frank one to me here, and
+frank another to Mrs. Aston at Stow Hill, Lichfield.
+
+'The changes are not for the better, except where facts were mistaken.
+The last paragraph was indeed rather contemptuous, there was once more
+of it which I put out myself.
+
+'I am Sir, Your humble Servant,
+'SAM. JOHNSON.'
+
+'March 1, 1775.'
+
+This letter refers to _Taxation no Tyranny_, which was published before
+March 31, 1775, the date of Boswell's arrival in London (_ante_, ii.
+311). Boswell says that he had in his possession 'a few proof leaves
+of it marked with corrections in Johnson's own hand-writing' (ib. p.
+313). Johnson, he says,' owned to me that it had been revised and
+curtailed by some of those who were then in power.' When Johnson writes
+'when you print it, if you print it,' he uses, doubtless, _print_ in
+the sense of _striking off copies_. The pamphlet was, we may assume, in
+type before it was revised by 'those in power.' The corrections had been
+made in the proof-sheets. Johnson asks to have six copies laid by for
+him in the state in which he had wished to publish it. It seems that the
+last paragraph had been struck out by the reviser, for Johnson says 'it
+was rather contemptuous.' He does not think it needful to supply anything
+in its place, for he says 'it concludes well enough as it is.'
+
+Mr. Strahan had the right, as a member of Parliament, to frank all
+letters and packets. That is to say, by merely writing his signature on
+the cover he could pass them through the post free of charge. Johnson,
+when he wrote to Scotland, used to employ him to frank his letters,
+'that he might have the consequence of appearing a parliament-man among
+his countrymen' (_ante_, iii. 364). It was to Oxford that a copy of the
+pamphlet was to be franked to Johnson. That he was there at the time is
+shown by a letter from him in Mrs. Piozzi's _Collection_ (vol. i. p.
+212), dated 'University College, Oxford, March 3, 1775.' Writing to her,
+evidently from Bolt Court, on February 3, he had said: 'My pamphlet has
+not gone on at all' (ib. i. 211). Mrs. Aston (or rather Miss Aston) is
+mentioned _ante_, ii. 466.
+
+
+
+XI
+
+_A letter about 'copy' and a book by Professor Watson, dated Oct. 14,
+1776'_.[In the possession of Mr. H. Fawcett, of 14, King Street, Covent
+Garden.]
+
+
+'SIR,
+
+'I wrote to you about ten days ago, and sent you some copy. You have
+not written again, that is a sorry trick.
+
+'I am told that you are printing a Book for Mr. Professor Watson of
+Saint Andrews, if upon any occasion, I can give any help, or be of any
+use, as formerly in Dr. Robertson's publication, I hope you will make
+no scruple to call upon me, for I shall be glad of an opportunity to
+show that my reception at Saint Andrews has not been forgotten.
+
+'I am Sir, Your humble Servant,
+'SAM. JOHNSON.'
+
+'Oct. 14, 1776.'
+
+The' copy' or MS. that Johnson sent is, I conjecture, _Proposals for
+the Rev. Mr. Shaw's Analysis of the Scotch Celtick Language_ (_ante_,
+iii. 107). This is the only acknowledged piece of writing of his during
+1776. The book printing for Professor Watson was _History of the Reign
+of Philip II_, which was published by Strahan and Cadell in 1777. This
+letter is of unusual interest, as showing that Johnson had been of some
+service as regards one of Robertson's books. It is possible that he
+read some of the proof-sheets, and helped to get rid of the Scotticisms.
+'Strahan,' according to Beattie, 'had corrected (as he told me himself)
+the phraseology of both Mr. Hume and Dr. Robertson' (_ante_, v. 92,
+n. 3). He is not unlikely, in Robertson's case, to have sought and
+obtained Johnson's help.
+
+
+
+XII.
+
+_The following letter is published in Mr. Alfred Morrison's 'Collection
+of Autographs', vol. ii. p. 343._
+
+'To Dr. TAYLOR. Dated London, April 20, 1778.'
+
+'The quantity of blood taken from you appears to me not sufficient.
+Thrale was almost lost by the scrupulosity of his physicians, who never
+bled him copiously till they bled him in despair; he then bled till he
+fainted, and the stricture or obstruction immediately gave way and from
+that instant he grew better.
+
+'I can now give you no advice but to keep yourself totally quiet and
+amused with some gentle exercise of the mind. If a suspected letter
+comes, throw it aside till your health is reestablished; keep easy and
+cheerful company about you, and never try to think but at those stated
+and solemn times when the thoughts are summoned to the cares of futurity,
+the only cares of a rational being.
+
+'As to my own health I think it rather grows better; the convulsions
+which left me last year at Ashbourne have never returned, and I have by
+the mercy of God very comfortable nights. Let me know very often how you
+are till you are quite well.'
+
+This letter, though it is dated 1778, must have been written in 1780.
+Thrale's first attack was in June, 1779, when he was in 'extreme danger'
+(_ante_, iii. 397, n. 2, 420). Johnson had the remission of the
+convulsions on June 18, 1779. He recorded on June 18, 1780:--
+
+'In the morning of this day last year I perceived the remission of
+those convulsions in my breast which had distressed me for more than
+twenty years. I returned thanks at church for the mercy granted me,
+which has now continued a year.'--_Prayers and Meditations_, p. 183.
+
+
+Three days later he wrote to Mrs. Thrale:--
+
+'It was a twelvemonth last Sunday since the convulsions in my breast
+left me. I hope I was thankful when I recollected it; by removing
+that disorder a great improvement was made in the enjoyment of life.'
+--_Piozzi Letters_, ii. 163. (See _ante_, iii. 397, n. 1.)
+
+He was at Ashbourne on June 18, 1779 (_ante_, iii. 453).
+
+On April 20, 1778, the very day of which this letter bears the date,
+he recorded:--
+
+'After a good night, as I am forced to reckon, I rose seasonably....
+In reviewing my time from Easter, 1777, I found a very melancholy
+and shameful blank. So little has been done that days and months are
+without any trace. My health has, indeed, been very much interrupted.
+My nights have been commonly not only restless, but painful and fatiguing.
+....Some relaxation of my breast has been procured, I think, by opium,
+ which, though it never gives me sleep, frees my breast from spasms.'
+--_Prayers and Meditations_, p. 169. See _ante_, iii. 317, n. 1.
+
+For Johnson's advice about bleeding, see _ante_, iii. 152; and for
+possible occasions for 'suspected letters,' _ante_, i. 472, n. 4;

+I had long failed to find a copy of these _Memoirs_, though I had
+searched in the Bodleian, the British Museum, and the London Library, and
+had applied to the University Library at Cambridge, and the Advocates'
+Library at Edinburgh. By the kindness of Mr. R. H. Soden Smith and Mr.
+R. F. Sketchley, I have obtained the following extract from a copy in

+
+'Conscious, notwithstanding, that to avoid writing what is _unnecessary_

+apology to make for having strewed these pages so thinly with the

+following title:--
+
+_S. Shaw's 'Grammatica Anglo--Romana', London, printed for Michael
+Johnson, bookseller: and are to be sold at his shops in Litchfield and
+Uttoxiter in Stafford-shire; and Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Leicestershire,

+
+Mr. C. E. Doble tells me that in the proposals issued in 1690 by Thomas
+Bennet, St. Paul's Churchyard, for printing Anthony a Wood's _Athenae
+Oxonienses_ and _Fasti Oxonienses_, among 'the booksellers who take

+'"He that follows is _Florismarte of Hyrcania_" said the barber. "What!
+is Signor Florismarte there?" replied the priest; "in good faith he shall
+share the same fate, notwithstanding his strange birth and chimerical
+adventures; for his harsh and dry style will admit of no excuse. To the
+yard with him, therefore." "With all my heart, dear Sir," answered the
+housekeeper; "and with joyful alacrity she executed the command.'"
+--_Don Quixote_, ed. 1820, i. 48.
+
+Boswell speaks of _Felixmarte_ as the old Spanish romance. In the
+_Bibliografia dei Romanzi e Poeini Cavallereschi Italiani_ (2nd ed.,
+Milan, 1838), p. 351, it is stated that in the Spanish edition it is
+called a translation from the Italian, and in the Italian edition a
+translation from the Spanish. The Italian title is _Historia di Don
+Florismante d'Ircania, tradotta dallo Spagnuolo_. Cervantes, in an
+edition of _Don Quixote_, published in 1605, which I have looked at,
+calls the book _Florismarte de Hircania_ (not _Florismante_). It should
+seem that he made his hero read the Italian version.

+so neighbour," replied the barber, "for behold here the renowned
+_Don Belianis_." The priest replied, "This with the second, third,
+and fourth parts, wants a little rhubarb to purge away its excessive
+choler; there should be removed too all that relates to the castle
+of Fame, and other impertinencies of still greater consequence; let them

+Olive Lloyd, the daughter of the first Sampson Lloyd, of Birmingham,
+and aunt of the Sampson Lloyd with whom he had an altercation (_ante_,

+
+The following note by Malone I failed to quote in the right place. It
+is copied from a paper, written by Lady Knight.
+
+'Mrs. Williams's account of Mrs. Johnson was, that she had a good
+understanding and great sensibility, but inclined to be satirical. Her
+first husband died insolvent [this is a mistake, see _ante_, i. 95,
+n. 3]; her sons were much disgusted with her for her second marriage;
+... however, she always retained her affection for them. While they
+[Mr. and Mrs. Johnson] resided in Gough Square, her son, the officer,
+knocked at the door, and asked the maid if her mistress was at home.
+She answered, "Yes, Sir, but she is sick in bed." "Oh," says he, "if
+it's so, tell her that her son Jervis called to know how she did;" and
+was going away. The maid begged she might run up to tell her mistress,
+and, without attending his answer, left him. Mrs. Johnson, enraptured
+to hear her son was below, desired the maid to tell him she longed to
+embrace him. When the maid descended the gentleman was gone, and poor
+Mrs. Johnson was much agitated by the adventure; it was the only time
+he ever made an effort to see her. Dr. [Mr.] Johnson did all he could
+to console his wife, but told Mrs. Williams: "Her son is uniformly
+undutiful; so I conclude, like many other sober men, he might once in
+his life be drunk, and in that fit nature got the better of his pride."'

+
+
+_Johnson's application for the mastership of the Grammar School at
+Solihull in Warwickshire_.
+
+(Vol. i, p. 96.)
+
+Johnson, a few weeks after his marriage, applied for the mastership of
+Solihull Grammar School, as is shown by the following letter, preserved
+in the Pembroke College MSS., addressed to Mr. Walmsley, and quoted by
+Mr. Croker. I failed to insert it in my notes.
+
+_'Solihull, the 30 August 1735._
+
+'SIR,

+'I was favoured with yours of the 13th inst. in due time, but deferred
+answering it til now, it takeing up some time to informe the Foeofees
+of the contents thereof; and before they would return an Answer, desired
+some time to make enquiry of the caracter of Mr. Johnson, who all agree
+that he is an excellent scholar, and upon that account deserves much
+better than to be schoolmaster of Solihull. But then he has the caracter
+of being a very haughty, ill-natured gent., and that he has such a way of
+distorting his Face (which though he can't help) the gent, think it
+may affect some young ladds; for these two reasons he is not approved
+on, the late master Mr. Crompton's huffing the Foeofees being stil in
+their memory. However, we are all exstreamly obliged to you for thinking
+of us, and for proposeing so good a schollar, but more especially is,
+dear sir,
+
+'Your very humble servant,

+
+
+_Johnson's knowledge of Italian_.
+
+(Vol. i, p. 115.)
+
+Boswell says that he does not know 'at what time, or by what means
+Johnson had acquired a competent knowledge of Italian.' In my note
+on this I say 'he had read Petrarch "when but a boy."' As Petrarch
+wrote chiefly in Latin, it is quite possible that Johnson did not
+acquire his knowledge of Italian so early as I had thought.
+
+
+
+_Johnson's deference for the general opinion_.
+
+(Vol. i, p. 200.)
+
+Miss Burney records an interesting piece of criticism by Johnson. 'There
+are,' he said, 'three distinct kinds of judges upon all new authors or
+productions; the first are those who know no rules, but pronounce
+entirely from their natural taste and feelings; the second are those who
+know and judge by rules; and the third are those who know, but are above
+the rules. These last are those you should wish to satisfy. Next to them
+rate the natural judges; but ever despise those opinions that are formed
+by the rules.'--_Mine. D'Arblay's Diary_, i. 180. Later on she writes:
+--'The natural feelings of untaught hearers ought never to be slighted;
+and Dr. Johnson has told me the same a thousand times;' ib. ii. 128.
+
+
+
+_Johnson in the Green Room_.
+
+(Vol. i, p. 201.)
+
+Mr. Richard Herne Shepherd, in _Watford's Antiquarian_ for January,
+1887, p. 34, asserts that the actual words which Johnson used when
+he told Garrick that he would no longer frequent his Green Room were
+indecent; so indecent that Mr. Shepherd can only venture to satisfy
+those whom he calls students by informing them of them privately. For
+proof of this charge against the man whose boast it was that 'obscenity
+had always been repressed in his company' (_ante_, iv. 295) he brings
+forward John Wilkes. The story, indeed, as it is told by Boswell, is
+not too trustworthy, for he had it through Hume from Garrick. As it
+reaches Mr. Shepherd it comes from Garrick through Wilkes. Garrick, no
+doubt, as Johnson says (_ante_, v. 391), was, as a companion, 'restrained
+by some principle,' and had 'some delicacy of feeling.' Nevertheless,
+in his stories, he was, we may be sure, no more on oath than a man is
+in lapidary inscriptions (_ante_, ii. 407). It is possible that he
+reported Johnson's very words to Hume, and that Hume did not change
+them in reporting them to Boswell. Whatever they were, they were spoken
+in 1749 and published in 1791, when Johnson had been dead six years,
+Garrick twelve years, and Hume fourteen years. It is idle to dream that
+they can now be conjecturally emended. But it is worse than idle to
+bring in as evidence John Wilkes. What entered his ear as purity itself
+might issue from his mouth as the grossest obscenity. He had no delicacy
+of feeling. No principle restrained him. When he comes to bear testimony,
+and aims a shaft at any man's character, the bow that he draws is drawn
+with the weakness of the hand of a worn-out and shameless profligate.
+
+Mr. Shepherd quotes an unpublished letter of Boswell to Wilkes, dated
+Rome, April 22, 1765, to show 'that the two men had become familiars,
+not only long before Wilkes's famous meeting with Dr. Johnson was brought
+about, but before even the friendship of Boswell himself with Johnson
+had been consolidated.' It needs no unpublished letters to show that. It
+must be known to every attentive reader of Boswell. See _ante_, i. 395,
+and ii. 11.

+opinion that travelling is of very little use, and may do a great deal
+of harm. ... I esteem and love my father, and I am determined to do what
+is in my power to make him easy and happy. But you will allow that I
+may endeavour to make him happy, and at the same time not to be too hard
+upon myself. I must use you so much with the freedom of a friend as to
+tell you that with the vivacity which you allowed me I have a melancholy
+disposition. I have made excursions into the fields of amusement, perhaps
+of folly. I have found that amusement and folly are beneath me, and that
+without some laudable pursuit my life must be insipid and wearisome.....
+My father seems much against my going to Italy, but gives me leave to go
+from this, and pass some months in Paris. I own that the words of the
+Apostle Paul, "I must see Rome," are strongly _borne in_ upon my mind. It
+would give me infinite pleasure. It would give taste for a life-time,

+
+'The _Advertisement to Religion and Policy, by Edward Earl of Clarendon_,
+runs as follows:--
+
+"Henry Viscount Cornbury, who was called up to the House of Peers
+by the title of Lord Hyde, in the lifetime of his father, Henry Earl
+of Rochester, by a codicil to his will, dated Aug. 10, 1751, left
+divers MSS. of his great grandfather, Edward Earl of Clarendon, to
+Trustees, with a direction that the money to arise from the sale or
+publication thereof, should be employed as a beginning of a fund for
+supporting a Manage or Academy for riding and other useful exercises
+in Oxford; a plan of this sort having been also recommended by Lord
+Clarendon in his Dialogue on Education. Lord Cornbury dying before
+his father, this bequest did not take effect. But Catharine, one of
+the daughters of Henry Earl of Rochester, and late Duchess Dowager
+of Queensbury, whose property these MSS. became, afterwards by deed
+gave them, together with all the monies which had arisen or might arise
+from the sale or publication of them, to [three Trustees] upon trust
+for the like purposes as those expressed by Lord Hyde in his codicil."
+
+'The preface to the _Life of Edward Earl of Clarendon, written by
+himself_., has words to the same effect. (See also _Notes and Queries_,
+Ser. I. x. 185, and xi. 32.)
+
+'From a letter in _Notes and Queries_, Ser. II. x. p. 74, it appears
+that in 1860 the available sum, in the hands of the Trustees of the
+Clarendon Bequest, amounted to £10,000. The University no longer needed
+a riding-school, and the claims of Physical Science were urgent; and in
+1872 the announcement was made, that by the liberality of the Clarendon
+Trustees an additional wing had been added to the University Museum,
+containing the lecture-rooms and laboratories of the department of
+Experimental Philosophy.' Vol. i. p. 305.

+I have learnt, through Mr. Morrison's kindness, that 'on the document
+itself there is the following memorandum, signed, so far as can be made
+out, H. W. R.:--
+
+"The enclosed song was written and composed by James Boswell, the
+biographer of Johnson, in commemoration of a tour he made with Mrs.
+Rudd whilst she was under his protection, for living with whom he
+displeased his father so much that he threatened to disinherit him.
+
+"Mrs. Rudd had lived with one of the Perreaus, who were tried and
+executed for forgery. She was tried at the same time and acquitted.
+
+"My father having heard that Boswell used to sing this song at the Home
+Circuit, requested it of him, and he wrote it and gave it him. H.W. R."'

+Christopher Smart.
+
+(Vol. ii, p. 454, n. 3.)
+
+Mr. Robert Browning, in his Parleyings with Christopher Smart, under
+the similitude of 'some huge house,' thus describes the general run of
+that unfortunate poet's verse:--
+
+ 'All showed the Golden Mean without a hint
+ Of brave extravagance that breaks the rule.
+ The master of the mansion was no fool
+ Assuredly, no genius just as sure!
+ Safe mediocrity had scorned the lure
+ Of now too much and now too little cost,
+ And satisfied me sight was never lost
+ Of moderate design's accomplishment
+ In calm completeness.'
+
+Mr. Browning goes on to liken one solitary poem to a Chapel in the house,
+in which is found--
+
+ 'from floor to roof one evidence
+ Of how far earth may rival heaven.'

+_Johnsons discussion on baptism--with Mr. Lloyd, the Birmingham Quaker_.
+
+(Vol. ii, p. 458.)
+
+In _Farm and its Inhabitants_ (_ante_, p. xlii), a further account is
+given of the controversy between Johnson and Mr. Lloyd the Quaker, on
+the subject of Barclay's _Apology_.
+
+'Tradition states that, losing his temper, Dr. Johnson threw the volume
+on the floor, and put his foot on it, in denunciation of its statements.
+The identical volume is now in the possession of G. B. Lloyd, of Edgbaston
+Grove.
+
+'At the dinner table he continued the debate in such angry tones, and
+struck the table so violently that the children were frightened, and
+desired to escape.
+
+'The next morning Dr. Johnson went to the bank [Mr. Lloyd was a banker]
+and by way of apology called out in his stentorian voice, "I say, Lloyd,
+I'm the best theologian, but you are the best Christian.'" p. 41. It
+could not have been 'the next morning' that Johnson went to the bank,
+for he left for Lichfield on the evening of the day of the controversy
+(_ante_, ii. 461). He must have gone in the afternoon, while Boswell
+was away seeing Mr. Boulton's great works at Soho (ib. p. 459).
+
+Mr. G. B. Lloyd, the great-grandson of Johnson's host, in a letter
+written this summer (1886), says: 'Having spent much of my boyhood
+with my grandfather in the old house, I have heard him tell the story
+of the stamping on the broad volume.'
+
+Boswell mentions (ib. p. 457) that 'Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd, like their
+Majesties, had been blessed with a numerous family of fine children,
+their numbers being exactly the same.' The author of _Farm and its
+Inhabitants_ says (p. 46): 'There is a tradition that when Sampson
+Lloyd's wife used to feel depressed by the care of such a large family
+(they had sixteen children) he would say to her, "Never mind, the
+twentieth will be the most welcome."' His fifteenth child Catharine
+married Dr. George Birkbeck, the founder of the Mechanics' Institutes
+(ib. p. 48).
+
+A story told (p. 50) of one of Mr. Lloyd's sons-in-law, Joseph Biddle,
+is an instance of that excess of forgetfulness which Johnson called
+'morbid oblivion' (_ante_, v. 68). 'He went to pay a call in Leamington.
+The servant asked him for his name, he could not remember it; in
+perplexity he went away, when a friend in the street met him and
+accosted him, "How do you do, Mr. Biddle?" "Oh, Biddle, Biddle, Biddle,
+that's the name," cried he, and rushed off to pay his call.'
+
+The editor is in error in stating (p. 45, n. 1) that a very poor poem
+entitled _A bone for Friend Mary to pick_, is by Johnson. It may be
+found in the _Gent. Mag._ for 1791, p. 948.

+_Lichfield in 1783._
+
+(Vol. ii, p. 461.)
+
+C. P. Moritz, a young Prussian clergyman who published an account of
+a pedestrian tour that he made in England in the year 1782, thus describes
+Lichfield as he saw it on a day in June:--
+
+'At noon I got to Lichfield, an old-fashioned town with narrow dirty
+streets, where for the first time I saw round panes of glass in the
+windows. The place to me wore an unfriendly appearance; I therefore
+made no use of my recommendation, but went straight through and only
+bought some bread at a baker's, which I took along with me.'--_Travels
+in England in 1782_, p. 140, by C. P. Moritz. Cassell's National Library,
+1886.
+
+The 'recommendation' was an introduction to an inn given him by the
+daughter of his landlord at Sutton, who told him 'that the people in
+Lichfield were, in general, very proud.' Travelling as he did, on foot
+and without luggage, he was looked upon with suspicion at the inns,
+and often rudely refused lodging.

+
+_Richard Baxter's doubt_.
+
+(Vol. ii, p. 477.)
+
+The Rev. J. Hamilton Davies [See _ante_, p. xlix. 1] informs me that
+there can be no doubt that Johnson referred to the following passage
+in _Reliquiae Baxterianae_, folio edition of 1696, p. 127:--
+
+'This is another thing which I am changed in; that whereas in my
+younger days I was never tempted to doubt of the Truth of Scripture
+or Christianity, but all my Doubts and Fears were exercised at home,
+about my own Sincerity and Interest in Christ--since then my sorest
+assaults have been on the other side, and such they were, that had I
+been void of internal Experience, and the adhesion of Love, and the
+special help of God, and had not discerned more Reason for my Religion
+than I did when I was younger, I had certainly apostatized to Infidelity,'
+&c.
+
+Johnson, the day after he recorded his 'doubt,' wrote that he was
+'troubled with Baxter's _scruple_' (_ante_, ii. 477). The 'scruple'
+was, perhaps, the same as the 'doubt.' In his _Dictionary_ he defines
+_scruple_ as _doubt; difficulty of determination; perplexity; generally
+about minute things_.

+
+_Oxford in 1782_.
+
+(Vol. iii, p. 13, n. 3.)
+
+The Rev. C. P. Moritz (_ante_, p. liv) gives a curious account of
+his visit to Oxford. On his way from Dorchester on the evening of
+a Sunday in June, he had been overtaken by the Rev. Mr. Maud, who seems
+to have been a Fellow and Tutor of Corpus College[3], and who was
+returning from doing duty in his curacy. It was late when they arrived
+in the town. Moritz, who, as I have said, more than once had found
+great difficulty in getting a bed, had made up his mind to pass the
+summer night on a stonebench in the High Street. His comrade would not
+hear of this, but said that he would take him to an ale-house where
+'it is possible they mayn't be gone to bed, and we may yet find company.'
+This ale-house was the Mitre.
+
+'We went on a few houses further, and then knocked at a door. It was
+then nearly twelve. They readily let us in; but how great was my
+astonishment when, on being shown into a room on the left, I saw
+a great number of clergymen, all with their gowns and bands on, sitting
+round a large table, each with his pot of beer before him. My travelling
+companion introduced me to them as a German clergyman, whom he could not
+sufficiently praise for my correct pronunciation of the Latin, my
+orthodoxy, and my good walking.
+
+'I now saw myself in a moment, as it were, all at once transported
+into the midst of a company, all apparently very respectable men, but
+all strangers to me. And it appeared to me extraordinary that I should
+thus at midnight be in Oxford, in a large company of Oxonian clergy,
+without well knowing how I had got there. Meanwhile, however, I took
+all the pains in my power to recommend myself to my company, and in the
+course of conversation I gave them as good an account as I could of
+our German universities, neither denying nor concealing that now and
+then we had riots and disturbances. "Oh, we are very unruly here,
+too," said one of the clergymen, as he took a hearty draught out of his
+pot of beer, and knocked on the table with his hand. The conversation
+now became louder, more general, and a little confused. ... At last,
+when morning drew near, Mr. Maud suddenly exclaimed, "D-n me, I must
+read prayers this morning at All Souls!" "D-n me" is an abbreviation
+of "G-d d-n me," which in England does not seem to mean more mischief
+or harm than any of our or their common expletives in conversation,
+such as "O gemini!" or "The deuce take me!" ... I am almost ashamed
+to own, that next morning, when I awoke, I had got so dreadful a
+headache from the copious and numerous toasts of my jolly and reverend
+friends that I could not possibly get up.

+
+'I remember Dr. Routh, the old President of Magdalen, telling me of an
+interview and conversation between Dr. Johnson and Dr. Parr, in the
+course of which the former made use of some expression respecting the
+latter, which considerably wounded and offended him. "Sir," he said
+to Dr. Johnson, "you know that what you have just said will be known
+in four-and-twenty hours over this vast metropolis." Upon which Dr.
+Johnson's manner altered, his eye became calm, and he put out his hand,
+and said, "Forgive me, Parr, I didn't quite mean it." "But," said the
+President, with an amused and amusing look, "_I never could get him to
+tell me what it was Dr. Johnson had said!_" He spoke of seeing Dr.
+Johnson going up the steps into University College, dressed, I think,
+in a snuff-coloured coat.'
+
+Dr. Martin Joseph Routh, who was President of Magdalen College for
+sixty-four years, was born in 1755 and died on December 22, 1854.

+
+'And yet I did usually put in something in my Sermon which was above
+their own discovery, and which they had not known before; and this I
+did, that they might be kept humble, and still perceive their ignorance,
+and be willing to keep in a learning state. (For when Preachers tell

+
+'Once all the ignorant Rout were raging mad against me for preaching
+the Doctrine of Original Sin to them, and telling them that Infants
+before Regeneration had so much Guilt and Corruption, as made them
+loathsome in the Eyes of God: whereupon they vented it abroad in the
+Country, That I preached that God hated, or loathed Infants; so that
+they railed at me as I passed through the streets. The next Lord's Day,
+I cleared and confirmed it, and shewed them that if this were not true,
+their Infants had no need of Christ, of Baptism, or of Renewing by the
+Holy Ghost. And I asked them whether they durst say that their Children
+were saved without a Saviour, and were no Christians, and why they

+for 1784 was: '_Sir John Floyer on the Asthma_, lent to Dr. Johnson.'
+Johnson, no doubt, had taken the book with him to Ashbourne.

+Mr. Timmins says that the entries in this Lending Book unfortunately

+_The University of St. Andrews in 1778_.
+
+(Vol. v, p. 63, n. 2.)
+
+In the preface to _Poems by George Monck Berkeley_, it is recorded
+(p. cccxlviii) that when 'Mr. Berkeley entered at the University of
+St. Andrews [about 1778], one of the college officers called upon him
+to deposit a crown to pay for the windows he might break. Mr. Berkeley
+said, that as he should reside in his father's house, it was little
+likely he should break any windows, having never, that he remembered,
+broke one in his life. He was assured that he _would_ do it at St.
+Andrews. On the rising of the session several of the students said, "Now
+for the windows. Come, it is time to set off, let us sally forth!"
+Mr. Berkeley, being called upon, enquired what was to be done? They
+replied, "Why, to break every window in college." "For what reason?"
+"Oh! no reason; but that it has always been done from time immemorial."'
+The Editor goes on to say that Mr. Berkeley prevailed on them to give
+up the practice. How poor some of the students were is shown by the
+following anecdote, told by the College Porter, who had to collect the
+crowns. 'I am just come,' he said, 'from a poor student indeed. I went
+for the window _croon_; he cried, begged, and prayed not to pay it,
+saying, "he brought but a croon to keep him all the session, and he
+had spent sixpence of it; so I have got only four and sixpence."' His
+father, a labourer, who owned three cows, 'had sold one to dress his
+son for the University, and put the lamented croon in his pocket to
+purchase coals. All the lower students study by fire-light. He had
+brought with him a large tub of oatmeal and a pot of salted butter, on
+which he was to subsist from Oct. 20 until May 20.' Berkeley raised
+'a very noble subscription' for the poor fellow.
+
+In another passage (p. cxcviii) it is recorded that Berkeley 'boasted to
+his father, "Well, Sir, idle as you may think me, I never have once
+bowed at any Professor's Lecture." An explanation being requested of
+the word _bowing_, it was thus given: "Why, if any poor fellow has
+been a little idle, and is not prepared to speak when called upon by
+the Professor, he gets up and makes a respectful-bow, and sits down
+again."' Berkeley was a grandson of Bishop Berkeley.

+own country, at the end of a few years, his name and writings are almost
+obliterated. But his philosophy had been formed in the school of Locke,
+his divinity in that of Limborch and Le Clerc; in a long and laborious
+life several generations of pupils were taught to think and even to

+_Boswell's Projected Works._
+
+(Vol. v, p. 91, n. 2.)
+
+To this list should be added an account of a Tour to the Isle of Man
+(_ante_, iii. 80).
+
+
+
+_A cancel in the first edition of Boswell's 'Journal of a Tour to the
+Hebrides_.'
+
+(Vol. v, p. 151.)
+
+In my note on the suppression of offensive passages in the second edition
+of Boswell's _Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides_ (_ante_, v. 148), I
+mention that Rowlandson in one of his _Caricatures_ paints Boswell
+begging Sir Alexander Macdonald for mercy, while on the ground lie
+pages 165, 167, torn out. I have discovered, though too late to mention
+in the proper place, that in the first edition the leaf containing pages
+167, 168, was really cancelled. In my own copy I noticed between pages 168
+and 169 a narrow projecting slip of paper. I found the same in the copy
+in the British Museum. Mr. Horace Hart, the printer to the University,
+who has kindly examined my copy, informs me that the leaf was cancelled
+after the sheets had been stitched together. It was cut out, but an edge
+was left to which the new one was attached by paste. The leaf thus
+treated begins with the words 'talked with very high respect' (_ante_,
+v. 149) and ends 'This day was little better than a blank' (_ante_,
+v. 151). This conclusion was perhaps meant to be significant to the
+observant reader.
+
+
+
+_Boswell's conversation with the King about the title proper to be
+given to the Young Pretender._
+
+(Vol. v, p. 185, n. 4.)
+
+Dr. Lort wrote to Bishop Percy on Aug. 15, 1785:--
+
+'Boswell's book [_The Tour to the Hebrides_], I suppose, will be out
+in the winter. The King at his levée talked to him, as was natural, on
+this subject. Boswell told his majesty that he had another work on the
+anvil--a _History of the Rebellion in_ 1745 (_ante_, iii. 162); but
+that he was at a loss how to style the principal person who figured
+in it. "How would you style him, Mr. Boswell?" "I was thinking, Sire,
+of calling him the grandson of the unfortunate James the Second." "That
+I have no objection to; my title to the Crown stands on firmer ground
+--on an Act of Parliament." This is said to be the _substance_ of a
+conversation which passed at the levée. I wish I was certain of the
+exact words.'
+--Nichols's _Literary History_, vii. 472.
+
+
+
+_Shakespeare's popularity_.
+
+(Vol. v, p. 244, n. 2.)
+
+Gibbon, after describing how he used to attend Voltaire's private theatre
+at Monrepos in 1757 and 1758, continues:--
+
+'The habits of pleasure fortified my taste for the French theatre, and
+that taste has perhaps abated my idolatry for the gigantic genius of
+Shakespeare, which is inculcated from our infancy as the first duty of
+an Englishman.'
+--_Memoirs of Edward Gibbon_, ed. 1837, i. 90.
+
+
+
+_Archibald Campbell_.
+
+(Vol. v, p. 357.)
+
+Mr. C. E. Doble informs me that in the Bodleian Library 'there is a
+characteristic letter of Archibald Campbell in a _Life of Francis
+Lee_ in Rawlinson, J., 4to. 2. 197; and also a skeleton life of him
+in Rawlinson, J., 4to. 5. 301.'
+
+
+
+_Cocoa Tree Club._
+
+(Vol. v, p. 386, n. 1.)
+
+Gibbon records in his Journal on November 24, 1762, a visit to the Cocoa
+Tree Club:--
+
+'That respectable body, of which I have the honour of being a member,
+affords every evening a sight truly English. Twenty or thirty, perhaps,
+of the first men in the kingdom in point of fashion and fortune, supping
+at little tables covered with a napkin, in the middle of a coffee-room,
+upon a bit of cold meat or a sandwich, and drinking a glass of punch.
+At present we are full of king's counsellors and lords of the bed-chamber,
+who, having jumped into the ministry, make a very singular medley
+of their old principles and language with their modern ones.'
+--_Memoirs of Edward Gibbon_, ed. 1827, i. 131.
+
+
+
+_Johnson's use of the word 'big'_.
+
+(Vol. v, p. 425.)
+
+On volume i, page 471, Johnson says: 'Don't, Sir, accustom yourself to
+use big words for little matters.'
+
+
+
+_Atlas, the Duke of Devonshire's race-horse._
+
+(Vol. v, p. 429.)
+
+Johnson, in his _Diary of a Journey into North Wales_, records on
+July 12, 1774:--
+
+'At Chatsworth..., Atlas, fifteen hands inch and half.'
+
+Mr. Duppa in a note on this, says: 'A race-horse, which attracted so
+much of Dr. Johnson's attention, that he said, "of all the Duke's
+possessions I like Atlas best."'
+
+Thomas Holcroft, who in childhood wandered far and wide with his father,
+a pedlar, was at Nottingham during the race-week of the year 1756 or
+1757, and saw in its youth the horse which Johnson so much admired in
+its old age. He says: 'The great and glorious part which Nottingham held
+in the annals of racing this year, arose from the prize of the King's
+plate, which was to be contended for by the two horses which everybody
+I heard speak considered as undoubtedly the best in England, and perhaps
+ equal to any that had ever been known, Childers alone excepted. Their
+names were Careless and Atlas.....There was a story in circulation that
+Atlas, on account of his size and clumsiness, had been banished to the
+cart-breed; till by some accident, either of playfulness or fright,
+several of them started together; and his vast advantage in speed
+happening to be noticed, he was restored to his blood companions.....Alas
+for the men of Nottingham, Careless was conquered. I forget whether it
+was at two or three heats, but there was many an empty purse on that
+night, and many a sorrowful heart.'
+--_Memoirs of Thomas Holcroft_, i. 70.
+
+
+
+Sir Richard Clough.
+
+(Vol. v, p. 436.)
+
+There is an interesting note on Sir Richard Clough, the founder of Bâch
+y Graig, in Professor Rhys's edition of Pennant's _Tours in Wales_
+(vol. ii, p. 137). The Professor writes to me:--
+
+'Sir Richard Clough's wealth was so great that it became a saying of the
+people in North Wales that a man who grew very wealthy was or had become
+a Clough. This has long been forgotten; but it is still said in Welsh,
+in North Wales, that a very rich man is a regular _clwch_, which is
+pronounced with the guttural spirant, which was then (in the 16th
+century) sounded in English, just as the English word _draught_ (of
+drink) is in Welsh _dracht_ pronounced nearly as if it were German.'
+
+
+
+
+
+_Evan Evans._
+
+(Vol. v, p. 443.)
+
+Evan Evans, who is described as being 'incorrigibly addicted to strong
+drink,' was Curate of Llanvair Talyhaern, in Denbighshire, and author
+of _Some Specimens of the Poetry of Antient Welsh Bards translated into
+English_. London, R. & J. Dodsley, 1764. My friend Mr. Morfill informs
+me that he remembers to have seen it stated in a manuscript note in a
+book in the Bodleian, that 'Evan Evans would have written much more if
+he had not been so much given up to the bottle.'
+
+Gray thus mentions Evan Evans in a letter to Dr. Wharton, written in
+July, 1760:--
+
+'The Welsh Poets are also coming to light. I have seen a discourse in
+MS. about them (by one Mr. Evans, a clergyman) with specimens of their
+writings. This is in Latin; and though it don't approach the other
+[Macpherson], there are fine scraps among it.'
+--_The Works of Thomas Gray_, ed. by the Rev. John Mitford. London,
+1858, vol. iii, p. 250.

+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges. If you are redistributing or providing access to a work

+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE

+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS,' WITH NO OTHER

+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,

+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+https://pglaf.org/fundraising. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations. Its business office is located at
+809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email
+business@pglaf.org. Email contact links and up to date contact
+information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official
+page at https://pglaf.org
+
+For additional contact information:
+ Dr. Gregory B. Newby
+ Chief Executive and Director
+ gbnewby@pglaf.org
+
+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's
+eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII,
+compressed (zipped), HTML and others.
+
+Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over
+the old filename and etext number. The replaced older file is renamed.
+VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving
+new filenames and etext numbers.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
+
+EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000,
+are filed in directories based on their release date. If you want to
+download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular
+search system you may utilize the following addresses and just
+download by the etext year.
+
+http://www.ibiblio.org/gutenberg/etext06
+
+ (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99,
+ 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90)
+
+EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are
+filed in a different way. The year of a release date is no longer part
+of the directory path. The path is based on the etext number (which is
+identical to the filename). The path to the file is made up of single
+digits corresponding to all but the last digit in the filename. For
+example an eBook of filename 10234 would be found at:
+
+https://www.gutenberg.org/1/0/2/3/10234
+
+or filename 24689 would be found at:
+https://www.gutenberg.org/2/4/6/8/24689

+TITLES OF MANY OF THE WORKS
+QUOTED IN THE NOTES.
+
+
+In my notes I have often given but brief references to the authors whom
+I quote. The following list, which is not, however, so complete as I
+could wish, will, I hope, do much towards supplying the deficiency.
+Most of the poets, and a few of the prose writers also, I have not
+found it needful to include, as my references apply equally well to
+all editions of their works. The date in each case shows, not the
+year of the original publication, but of the edition to which I have
+referred.

+ADDENDA
+
+Last summer Messrs. Sotheby and Wilkinson sold some very interesting
+autograph letters written by Johnson to William Strahan, the printer.
+
+I was fortunate enough to find that the purchasers, with but one
+exception, were mindful of what Boswell so well describes as 'the general
+courtesy of literature[1],' and were ready to place their treasures
+at my service. To one of them, Mr. Frederick Barker, of 43, Rowan Road,
+Brook Green, I am still more indebted, for he entrusted me not only with
+the original letters which he had just bought, but also with some others
+that he had previously possessed. His Johnsonian collection is one of
+unusual interest. I have moreover to acknowledge my obligations to
+Mr. Fawcett, of 14, King Street, Covent Garden; to Messrs. J. Pearson
+and Co., of 46, Pall Mall; to Messrs. Robson and Kerslake, of Coventry
+Street, Haymarket; to Mr. Frank T. Sabin, of 10 and 12, Garrick Street,
+Covent Garden; and to Mr. John Waller, of 2, Artesian Road, Westbourne
+Grove. Those of the letters which are undated, I have endeavoured to
+assign to their proper places by internal evidence. The absence of a
+date is in itself very strong evidence that they belong to a comparatively
+early period (see _ante_, i. 122, n. 2).
+
+[Footnote 1: Ante, iv. 246.]

+I.
+
+_A letter about a projected Geographical Dictionary by Mr. Bathurst, with
+Bathurst's Proposal; dated March 22, probably written in 1753_.[In the
+possession of Mr. Frederick Barker, of 43, Rowan Road, Brook Green.]
+
+'SIR,
+
+'I have inclosed the Scheme which I mentioned yesterday in which the work
+proposed is sufficiently explained.
+
+'The Undertaker, Mr. Bathurst, is a Physician of the University of
+Cambridge, of about eight years standing, and will perform the work in
+such a manner as may satisfy the publick. No advice of mine will be
+wanting, but advice will be all that I propose to contribute unless it
+should be thought worth while that I should write a preface, which if
+desired I will do and put my name to it. The terms which I am commissioned
+to offer are these:
+
+'1. A guinea and half shall be paid for each sheet of the copy.
+
+'2. The authour will receive a Guinea and half a week from the date of
+the Contract.
+
+'3. As it is certain that many books will be necessary, the Authour will
+at the end of the work take the books furnished him in part of payment
+at prime Cost, which will be a considerable reduction of the price of
+the Copy; or if it seems as you thought yesterday no reduction, he will
+allow out of the last payment fifty pounds for the use of the Books and
+return them.
+
+'4. In two months after his first demand of books shall be supplied,
+he purposes to write three Sheets a week and to continue the same
+quantity to the end of the work, unless he shall be hindered by want of
+Books. He does not however expect to be always able to write according
+to the order of the Alphabet but as his Books shall happen to supply him,
+and therefore cannot send any part to the press till the whole is nearly
+finished.
+
+'5. He undertakes as usual the Correction.
+
+'I am, Sir, Your most humble servant,
+'SAM. JOHNSON.'
+
+'March 22nd.
+'To Mr. Strahan.'
+
+'PROPOSAL.
+
+'There is nothing more apparently wanting to the English Literature,
+than a Geographical Dictionary, which, though its use is almost every day
+necessary, not only to Men of Study, but of Trade or publick employment,
+yet has been hitherto, not only unperformed, but almost unattempted
+among us. Bohun's Dictionary, the only one which has any pretension to
+regard, owes that pretension only to its bulk; for it is in all parts
+contemptibly defective and is therefore deservedly forgotten. In
+Collier's Dictionary, what Geography there is, can scarcely be found
+among the crowd of other subjects, and when it is found, is of no great
+importance. The books of Eachard and Salmon, though useful for the ends
+proposed by them, are too small to be considered as anticipations of this
+work, which is intended to consist of two volumes of the same size and
+print with Harris's Dictionary, in which will be comprised the following
+particulars:
+
+'The situation of every Country with its Provinces and dependencies
+according to its present state, and latest observation.
+
+'The description of all remarkable Cities, Towns, Castles, Fortresses,
+and places observable for their situation, products or other particulars.
+
+'An account of the considerable Rivers, their Springs, Branches, Course,
+Outlets, how far navigable, the Produce and Qualities of their waters.
+
+'The course of Voyages, giving directions to sailors for navigating
+from one place of the World to another, with particular attention
+to the Traffic of these Kingdoms.
+
+'An account of all the principal Ports and Harbours of the known World,
+in which will be laid down the Pilotage, Bearings, depth of water,
+danger from Sands or Rocks, firmness or uncertainty of Anchorage, and
+degree of safety from particular Winds.
+
+'An exact account of the Commodities of each Country, both natural and
+artificial.
+
+'A description of the remarkable Animals in every Country, whether
+Beasts, Birds or Fishes.
+
+'An account of the Buildings, whether ancient or modern, and of Ruins
+or other remains of Antiquity.
+
+'Remarks upon the soil, air, and waters of particular Places, their
+several qualities and effects, the accidents to which every Region is
+exposed, as Earthquakes and Hurricanes, and the diseases peculiar to
+the Inhabitants or incident to strangers at their arrival.
+
+'The political State of the World, the Government of Countries, and the
+Magistracy of Cities, with their particular Laws, or Privileges.
+
+'The most probable and authentic Calculations of the number of Inhabitants
+of each place.
+
+'The military state of Countries, their Forces, manner of making War,
+Weapons, and naval Power.
+
+'The Commercial State, extent of their Trade, Number and strength of
+their Colonies, quantity of Shipping.
+
+'The pretensions of Princes with their Alliances, Relations and
+Genealogies.
+
+'The customs of Nations with regard to Trade, and receptions of strangers,
+their domestic Customs, as Rites of Marriage and Burial. Their particular
+Laws. Their habits, recreations and amusements.
+
+'The religious Opinions of all Nations.
+
+'These and many other heads of observation will be collected, not merely
+from the Dictionaries now extant in many Languages, but from the best
+Surveys, Local Histories, Voyages, and particular accounts[1], among
+which care will be taken to select those of the best authority, as the
+basis of the Work, and to extract from them such observations as may
+best promote Knowledge and gratify Enquiry, so that it is to be hoped,
+there will be few remarkable places in the known World, of which the
+Politician, the Merchant, the Sailor, or the Man of Curiosity may not
+find a useful and pleasing account, of the credit of which the Reader
+may always judge, as the Authors from whom it is taken will be regularly
+quoted, a caution which if some, who have attempted such general works,
+had observed, their labours would have deserved, and found more favour
+from the Publick.'
+
+[Footnote 1: That this is done will appear from the authours' names
+exactly quoted.]
+
+This letter must have been written about the year 1753, for Bathurst
+is described as a physician of about eight years' standing. He took
+his degree as Bachelor of Medicine at Peterhouse, Cambridge, in 1745,
+and did not, it should seem, proceed to the higher degree. In 1757
+he was at the Havannah, where he died (_ante_, i. 242, n. i). He was
+Johnson's beloved friend, of whom 'he hardly ever spoke without tears
+in his eyes' (_ante_, i. 190, n. 2). The Proposal, I have no doubt,
+was either written, or at all events revised, by Johnson. It is quite
+in his style. It may be assumed that it is in Bathurst's handwriting.
+
+II.
+
+_An apologetical letter about some work that was passing through the
+press; undated, but probably written about the years 1753-5_.[In the
+possession of Mr. Frederick Barker.]
+
+
+'DEAR SIR,
+
+'What you tell me I am ashamed never to have thought on--I wish I had
+known it sooner--Send me back the last sheet; and the last copy for
+correction. If you will promise me henceforward to print a sheet a day,
+I will promise you to endeavour that you shall have every day a sheet
+to print, beginning next Tuesday.
+
+'I am Sir, Your most, &c.
+
+'SAM. JOHNSON.'
+
+'To Mr. Strahan.'
+
+In all likelihood Johnson is writing about the Dictionary. The absence
+of a date, as I have already said, is strong evidence that the letter
+was written comparatively early. As the first edition of the Dictionary
+was in folio a sheet consisted of four pages. Johnson writing on April
+3, 1753 says, 'I began the second vol. of my Dictionary, room being left
+in the first for Preface, Grammar, and History, none of them yet begun'
+(_ante_, i. 255). As the book was published on April 15, 1755 (_ante_,
+i. 290, n. 1), the printing must have gone on very rapidly, when a
+start was once made. By _copy_ he means his _manuscript for printing_.
+
+III, IV.
+
+_Two undated letters about printing the Dictionary_.[In the possession
+of Mr. John Waller, 2, Artesian Road, Westbourne Grove.]
+
+'DEAR SIR,
+
+'I must desire you to add to your other civilities this one, to go to
+Mr. Millar and represent to him the manner of going on, and inform him
+that I know not how to manage. I pay three and twenty shillings a week
+to my assistants, in each instance having much assistance from them,
+but they tell me they shall be able to pull better in method, as indeed
+I intend they shall. The Point is to get two Guineas.
+
+'Sir, Your humble Servant,
+'SAM. JOHNSON.'
+(Address on back.) 'To Mr. Strahan.'
+
+'SIR,
+
+'I have often suspected that it is as you say, and have told Mr. Dodsley
+of it. It proceeds from the haste of the amanuensis to get to the end
+of his day's work. I have desired the passages to be clipped close, and
+then perhaps for two or three leaves it is done. But since poor Stuart's
+time I could never get that part of the work into regularity, and
+perhaps never shall. I will try to take some more care but can promise
+nothing; when I am told there is a sheet or two I order it away. You
+will find it sometimes close; when I make up any myself, which never
+happens but when I have nobody with me, I generally clip it close, but
+one cannot always be on the watch.
+
+'I am Sir, Your most, &c.
+'SAM. JOHNSON.'
+
+These letters refer to the printing of the _Dictionary_, of which
+Dodsley and Millar were two among the proprietors, and Strahan the
+printer. Francis Stuart or Stewart was one of Johnson's amanuenses
+(_ante_, i. 187). In 1779 Johnson paid his sister a guinea for an old
+pocket-book of her brother's (_ante_, iii. 418), and wrote on April
+8,1780 (_ante_, iii. 421):--'The memory of her brother is yet fresh
+in my mind; he was an ingenious and worthy man.' In February 1784 he
+gave her another guinea for a letter relating to himself that he had
+found in the pocket-book (_ante_, iv. 262). A writer in the _Gent. Mag._
+for 1799, p. 1171, who had been employed in Strahan's printing-works,
+says that 'Stewart was useful to Johnson in the explanation of low cant
+phrases; all words relating to gambling and card-playing, such as
+_All-Fours_, _Catch-honours_ [not in Johnson's Dictionary], _Cribbage_
+[merely defined as _A game at cards_], were said to be Stewart's
+corrected by the Doctor.' He adds that after the printing had gone
+on some time 'the proprietors of the _Dictionary_ paid Johnson through
+Mr. Strahan at the rate of a guinea for every sheet of MS. copy delivered.
+The copy was written upon quarto post, and in two columns each page.
+Johnson wrote in his own hand the words and their explanation, and
+generally two or three words in each column, leaving a space between
+each for the authorities, which were pasted on as they were collected
+by the different amanuenses employed: and in this mode the MS. was so
+regular that the sheets of MS. which made a sheet of print could be
+very exactly ascertained.' The same writer states that Stewart in a
+night ramble in Edinburgh with some of his drinking companions 'met with
+the mob conducting Captain Porteous to be hanged; they were next day
+examined about it before the Town Council, when, as Stewart used to say,
+"we were found to be too drunk to have any hand in the business." He
+gave an accurate account of it in the Edinburgh Magazine of that time.'
+
+V.
+
+_A letter about Miss Williams, taxes due, and a journey; undated, but
+perhaps written at Oxford in 1754_.[In the possession of Mr. Frederick
+Barker.]
+
+
+'SIR,
+
+'I shall not be long here, but in the mean time if Miss Williams wants
+any money pray speak to Mr. Millar and supply her, they write to me
+about some taxes which I wish you would pay.
+
+'My journey will come to very little beyond the satisfaction of knowing
+that there is nothing to be done, and that I leave few advantages here
+to those that shall come after me.
+
+'I am Sir, &c.
+
+'SAM. JOHNSON.'
+
+'My compliments to Mrs. Strahan.
+
+To Mr. Strahan.'
+
+Miss Williams came to live with Johnson after his wife's death in 1752
+(_ante_, i. 232). The fact that Strahan is asked to supply her with
+money after speaking to Mr. Millar seems to show that this letter was
+written some time before the publication of the _Dictionary_ in April
+1755. Millar 'took the principal charge of conducting its publication,'
+and Johnson 'had received all the copy-money, by different drafts, a
+considerable time before he had finished his task' (_ante_, i. 287).
+
+His 'journey' may have been his visit to Oxford in the summer of 1754.
+He went there, because, 'I cannot,' he said, 'finish my book [the
+Dictionary] to my mind without visiting the libraries' (_ante_, i. 270).
+According to Thomas Warton 'he collected nothing in the libraries for
+his _Dictionary_' (_ib_ n. 5). It is perhaps to this failure that the
+latter part of the letter refers, Johnson's visit, however, was one of
+five weeks, while the first line of the letter shews that he intended
+to be away from London but a short time.

+
+_A letter about 'Rasselas,' dated_ Jan. 20, 1759.[In the possession of
+Mr. Frederick Barker.]
+
+
+'When I was with you last night I told you of a story which I was
+preparing for the press. The title will be
+
+"The Choice of Life
+
+or
+
+The History of ... Prince of Abissinia."
+
+'It will make about two volumes like little Pompadour, that is about
+one middling volume. The bargain which I made with Mr. Johnson was
+seventy five pounds (or guineas) a volume, and twenty five pounds for
+the second edition. I will sell this either at that price or for sixty[2],
+the first edition of which he shall himself fix the number, and the
+property then to revert to me, or for forty pounds, and I have the
+profit that is retain half the copy. I shall have occasion for thirty
+pounds on Monday night when I shall deliver the book which I must
+entreat you upon such delivery to procure me. I would have it offered
+to Mr. Johnson, but have no doubt of selling it, on some of the terms
+mentioned.
+
+[Footnote 2: 'Fifty-five pounds' written first and then scored over.]
+
+'I will not print my name, but expect it to be known.
+I am Dear Sir, Your most humble servant,
+SAM. JOHNSON.
+Jan. 20, 1759.
+Get me the money if you can.'
+
+This letter is of unusual interest, as it proves beyond all doubt that
+_Rasselas_ was written some weeks before _Candide_ was published (see
+_ante_, i. 342, n. a). Baretti, as I have shewn (i. 341, n. 3), says
+that 'any other person with the degree of reputation Johnson then
+possessed would have got L400 for the work, but he never understood
+the art of making the most of his productions.' We see, however, by
+this letter that Johnson did ask for a larger sum than the booksellers
+allowed him. He received but one hundred pounds for the first edition,
+but he had made a bargain for one hundred and fifty pounds or guineas.
+Johnson, the bookseller, seems to have been but in a small way of
+business as a publisher. I do not find in the _Gentleman's Magazine_
+for 1758 any advertisement of books published by him, and only one in
+1759 (P. 339). Cowper's publisher in 1778 was Joseph Johnson of St.
+Paul's Churchyard. (Cowper's _Works_ by Southey, i. 285; see also
+Nichols' _Literary Anecdotes_, iii. 461-464.)
+
+By 'little Pompadour' Johnson, no doubt, means the second and cheaper
+edition of _The History of the Marchioness de Pompadour_. The first
+edition was published by Hooper in one volume, price five shillings
+(_Gent. Mag_. for October 1758, p. 493). and the second in two volumes
+for three shillings and sixpence (_Gent. Mag_. for November, 1758,
+p. 543).
+
+Johnson did not generally 'print his name.' He published anonymously his
+translation of _Lobos Voyage to Abyssinia; London; The Life of Savage;
+The Rambler_, and _The Idler_, both in separate numbers and when
+collected in volumes; _Rasselas; The False Alarm; Falkland's Islands;
+The Patriot;_, and _Taxation no Tyranny_; (when these four pamphlets
+were collected in a volume he published them with the title of _Political
+Tracts, by the Authour of the Rambler_). He gave his name in _The Vanity
+of Human Wishes, Irene_, the _Dictionary_, his edition of _Shakespeare_,
+the _Journey to the Western Islands_, and the _Lives of the Poets_.

+
+_A letter about George Strahan's election to a scholarship at University
+College, Oxford, and about William Strahan's 'affair with the University';
+dated October 24, 1764_.[In the possession of Mr. Frederick Barker.]
+
+
+'SIR,
+
+'I think I have pretty well disposed of my young friend George, who, if
+you approve of it, will be entered next Monday a Commoner of University
+College, and will be chosen next day a Scholar of the House. The
+Scholarship is a trifle, but it gives him a right, upon a vacancy, to
+a Fellowship of more than sixty pounds a year if he resides, and I
+suppose of more than forty if he takes a Curacy or small living. The
+College is almost filled with my friends, and he will be well treated.
+The Master is informed of the particular state of his education, and
+thinks, what I think too, that for Greek he must get some private
+assistance, which a servitour of the College is very well qualified
+and will be very willing to afford him on very easy terms.
+
+'I must desire your opinion of this scheme by the next post, for the
+opportunity will be lost if we do not now seize it, the Scholarships
+being necessarily filled up on Tuesday.
+
+'I depend on your proposed allowance of a hundred a year, which must
+the first year be a little enlarged because there are some extraordinary
+expenses, as
+
+
+Caution (which is allowed in his last quarter). . 7 0 0
+Thirds. (He that enters upon a room pays two
+thirds of the furniture that he finds, and
+receives from his successor two thirds of what
+he pays; so that if he pays L20 he receives
+L13 6s. 8d., this perhaps may be) 12 0 0
+Fees at entrance, matriculation &c., perhaps 2 0 0
+His gown (I think) 2 10 0
+ ________
+ L 23 10 0
+
+'If you send us a Bill for about thirty pounds we shall set out
+commodiously enough. You should fit him out with cloaths and linen,
+and let him start fair, and it is the opinion of those whom I consult,
+that with your hundred a year and the petty scholarship he may live
+with great ease to himself, and credit to you.
+
+'Let me hear as soon as is possible.
+
+'In your affair with the university, I shall not be consulted, but I
+hear nothing urged against your proposal.
+
+'I am, Sir,
+'Your humble servant,
+'SAM. JOHNSON.'
+
+'Oct. 24, 1764.
+
+'My compliments to Mrs. Strahan.
+
+'To Mr. Strahan, Printer, in New Street, Shoe-lane, London.'
+
+My friend, Mr. C. J. Faulkner, Fellow and Tutor of University College,
+has given me the following extracts from the College records:--
+
+'Oct. 30-31, 1764. Candidatis examinatis electi sunt Gulielmus Jones
+et Georgius Strahan in vacuas Exhibitiones Dmi Simonis Benet Baronetti.'
+
+Gulielmus Jones is the famous oriental scholar, Sir William Jones, whose
+portrait adorns the Hall of his ancient College (_ante_, ii. 25, n. 2).
+
+On April 16, 1767, is found the election of 'Georgium Strahan, sophistam
+in perpetuum hujus Collegii Socium.'
+
+He vacated his fellowship in 1773.
+
+The value of a Bennet scholarship in 1764 was ten pounds a year, with
+rooms added, the rent of which was reckoned as equal to two pounds more.
+A fellowship on the same foundation was worth about twenty pounds, with
+a yearly dividend added to it that amounted to about thirty pounds.
+'Fines' (_ante_, iii. 323) and other extra payments might easily raise
+the value to more than sixty pounds.
+
+The 'caution' is the sum deposited by an undergraduate with the College
+Bursar or Steward as a security for the payment of his 'battells' or
+account. Johnson in 1728 had to pay at Pembroke College the same sum
+(seven pounds) that George Strahan in 1764 had to pay at University
+College. _Ante_, i. 58, n. 2.
+
+Johnson wrote four letters to George Strahan, when he was a boy at
+school, and one letter when he was at College. (See Croker's _Johnson_,
+pp. 129, 130, 161, 168.) In this last letter, dated May 25, 1765, he
+writes: 'Do not tire yourself so much with Greek one day as to be afraid
+of looking on it the next; but give it a certain portion of time,
+suppose four hours, and pass the rest of the day in Latin or English.
+I would have you learn French, and take in a literary journal once a
+month, which will accustom you to various subjects, and inform you what
+learning is going forward in the world. Do not omit to mingle some
+lighter books with those of more importance; that which is read _remisso
+animo_ is often of great use, and takes great hold of the remembrance.
+However, take what course you will, if you be diligent you will be a
+scholar.'
+
+George Strahan attended Johnson on his death-bed, and published the
+volume called _Prayers and Meditations composed by Samuel Johnson_.
+_Ante_, i. 235, n. i; iv. 376, n. 4.
+
+William Strahan's 'affair with the University' was very likely connected
+with the lease of the University Printing House. From the 'Orders of
+the Delegates of the Press,' 1758, I have been permitted to copy the
+following entry, which bears a date but six days later than that of
+Johnson's letter.
+
+'Tuesday, Oct. 30, 1764. At a meeting of the Delegates of the Press.
+
+'Ordered,
+
+'That the following articles be made the foundation of the new lease
+to be granted of the moiety of the Printing House; that a copy of them
+be delivered to Mr. Baskett and Mr. Eyre, and that they be desired to
+give in their respective proposals at a meeting to be held on Tuesday
+the sixth of November.' (P. 41.)
+
+The chief part of the lease consisted of the privilege to print Bibles
+and Prayer Books. I conjecture that Strahan had hoped to get a share in
+the lease.
+
+
+VIII.
+
+_A letter about a cancel in Johnson's 'Journey to the Western Islands
+of Scotland', dated Nov. 30_, 1774.[In the possession of Messrs. Pearson
+and Co., 46, Pall Mall.]
+
+
+'SIR,
+
+'I waited on you this morning having forgotten your new engagement; for
+this you must not reproach me, for if I had looked upon your present
+station with malignity I could not have forgotten it. I came to consult
+you upon a little matter that gives me some uneasiness. In one of the
+pages there is a severe censure of the clergy of an English Cathedral
+which I am afraid is just, but I have since recollected that from me
+it may be thought improper, for the Dean did me a kindness about forty
+years ago. He is now very old, and I am not young. Reproach can do
+him no good, and in myself I know not whether it is zeal or wantonness.
+Can a leaf be cancelled without too much trouble? tell me what I shall
+do. I have no settled choice, but I would not wish to allow the charge.
+To cancel it seems the surer side. Determine for me.
+
+'I am, Sir, Your most humble servant,
+'SAM. JOHNSON.'
+'Nov. 30, 1774.
+
+'Tell me your mind: if you will cancel it I will write something to fill
+up the vacuum. Please to direct to the borough.'
+
+Mr. Strahan's 'new engagement' was in the House of Commons at Westminster,
+to which he had been elected for the first time as member for Malmesbury.
+The new Parliament had met on Nov. 29, the day before the date of
+Johnson's letter (_Parl. Hist_, xviii. 23).
+
+The leaf that Johnson cancelled contained pages 47, 48 in the first
+edition of his _Journey to the Western Islands_. It corresponds with
+pages 19-30 in vol. ix. of Johnson's _Works_ (ed. 1825), beginning
+with the words 'could not enter,' and ending 'imperfect constitution.'
+The excision is marked by a ridge of paper, which was left that the
+revised leaf might be attached to it. Johnson describes how the lead
+which covered the Cathedrals of Elgin and Aberdeen had been stripped
+off by the order of the Scottish Council, and shipped to be sold in
+Holland. He continues:--'Let us not however make too much haste to
+despise our neighbours. Our own cathedrals are mouldering by unregarded
+dilapidation. It seems to be part of the despicable philosophy of the
+time to despise monuments of sacred magnificence, and we are in danger
+of doing that deliberately, which the Scots did not do but in the
+unsettled state of an imperfect constitution.'
+
+In the copy of the first edition in the Bodleian Library, which had
+belonged to Gough the antiquary, there is written in his hand, as a
+foot-note to 'neighbours': 'There is now, as I have heard, a body
+of men not less decent or virtuous than the Scottish Council, longing
+to melt the lead of an English Cathedral. What they shall melt, it
+were just that they should swallow.' It can scarcely be doubted that
+this is the suppressed passage. The English Cathedral to which Johnson
+refers was, I believe, Lichfield. 'The roof,' says Harwood (History of
+Lichfield, p. 75), 'was formerly covered with lead, but now with slate.'
+Addenbroke, who had been Dean since 1745, was, we may assume, very old
+at the time when Johnson wrote. I had at first thought it not unlikely
+that it was Dr. Thomas Newton, Dean of St. Paul's and Bishop of Bristol,
+who was censured. He was a Lichfield man, and was known to Johnson (see
+_ante_, iv. 285, n. 3). He was, however, only seventy years old. I am
+informed moreover by the Rev. W. Sparrow Simpson, the learned editor
+of _Documents illustrating the History of St. Paul's_, that it is
+very improbable that at this time the Dean and Chapter of St. Paul's
+entertained such a thought.
+
+My friend Mr. C. E. Doble has kindly furnished me with the following
+curious parallel to Johnson's suppressed wish about the molten lead.
+
+'The chappell of our Lady [at Wells], late repayred by Stillington,
+a place of great reverence and antiquitie, was likewise defaced, and
+such was their thirst after lead (I would they had drunke it scalding)
+that they tooke the dead bodies of bishops out of their leaden coffins,
+and cast abroad the carkases skarce throughly putrified.'--Harington's
+_Nuga Antiquae_, ii. 147 (ed. 1804).
+
+In the postscript Johnson says 'Please to direct to the borough.' He
+was staying in Mr. Thrale's town-house in the Borough of Southwark.
+(See _ante_, i, 493.)
+

+
+_A letter about apprenticing a lad to Mr. Strahan, and about a
+presentation to the Blue Coat School, dated December 22_, 1774. [In
+the possession of Messrs. Robson and Kerslake, 25, Coventry Street
+Haymarket.]
+
+
+'Sir,
+
+'When we meet we talk, and I know not whether I always recollect what
+I thought I had to say.
+
+'You will please to remember that I once asked you to receive an
+apprentice, who is a scholar, and has always lived in a clergyman's
+house, but who is mishapen, though I think not so as to hinder him
+at the case. It will be expected that I should answer his Friend
+who has hitherto maintained him, whether I can help him to a place.
+He can give no money, but will be kept in cloaths.
+
+'I have another request which it is perhaps not immediately in your
+power to gratify. I have a presentation to beg for the blue coat
+hospital. The boy is a non-freeman, and has both his parents living.
+We have a presentation for a freeman which we can give in exchange.
+If in your extensive acquaintance you can procure such an exchange,
+it will be an act of great kindness. Do not let the matter slip out
+of your mind, for though I try others I know not any body of so much
+power to do it.
+
+'I am, Sir, Your most humble Servant,
+
+'SAM. JOHNSON.'
+
+'Dec. 22, 1774.'
+
+The apprentice was young William Davenport, the orphan son of a clergyman.
+His friend was the Rev. W. Langley, the master of Ashbourne School.
+Strahan received him as an apprentice (_ante_, ii. 334, n. i). See also
+Nichols' _Literary Anecdotes_, vol. iii. p. 287.
+
+The 'case' is the frame containing boxes for holding type.

+
+_A letter about suppressions in 'Taxation no Tyranny! dated March 1,
+1775_.[In the possession of Mr. Frank T. Sabin, 10 & 12, Garrick Street
+Covent Garden.]
+
+
+'SIR,
+
+'I am sorry to see that all the alterations proposed are evidences of
+timidity. You may be sure that I do [? not] wish to publish, what those
+for whom I write do not like to have published. But print me half a
+dozen copies in the original state, and lay them up for me. It concludes
+well enough as it is.
+
+'When you print it, if you print it, please to frank one to me here, and
+frank another to Mrs. Aston at Stow Hill, Lichfield.
+
+'The changes are not for the better, except where facts were mistaken.
+The last paragraph was indeed rather contemptuous, there was once more
+of it which I put out myself.
+
+'I am Sir, Your humble Servant,
+'SAM. JOHNSON.'
+
+'March 1, 1775.'
+
+This letter refers to _Taxation no Tyranny_, which was published before
+March 31, 1775, the date of Boswell's arrival in London (_ante_, ii.
+311). Boswell says that he had in his possession 'a few proof leaves
+of it marked with corrections in Johnson's own hand-writing' (ib. p.
+313). Johnson, he says,' owned to me that it had been revised and
+curtailed by some of those who were then in power.' When Johnson writes
+'when you print it, if you print it,' he uses, doubtless, _print_ in
+the sense of _striking off copies_. The pamphlet was, we may assume, in
+type before it was revised by 'those in power.' The corrections had been
+made in the proof-sheets. Johnson asks to have six copies laid by for
+him in the state in which he had wished to publish it. It seems that the
+last paragraph had been struck out by the reviser, for Johnson says 'it
+was rather contemptuous.' He does not think it needful to supply anything
+in its place, for he says 'it concludes well enough as it is.'
+
+Mr. Strahan had the right, as a member of Parliament, to frank all
+letters and packets. That is to say, by merely writing his signature on
+the cover he could pass them through the post free of charge. Johnson,
+when he wrote to Scotland, used to employ him to frank his letters,
+'that he might have the consequence of appearing a parliament-man among
+his countrymen' (_ante_, iii. 364). It was to Oxford that a copy of the
+pamphlet was to be franked to Johnson. That he was there at the time is
+shown by a letter from him in Mrs. Piozzi's _Collection_ (vol. i. p.
+212), dated 'University College, Oxford, March 3, 1775.' Writing to her,
+evidently from Bolt Court, on February 3, he had said: 'My pamphlet has
+not gone on at all' (ib. i. 211). Mrs. Aston (or rather Miss Aston) is
+mentioned _ante_, ii. 466.
+
+
+
+XI
+
+_A letter about 'copy' and a book by Professor Watson, dated Oct. 14,
+1776'_.[In the possession of Mr. H. Fawcett, of 14, King Street, Covent
+Garden.]
+
+
+'SIR,
+
+'I wrote to you about ten days ago, and sent you some copy. You have
+not written again, that is a sorry trick.
+
+'I am told that you are printing a Book for Mr. Professor Watson of
+Saint Andrews, if upon any occasion, I can give any help, or be of any
+use, as formerly in Dr. Robertson's publication, I hope you will make
+no scruple to call upon me, for I shall be glad of an opportunity to
+show that my reception at Saint Andrews has not been forgotten.
+
+'I am Sir, Your humble Servant,
+'SAM. JOHNSON.'
+
+'Oct. 14, 1776.'
+
+The' copy' or MS. that Johnson sent is, I conjecture, _Proposals for
+the Rev. Mr. Shaw's Analysis of the Scotch Celtick Language_ (_ante_,
+iii. 107). This is the only acknowledged piece of writing of his during
+1776. The book printing for Professor Watson was _History of the Reign
+of Philip II_, which was published by Strahan and Cadell in 1777. This
+letter is of unusual interest, as showing that Johnson had been of some
+service as regards one of Robertson's books. It is possible that he
+read some of the proof-sheets, and helped to get rid of the Scotticisms.
+'Strahan,' according to Beattie, 'had corrected (as he told me himself)
+the phraseology of both Mr. Hume and Dr. Robertson' (_ante_, v. 92,
+n. 3). He is not unlikely, in Robertson's case, to have sought and
+obtained Johnson's help.
+
+
+
+XII.
+
+_The following letter is published in Mr. Alfred Morrison's 'Collection
+of Autographs', vol. ii. p. 343._
+
+'To Dr. TAYLOR. Dated London, April 20, 1778.'
+
+'The quantity of blood taken from you appears to me not sufficient.
+Thrale was almost lost by the scrupulosity of his physicians, who never
+bled him copiously till they bled him in despair; he then bled till he
+fainted, and the stricture or obstruction immediately gave way and from
+that instant he grew better.
+
+'I can now give you no advice but to keep yourself totally quiet and
+amused with some gentle exercise of the mind. If a suspected letter
+comes, throw it aside till your health is reestablished; keep easy and
+cheerful company about you, and never try to think but at those stated
+and solemn times when the thoughts are summoned to the cares of futurity,
+the only cares of a rational being.
+
+'As to my own health I think it rather grows better; the convulsions
+which left me last year at Ashbourne have never returned, and I have by
+the mercy of God very comfortable nights. Let me know very often how you
+are till you are quite well.'
+
+This letter, though it is dated 1778, must have been written in 1780.
+Thrale's first attack was in June, 1779, when he was in 'extreme danger'
+(_ante_, iii. 397, n. 2, 420). Johnson had the remission of the
+convulsions on June 18, 1779. He recorded on June 18, 1780:--
+
+'In the morning of this day last year I perceived the remission of
+those convulsions in my breast which had distressed me for more than
+twenty years. I returned thanks at church for the mercy granted me,
+which has now continued a year.'--_Prayers and Meditations_, p. 183.
+
+
+Three days later he wrote to Mrs. Thrale:--
+
+'It was a twelvemonth last Sunday since the convulsions in my breast
+left me. I hope I was thankful when I recollected it; by removing
+that disorder a great improvement was made in the enjoyment of life.'
+--_Piozzi Letters_, ii. 163. (See _ante_, iii. 397, n. 1.)
+
+He was at Ashbourne on June 18, 1779 (_ante_, iii. 453).
+
+On April 20, 1778, the very day of which this letter bears the date,
+he recorded:--
+
+'After a good night, as I am forced to reckon, I rose seasonably....
+In reviewing my time from Easter, 1777, I found a very melancholy
+and shameful blank. So little has been done that days and months are
+without any trace. My health has, indeed, been very much interrupted.
+My nights have been commonly not only restless, but painful and fatiguing.
+....Some relaxation of my breast has been procured, I think, by opium,
+ which, though it never gives me sleep, frees my breast from spasms.'
+--_Prayers and Meditations_, p. 169. See _ante_, iii. 317, n. 1.
+
+For Johnson's advice about bleeding, see _ante_, iii. 152; and for
+possible occasions for 'suspected letters,' _ante_, i. 472, n. 4;

+_Mr. Mason's 'sneering observation in his "Memoirs of Mr. William

+(Vol. i, p. 31.)
+
+I had long failed to find a copy of these _Memoirs_, though I had
+searched in the Bodleian, the British Museum, and the London Library, and
+had applied to the University Library at Cambridge, and the Advocates'
+Library at Edinburgh. By the kindness of Mr. R. H. Soden Smith and Mr.
+R. F. Sketchley, I have obtained the following extract from a copy in
+the Dyce and Forster Libraries, in the South Kensington Museum:--
+
+'Conscious, notwithstanding, that to avoid writing what is _unnecessary_
+is, in these days, no just plea for silence in a biographer, I have some
+apology to make for having strewed these pages so thinly with the
+tittle-tattle of anecdote. I am, however, too proud to make this apology
+to any person but my bookseller, who will be the only real loser by the
+'Those readers, who believe that I do not write immediately under
+his pay, and who may have gathered from what they have already read,
+that I am not so passionately enamoured of Dr. Johnson's biographical
+manner, as to take that for my model, have only to throw these pages
+aside, and wait till they are new-written by some one of his numerous
+disciples, who may follow his master's example; and should more anecdote
+than I furnish him with be wanting (as was the Doctor's case in his
+life of Mr. Gray), may make amends for it by those acid eructations
+of vituperative criticism, which are generated by unconcocted taste and
+intellectual indigestion.'--_Poems by William Whitehead_, York, 1788

+over in silence, the Memoirs close.

+'"He that follows is _Florismarte of Hyrcania_" said the barber. "What!
+is Signor Florismarte there?" replied the priest; "in good faith he shall
+share the same fate, notwithstanding his strange birth and chimerical
+adventures; for his harsh and dry style will admit of no excuse. To the
+yard with him, therefore." "With all my heart, dear Sir," answered the
+housekeeper; "and with joyful alacrity she executed the command.'"
+--_Don Quixote_, ed. 1820, i. 48.
+
+Boswell speaks of _Felixmarte_ as the old Spanish romance. In the
+_Bibliografia dei Romanzi e Poeini Cavallereschi Italiani_ (2nd ed.,
+Milan, 1838), p. 351, it is stated that in the Spanish edition it is
+called a translation from the Italian, and in the Italian edition a
+translation from the Spanish. The Italian title is _Historia di Don
+Florismante d'Ircania, tradotta dallo Spagnuolo_. Cervantes, in an
+edition of _Don Quixote_, published in 1605, which I have looked at,
+calls the book _Florismarte de Hircania_ (not _Florismante_). It should
+seem that he made his hero read the Italian version.

+better judgment let this and _Amadis de Gaul_ be exempted from the

+so neighbour," replied the barber, "for behold here the renowned
+_Don Belianis_." The priest replied, "This with the second, third,
+and fourth parts, wants a little rhubarb to purge away its excessive
+choler; there should be removed too all that relates to the castle
+of Fame, and other impertinencies of still greater consequence; let them

+Olive Lloyd, the daughter of the first Sampson Lloyd, of Birmingham,
+and aunt of the Sampson Lloyd with whom he had an altercation (_ante_,

+
+The following note by Malone I failed to quote in the right place. It
+is copied from a paper, written by Lady Knight.
+
+'Mrs. Williams's account of Mrs. Johnson was, that she had a good
+understanding and great sensibility, but inclined to be satirical. Her
+first husband died insolvent [this is a mistake, see _ante_, i. 95,
+n. 3]; her sons were much disgusted with her for her second marriage;
+... however, she always retained her affection for them. While they
+[Mr. and Mrs. Johnson] resided in Gough Square, her son, the officer,
+knocked at the door, and asked the maid if her mistress was at home.
+She answered, "Yes, Sir, but she is sick in bed." "Oh," says he, "if
+it's so, tell her that her son Jervis called to know how she did;" and
+was going away. The maid begged she might run up to tell her mistress,
+and, without attending his answer, left him. Mrs. Johnson, enraptured
+to hear her son was below, desired the maid to tell him she longed to
+embrace him. When the maid descended the gentleman was gone, and poor
+Mrs. Johnson was much agitated by the adventure; it was the only time
+he ever made an effort to see her. Dr. [Mr.] Johnson did all he could
+to console his wife, but told Mrs. Williams: "Her son is uniformly
+undutiful; so I conclude, like many other sober men, he might once in
+his life be drunk, and in that fit nature got the better of his pride."'

+_Johnson's application for the mastership of the Grammar School at

+
+(Vol. i, p. 96.)
+
+Johnson, a few weeks after his marriage, applied for the mastership of
+Solihull Grammar School, as is shown by the following letter, preserved
+in the Pembroke College MSS., addressed to Mr. Walmsley, and quoted by
+Mr. Croker. I failed to insert it in my notes.
+
+_'Solihull, the 30 August 1735._
+
+'SIR,

+'I was favoured with yours of the 13th inst. in due time, but deferred
+answering it til now, it takeing up some time to informe the Foeofees
+of the contents thereof; and before they would return an Answer, desired
+some time to make enquiry of the caracter of Mr. Johnson, who all agree
+that he is an excellent scholar, and upon that account deserves much
+better than to be schoolmaster of Solihull. But then he has the caracter
+of being a very haughty, ill-natured gent., and that he has such a way of
+distorting his Face (which though he can't help) the gent, think it
+may affect some young ladds; for these two reasons he is not approved
+on, the late master Mr. Crompton's huffing the Foeofees being stil in
+their memory. However, we are all exstreamly obliged to you for thinking
+of us, and for proposeing so good a schollar, but more especially is,
+dear sir,

+'Your very humble servant,

+
+
+_Johnson's knowledge of Italian_.
+
+(Vol. i, p. 115.)
+
+Boswell says that he does not know 'at what time, or by what means
+Johnson had acquired a competent knowledge of Italian.' In my note
+on this I say 'he had read Petrarch "when but a boy."' As Petrarch
+wrote chiefly in Latin, it is quite possible that Johnson did not
+acquire his knowledge of Italian so early as I had thought.
+
+
+
+_Johnson's deference for the general opinion_.
+
+(Vol. i, p. 200.)
+
+Miss Burney records an interesting piece of criticism by Johnson. 'There
+are,' he said, 'three distinct kinds of judges upon all new authors or
+productions; the first are those who know no rules, but pronounce
+entirely from their natural taste and feelings; the second are those who
+know and judge by rules; and the third are those who know, but are above
+the rules. These last are those you should wish to satisfy. Next to them
+rate the natural judges; but ever despise those opinions that are formed
+by the rules.'--_Mine. D'Arblay's Diary_, i. 180. Later on she writes:
+--'The natural feelings of untaught hearers ought never to be slighted;
+and Dr. Johnson has told me the same a thousand times;' ib. ii. 128.
+
+
+
+_Johnson in the Green Room_.
+
+(Vol. i, p. 201.)
+
+Mr. Richard Herne Shepherd, in _Watford's Antiquarian_ for January,
+1887, p. 34, asserts that the actual words which Johnson used when
+he told Garrick that he would no longer frequent his Green Room were
+indecent; so indecent that Mr. Shepherd can only venture to satisfy
+those whom he calls students by informing them of them privately. For
+proof of this charge against the man whose boast it was that 'obscenity
+had always been repressed in his company' (_ante_, iv. 295) he brings
+forward John Wilkes. The story, indeed, as it is told by Boswell, is
+not too trustworthy, for he had it through Hume from Garrick. As it
+reaches Mr. Shepherd it comes from Garrick through Wilkes. Garrick, no
+doubt, as Johnson says (_ante_, v. 391), was, as a companion, 'restrained
+by some principle,' and had 'some delicacy of feeling.' Nevertheless,
+in his stories, he was, we may be sure, no more on oath than a man is
+in lapidary inscriptions (_ante_, ii. 407). It is possible that he
+reported Johnson's very words to Hume, and that Hume did not change
+them in reporting them to Boswell. Whatever they were, they were spoken
+in 1749 and published in 1791, when Johnson had been dead six years,
+Garrick twelve years, and Hume fourteen years. It is idle to dream that
+they can now be conjecturally emended. But it is worse than idle to
+bring in as evidence John Wilkes. What entered his ear as purity itself
+might issue from his mouth as the grossest obscenity. He had no delicacy
+of feeling. No principle restrained him. When he comes to bear testimony,
+and aims a shaft at any man's character, the bow that he draws is drawn
+with the weakness of the hand of a worn-out and shameless profligate.
+
+Mr. Shepherd quotes an unpublished letter of Boswell to Wilkes, dated
+Rome, April 22, 1765, to show 'that the two men had become familiars,
+not only long before Wilkes's famous meeting with Dr. Johnson was brought
+about, but before even the friendship of Boswell himself with Johnson
+had been consolidated.' It needs no unpublished letters to show that. It
+must be known to every attentive reader of Boswell. See _ante_, i. 395,
+and ii. 11.

+opinion that travelling is of very little use, and may do a great deal
+of harm. ... I esteem and love my father, and I am determined to do what
+is in my power to make him easy and happy. But you will allow that I
+may endeavour to make him happy, and at the same time not to be too hard
+upon myself. I must use you so much with the freedom of a friend as to
+tell you that with the vivacity which you allowed me I have a melancholy
+disposition. I have made excursions into the fields of amusement, perhaps
+of folly. I have found that amusement and folly are beneath me, and that
+without some laudable pursuit my life must be insipid and wearisome.....
+My father seems much against my going to Italy, but gives me leave to go
+from this, and pass some months in Paris. I own that the words of the
+Apostle Paul, "I must see Rome," are strongly _borne in_ upon my mind. It
+would give me infinite pleasure. It would give taste for a life-time,
+and I should go home to Auchinleck with serene contentment.'

+After stating that he is going to Geneva, he continues:--

+I was provoked to hear (see M. d'Alembert, _Discours preliminaire a

+
+'The _Advertisement to Religion and Policy, by Edward Earl of Clarendon_,
+runs as follows:--
+
+"Henry Viscount Cornbury, who was called up to the House of Peers
+by the title of Lord Hyde, in the lifetime of his father, Henry Earl
+of Rochester, by a codicil to his will, dated Aug. 10, 1751, left
+divers MSS. of his great grandfather, Edward Earl of Clarendon, to
+Trustees, with a direction that the money to arise from the sale or
+publication thereof, should be employed as a beginning of a fund for
+supporting a Manage or Academy for riding and other useful exercises
+in Oxford; a plan of this sort having been also recommended by Lord
+Clarendon in his Dialogue on Education. Lord Cornbury dying before
+his father, this bequest did not take effect. But Catharine, one of
+the daughters of Henry Earl of Rochester, and late Duchess Dowager
+of Queensbury, whose property these MSS. became, afterwards by deed
+gave them, together with all the monies which had arisen or might arise
+from the sale or publication of them, to [three Trustees] upon trust
+for the like purposes as those expressed by Lord Hyde in his codicil."
+
+'The preface to the _Life of Edward Earl of Clarendon, written by
+himself_., has words to the same effect. (See also _Notes and Queries_,
+Ser. I. x. 185, and xi. 32.)
+
+'From a letter in _Notes and Queries_, Ser. II. x. p. 74, it appears
+that in 1860 the available sum, in the hands of the Trustees of the
+Clarendon Bequest, amounted to L10,000. The University no longer needed
+a riding-school, and the claims of Physical Science were urgent; and in
+1872 the announcement was made, that by the liberality of the Clarendon
+Trustees an additional wing had been added to the University Museum,
+containing the lecture-rooms and laboratories of the department of
+Experimental Philosophy.' Vol. i. p. 305.

+
+I have learnt, through Mr. Morrison's kindness, that 'on the document
+itself there is the following memorandum, signed, so far as can be made
+out, H. W. R.:--
+
+"The enclosed song was written and composed by James Boswell, the
+biographer of Johnson, in commemoration of a tour he made with Mrs.
+Rudd whilst she was under his protection, for living with whom he
+displeased his father so much that he threatened to disinherit him.
+
+"Mrs. Rudd had lived with one of the Perreaus, who were tried and
+executed for forgery. She was tried at the same time and acquitted.
+
+"My father having heard that Boswell used to sing this song at the Home
+Circuit, requested it of him, and he wrote it and gave it him. H.W. R."'

+Christopher Smart.
+
+(Vol. ii, p. 454, n. 3.)
+
+Mr. Robert Browning, in his Parleyings with Christopher Smart, under
+the similitude of 'some huge house,' thus describes the general run of
+that unfortunate poet's verse:--
+
+ 'All showed the Golden Mean without a hint
+ Of brave extravagance that breaks the rule.
+ The master of the mansion was no fool
+ Assuredly, no genius just as sure!
+ Safe mediocrity had scorned the lure
+ Of now too much and now too little cost,
+ And satisfied me sight was never lost
+ Of moderate design's accomplishment
+ In calm completeness.'
+
+Mr. Browning goes on to liken one solitary poem to a Chapel in the house,
+in which is found--
+
+ 'from floor to roof one evidence
+ Of how far earth may rival heaven.'

+_Johnsons discussion on baptism--with Mr. Lloyd, the Birmingham Quaker_.
+
+(Vol. ii, p. 458.)
+
+In _Farm and its Inhabitants_ (_ante_, p. xlii), a further account is
+given of the controversy between Johnson and Mr. Lloyd the Quaker, on
+the subject of Barclay's _Apology_.
+
+'Tradition states that, losing his temper, Dr. Johnson threw the volume
+on the floor, and put his foot on it, in denunciation of its statements.
+The identical volume is now in the possession of G. B. Lloyd, of Edgbaston
+Grove.
+
+'At the dinner table he continued the debate in such angry tones, and
+struck the table so violently that the children were frightened, and
+desired to escape.
+
+'The next morning Dr. Johnson went to the bank [Mr. Lloyd was a banker]
+and by way of apology called out in his stentorian voice, "I say, Lloyd,
+I'm the best theologian, but you are the best Christian.'" p. 41. It
+could not have been 'the next morning' that Johnson went to the bank,
+for he left for Lichfield on the evening of the day of the controversy
+(_ante_, ii. 461). He must have gone in the afternoon, while Boswell
+was away seeing Mr. Boulton's great works at Soho (ib. p. 459).
+
+Mr. G. B. Lloyd, the great-grandson of Johnson's host, in a letter
+written this summer (1886), says: 'Having spent much of my boyhood
+with my grandfather in the old house, I have heard him tell the story
+of the stamping on the broad volume.'
+
+Boswell mentions (ib. p. 457) that 'Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd, like their
+Majesties, had been blessed with a numerous family of fine children,
+their numbers being exactly the same.' The author of _Farm and its
+Inhabitants_ says (p. 46): 'There is a tradition that when Sampson
+Lloyd's wife used to feel depressed by the care of such a large family
+(they had sixteen children) he would say to her, "Never mind, the
+twentieth will be the most welcome."' His fifteenth child Catharine
+married Dr. George Birkbeck, the founder of the Mechanics' Institutes
+(ib. p. 48).
+
+A story told (p. 50) of one of Mr. Lloyd's sons-in-law, Joseph Biddle,
+is an instance of that excess of forgetfulness which Johnson called
+'morbid oblivion' (_ante_, v. 68). 'He went to pay a call in Leamington.
+The servant asked him for his name, he could not remember it; in
+perplexity he went away, when a friend in the street met him and
+accosted him, "How do you do, Mr. Biddle?" "Oh, Biddle, Biddle, Biddle,
+that's the name," cried he, and rushed off to pay his call.'
+
+The editor is in error in stating (p. 45, n. 1) that a very poor poem
+entitled _A bone for Friend Mary to pick_, is by Johnson. It may be
+found in the _Gent. Mag._ for 1791, p. 948.

+
+_Lichfield in 1783._
+
+(Vol. ii, p. 461.)
+
+C. P. Moritz, a young Prussian clergyman who published an account of
+a pedestrian tour that he made in England in the year 1782, thus describes
+Lichfield as he saw it on a day in June:--
+
+'At noon I got to Lichfield, an old-fashioned town with narrow dirty
+streets, where for the first time I saw round panes of glass in the
+windows. The place to me wore an unfriendly appearance; I therefore
+made no use of my recommendation, but went straight through and only
+bought some bread at a baker's, which I took along with me.'--_Travels
+in England in 1782_, p. 140, by C. P. Moritz. Cassell's National Library,
+1886.
+
+The 'recommendation' was an introduction to an inn given him by the
+daughter of his landlord at Sutton, who told him 'that the people in
+Lichfield were, in general, very proud.' Travelling as he did, on foot
+and without luggage, he was looked upon with suspicion at the inns,
+and often rudely refused lodging.

+_Richard Baxter's doubt_.
+
+(Vol. ii, p. 477.)
+
+The Rev. J. Hamilton Davies [See _ante_, p. xlix. 1] informs me that
+there can be no doubt that Johnson referred to the following passage
+in _Reliquiae Baxterianae_, folio edition of 1696, p. 127:--
+
+'This is another thing which I am changed in; that whereas in my
+younger days I was never tempted to doubt of the Truth of Scripture
+or Christianity, but all my Doubts and Fears were exercised at home,
+about my own Sincerity and Interest in Christ--since then my sorest
+assaults have been on the other side, and such they were, that had I
+been void of internal Experience, and the adhesion of Love, and the
+special help of God, and had not discerned more Reason for my Religion
+than I did when I was younger, I had certainly apostatized to Infidelity,'

+
+Johnson, the day after he recorded his 'doubt,' wrote that he was
+'troubled with Baxter's _scruple_' (_ante_, ii. 477). The 'scruple'

+_scruple_ as _doubt; difficulty of determination; perplexity; generally

+(Vol. iii, p. 13, n. 3.)
+
+The Rev. C. P. Moritz (_ante_, p. liv) gives a curious account of
+his visit to Oxford. On his way from Dorchester on the evening of
+a Sunday in June, he had been overtaken by the Rev. Mr. Maud, who seems
+to have been a Fellow and Tutor of Corpus College[3], and who was
+returning from doing duty in his curacy. It was late when they arrived
+in the town. Moritz, who, as I have said, more than once had found
+great difficulty in getting a bed, had made up his mind to pass the
+summer night on a stonebench in the High Street. His comrade would not
+hear of this, but said that he would take him to an ale-house where
+'it is possible they mayn't be gone to bed, and we may yet find company.'
+This ale-house was the Mitre.
+
+'We went on a few houses further, and then knocked at a door. It was
+then nearly twelve. They readily let us in; but how great was my
+astonishment when, on being shown into a room on the left, I saw
+a great number of clergymen, all with their gowns and bands on, sitting
+round a large table, each with his pot of beer before him. My travelling
+companion introduced me to them as a German clergyman, whom he could not
+sufficiently praise for my correct pronunciation of the Latin, my
+orthodoxy, and my good walking.
+
+'I now saw myself in a moment, as it were, all at once transported
+into the midst of a company, all apparently very respectable men, but
+all strangers to me. And it appeared to me extraordinary that I should
+thus at midnight be in Oxford, in a large company of Oxonian clergy,
+without well knowing how I had got there. Meanwhile, however, I took
+all the pains in my power to recommend myself to my company, and in the
+course of conversation I gave them as good an account as I could of
+our German universities, neither denying nor concealing that now and
+then we had riots and disturbances. "Oh, we are very unruly here,
+too," said one of the clergymen, as he took a hearty draught out of his
+pot of beer, and knocked on the table with his hand. The conversation
+now became louder, more general, and a little confused. ... At last,
+when morning drew near, Mr. Maud suddenly exclaimed, "D-n me, I must
+read prayers this morning at All Souls!" "D-n me" is an abbreviation
+of "G-d d-n me," which in England does not seem to mean more mischief
+or harm than any of our or their common expletives in conversation,
+such as "O gemini!" or "The deuce take me!" ... I am almost ashamed
+to own, that next morning, when I awoke, I had got so dreadful a
+headache from the copious and numerous toasts of my jolly and reverend
+friends that I could not possibly get up.

+
+'I remember Dr. Routh, the old President of Magdalen, telling me of an

+latter, which considerably wounded and offended him. "Sir," he said
+to Dr. Johnson, "you know that what you have just said will be known
+in four-and-twenty hours over this vast metropolis." Upon which Dr.
+Johnson's manner altered, his eye became calm, and he put out his hand,
+and said, "Forgive me, Parr, I didn't quite mean it." "But," said the
+President, with an amused and amusing look, "_I never could get him to
+tell me what it was Dr. Johnson had said!_" He spoke of seeing Dr.
+Johnson going up the steps into University College, dressed, I think,
+in a snuff-coloured coat.'

+'And yet I did usually put in something in my Sermon which was above

+did, that they might be kept humble, and still perceive their ignorance,
+and be willing to keep in a learning state. (For when Preachers tell

+'Once all the ignorant Rout were raging mad against me for preaching

+before Regeneration had so much Guilt and Corruption, as made them
+loathsome in the Eyes of God: whereupon they vented it abroad in the
+Country, That I preached that God hated, or loathed Infants; so that
+they railed at me as I passed through the streets. The next Lord's Day,
+I cleared and confirmed it, and shewed them that if this were not true,
+their Infants had no need of Christ, of Baptism, or of Renewing by the

+in Lichfield a Lending Book of the Cathedral Library. Among the entries
+for 1784 was: '_Sir John Floyer on the Asthma_, lent to Dr. Johnson.'
+Johnson, no doubt, had taken the book with him to Ashbourne.
+
+Mr. Timmins says that the entries in this Lending Book unfortunately

+_The University of St. Andrews in 1778_.
+
+(Vol. v, p. 63, n. 2.)
+
+In the preface to _Poems by George Monck Berkeley_, it is recorded
+(p. cccxlviii) that when 'Mr. Berkeley entered at the University of
+St. Andrews [about 1778], one of the college officers called upon him
+to deposit a crown to pay for the windows he might break. Mr. Berkeley
+said, that as he should reside in his father's house, it was little
+likely he should break any windows, having never, that he remembered,
+broke one in his life. He was assured that he _would_ do it at St.
+Andrews. On the rising of the session several of the students said, "Now
+for the windows. Come, it is time to set off, let us sally forth!"
+Mr. Berkeley, being called upon, enquired what was to be done? They
+replied, "Why, to break every window in college." "For what reason?"
+"Oh! no reason; but that it has always been done from time immemorial."'
+The Editor goes on to say that Mr. Berkeley prevailed on them to give
+up the practice. How poor some of the students were is shown by the
+following anecdote, told by the College Porter, who had to collect the
+crowns. 'I am just come,' he said, 'from a poor student indeed. I went
+for the window _croon_; he cried, begged, and prayed not to pay it,
+saying, "he brought but a croon to keep him all the session, and he
+had spent sixpence of it; so I have got only four and sixpence."' His
+father, a labourer, who owned three cows, 'had sold one to dress his
+son for the University, and put the lamented croon in his pocket to
+purchase coals. All the lower students study by fire-light. He had
+brought with him a large tub of oatmeal and a pot of salted butter, on
+which he was to subsist from Oct. 20 until May 20.' Berkeley raised
+'a very noble subscription' for the poor fellow.
+
+In another passage (p. cxcviii) it is recorded that Berkeley 'boasted to
+his father, "Well, Sir, idle as you may think me, I never have once
+bowed at any Professor's Lecture." An explanation being requested of
+the word _bowing_, it was thus given: "Why, if any poor fellow has
+been a little idle, and is not prepared to speak when called upon by
+the Professor, he gets up and makes a respectful-bow, and sits down
+again."' Berkeley was a grandson of Bishop Berkeley.

+on my admiration. M. de Crousaz, the adversary of Bayle and Pope, is not
+distinguished by lively fancy or profound reflection; and even in his
+own country, at the end of a few years, his name and writings are almost
+obliterated. But his philosophy had been formed in the school of Locke,
+his divinity in that of Limborch and Le Clerc; in a long and laborious
+life several generations of pupils were taught to think and even to
+write; his lessons rescued the Academy of Lausanne from Calvinistic
+prejudice; and he had the rare merit of diffusing a more liberal spirit
+among the clergy and people of the Pays de Vaud.'

+in the proper place, that in the first edition the leaf containing pages
+167, 168, was really cancelled. In my own copy I noticed between pages 168
+and 169 a narrow projecting slip of paper. I found the same in the copy
+in the British Museum. Mr. Horace Hart, the printer to the University,
+who has kindly examined my copy, informs me that the leaf was cancelled
+after the sheets had been stitched together. It was cut out, but an edge
+was left to which the new one was attached by paste. The leaf thus
+treated begins with the words 'talked with very high respect' (_ante_,
+v. 149) and ends 'This day was little better than a blank' (_ante_,

+_Shakespeare's popularity_.
+
+(Vol. v, p. 244, n. 2.)
+
+Gibbon, after describing how he used to attend Voltaire's private theatre
+at Monrepos in 1757 and 1758, continues:--
+
+'The habits of pleasure fortified my taste for the French theatre, and
+that taste has perhaps abated my idolatry for the gigantic genius of
+Shakespeare, which is inculcated from our infancy as the first duty of
+an Englishman.'
+--_Memoirs of Edward Gibbon_, ed. 1837, i. 90.
+
+
+
+_Archibald Campbell_.
+
+(Vol. v, p. 357.)
+
+Mr. C. E. Doble informs me that in the Bodleian Library 'there is a
+characteristic letter of Archibald Campbell in a _Life of Francis
+Lee_ in Rawlinson, J., 4to. 2. 197; and also a skeleton life of him
+in Rawlinson, J., 4to. 5. 301.'
+
+
+
+_Cocoa Tree Club._
+
+(Vol. v, p. 386, n. 1.)
+
+Gibbon records in his Journal on November 24, 1762, a visit to the Cocoa
+Tree Club:--
+
+'That respectable body, of which I have the honour of being a member,
+affords every evening a sight truly English. Twenty or thirty, perhaps,
+of the first men in the kingdom in point of fashion and fortune, supping
+at little tables covered with a napkin, in the middle of a coffee-room,
+upon a bit of cold meat or a sandwich, and drinking a glass of punch.
+At present we are full of king's counsellors and lords of the bed-chamber,
+who, having jumped into the ministry, make a very singular medley
+of their old principles and language with their modern ones.'
+--_Memoirs of Edward Gibbon_, ed. 1827, i. 131.
+
+
+
+_Johnson's use of the word 'big'_.
+
+(Vol. v, p. 425.)
+
+On volume i, page 471, Johnson says: 'Don't, Sir, accustom yourself to
+use big words for little matters.'
+
+
+
+_Atlas, the Duke of Devonshire's race-horse._
+
+(Vol. v, p. 429.)
+
+Johnson, in his _Diary of a Journey into North Wales_, records on
+July 12, 1774:--
+
+'At Chatsworth..., Atlas, fifteen hands inch and half.'
+
+Mr. Duppa in a note on this, says: 'A race-horse, which attracted so
+much of Dr. Johnson's attention, that he said, "of all the Duke's
+possessions I like Atlas best."'
+
+Thomas Holcroft, who in childhood wandered far and wide with his father,
+a pedlar, was at Nottingham during the race-week of the year 1756 or
+1757, and saw in its youth the horse which Johnson so much admired in
+its old age. He says: 'The great and glorious part which Nottingham held
+in the annals of racing this year, arose from the prize of the King's
+plate, which was to be contended for by the two horses which everybody
+I heard speak considered as undoubtedly the best in England, and perhaps
+ equal to any that had ever been known, Childers alone excepted. Their
+names were Careless and Atlas.....There was a story in circulation that
+Atlas, on account of his size and clumsiness, had been banished to the
+cart-breed; till by some accident, either of playfulness or fright,
+several of them started together; and his vast advantage in speed
+happening to be noticed, he was restored to his blood companions.....Alas
+for the men of Nottingham, Careless was conquered. I forget whether it
+was at two or three heats, but there was many an empty purse on that
+night, and many a sorrowful heart.'
+--_Memoirs of Thomas Holcroft_, i. 70.
+
+
+
+Sir Richard Clough.
+
+(Vol. v, p. 436.)
+
+There is an interesting note on Sir Richard Clough, the founder of Bach
+y Graig, in Professor Rhys's edition of Pennant's _Tours in Wales_
+(vol. ii, p. 137). The Professor writes to me:--
+
+'Sir Richard Clough's wealth was so great that it became a saying of the
+people in North Wales that a man who grew very wealthy was or had become
+a Clough. This has long been forgotten; but it is still said in Welsh,
+in North Wales, that a very rich man is a regular _clwch_, which is
+pronounced with the guttural spirant, which was then (in the 16th
+century) sounded in English, just as the English word _draught_ (of
+drink) is in Welsh _dracht_ pronounced nearly as if it were German.'
+
+
+
+
+
+_Evan Evans._
+
+(Vol. v, p. 443.)
+
+Evan Evans, who is described as being 'incorrigibly addicted to strong
+drink,' was Curate of Llanvair Talyhaern, in Denbighshire, and author
+of _Some Specimens of the Poetry of Antient Welsh Bards translated into
+English_. London, R. & J. Dodsley, 1764. My friend Mr. Morfill informs
+me that he remembers to have seen it stated in a manuscript note in a
+book in the Bodleian, that 'Evan Evans would have written much more if
+he had not been so much given up to the bottle.'
+
+Gray thus mentions Evan Evans in a letter to Dr. Wharton, written in
+July, 1760:--
+
+'The Welsh Poets are also coming to light. I have seen a discourse in
+MS. about them (by one Mr. Evans, a clergyman) with specimens of their
+writings. This is in Latin; and though it don't approach the other
+[Macpherson], there are fine scraps among it.'
+--_The Works of Thomas Gray_, ed. by the Rev. John Mitford. London,
+1858, vol. iii, p. 250.

+1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.

+
+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation

+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+https://pglaf.org/fundraising. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.

+
+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's
+eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII,
+compressed (zipped), HTML and others.
+
+Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over
+the old filename and etext number. The replaced older file is renamed.
+VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving
+new filenames and etext numbers.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
+
+EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000,
+are filed in directories based on their release date. If you want to
+download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular
+search system you may utilize the following addresses and just
+download by the etext year.
+
+http://www.ibiblio.org/gutenberg/etext06
+
+ (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99,
+ 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90)
+
+EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are
+filed in a different way. The year of a release date is no longer part
+of the directory path. The path is based on the etext number (which is
+identical to the filename). The path to the file is made up of single
+digits corresponding to all but the last digit in the filename. For
+example an eBook of filename 10234 would be found at:
+
+https://www.gutenberg.org/1/0/2/3/10234
+
+or filename 24689 would be found at:
+https://www.gutenberg.org/2/4/6/8/24689
