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. + +VI. + +_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_. + +VII. + +_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. + + +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.) + +IX. + +_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. + + +X. + +_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; +and ii. 202, n. 2. + + + +_Mr. Mason's 'sneering observation in his "Memoirs of Mr. William +Whitehead"'_ + +(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 +(vol. iii, p. 128). + +With this 'sneering observation,' which Boswell might surely have passed +over in silence, the Memoirs close. + + + +_Michael Johnson as a bookseller._ + +(Vol. i, p. 36, n. 3.) + +Mr. R. F. Sketchley kindly informs me that in the Dyce and Forster +Libraries at the South Kensington Museum there is a book 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, +1687._ + +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 +subscriptions, give receipts, and deliver books according to the +proposals' is 'Mr. Johnson in Litchfield.' + + + +_The City and County of Lichfield_. + +(Vol. i, p. 36, n. 4.) + +'The City of Litchfield is a County of itself, with a jurisdiction +extending 10 or 12 miles round, which circuit the Sheriff rides every +year on Sept. 8.'--_A Tour through the Whole Island of Great Britain_, +ed. 1769, ii. 419. + +Balliol College has a copy of this work containing David Garrick's +book-plate, with Shakespeare's head at the top of it, and the following +quotation from _Menagiana_ at the foot:-- + +'_La première chose qu'on doit faire quand on a emprunté un livre, c'est +de le lire, afin de pouvoir le rendre plutôt' (sic)_. + + + +_Felixmarte of Hircania_. + +(Vol. i, p. 49.) + +'"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. + + + +_Palmerin of England and Don Belianis_. + +(Vol. i, p. 49, n. 2; and vol. iii, p. 2.) + +'"Let _Palmerin of England_ be preserved," said the licentiate, "and +kept as a jewel; and let such another casket be made for it as that +which Alexander found among the spoils of Darius appropriated to preserve +the works of the poet Homer....Therefore, master Nicholas, saving your +better judgment let this and _Amadis de Gaul_ be exempted from the +flames, and let all the rest perish without any farther inquiry." "Not +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 +have the benefit, therefore, of transportation, and as they show signs +of amendment they shall hereafter be treated with mercy or justice; in +the meantime, friend, give them room in your house; but let nobody read +them."' +--_Don Quixote_, ed. 1820, i. 50. + + + +_Mr. Taylor, a Birmingham manufacturer_. + +(Vol. i, p. 86.) + +'John Taylor, Esq. may justly be deemed the Shakspear or Newton of +Birmingham.

'A fine likeness of her is preserved by +Thomas Lloyd, The Priory, Warwick,' as I learn from an interesting +little work called _Farm and its Inhabitants, with some Account of +the Lloyds of Dolobran_, by Rachel J.

(Vol. i, p. 95.) + +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.

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.

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.

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.

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?"

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.

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. +--_Travels in England in 1782_, by C.

And this I did also to increase their knowledge; and +also to make Religion pleasant to them, by a daily addition to their +former Sight, and to draw them on with desire and Delight.' + + + +_Opposition to Sir Joshua Reynolds in the Royal Academy_. + +(Vol. iv, p. 219, n. 4.) + +'JAMES BOSWELL, ESQ., TO BISHOP PERCY. +'12 March, 1790. + +'Sir Joshua has been shamefully used by a junto of the Academicians. +I live a great deal with him, and he is much better than you would +suppose.' +--Nichols's _Literary History_, vii. 313. + + + +_Richard Baxter on the possible salvation of a Suicide_. +(Vol. iv, p. 225.) + +The Rev. J. Hamilton Davies writes to me that 'Dr. Johnson's quotation +about suicide must surely be wrong. I have no recollection in any of +Baxter's _Works_ of such a statement, and it is in direct contradiction +to all that is known of his sentiments. 'Mr. Davies sends me the following +passage, which possibly Johnson might have very imperfectly remembered:-- + +'The commonest cause [of suicide] is melancholy, &c. Though there +be much more hope of the salvation of such as want the use of their +understandings, because so far it may be called involuntary, yet it +is a very dreadful case, especially so far as reason remaineth in any +power.' +--Baxter's _Christian Directory, edited by Orme, part iv, p. 138. + + + +_Haslitt's report of Baxter's Sermon_. + +(Vol. iv, p. 226, n. 2.) + +The Rev. J. Hamilton Davies tells me that he 'entirely disbelieves that +Baxter said, "Hell was paved with infants' skulls." The same thing, or +something very like it, has been said of Calvin, but I could never,' +Mr. Davies continues, 'find it in his Works.' He kindly sends me the +following extract from _Reliquiae Baxterianae_, ed. 1696, p. 24:-- + +'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 +baptized them, with much more to that purpose, and afterwards they +were ashamed and as mute as fishes.' + + + +_Johnson on an actor's transformation_. + +(Vol. iv, p. 244.) + +Boswell in his _Remarks on the Profession of a Player_ (Essay ii), +first printed in the _London Magazine_ for 1770, says:-- + +'I remember to have heard the most illustrious authour of this age say: +"If, Sir, Garrick believes himself to be every character that he +represents he is a madman, and ought to be confined. Nay, Sir, he is a +villain, and ought to be hanged. If, for instance, he believes himself +to be Macbeth he has committed murder, he is a vile assassin who, in +violation of the laws of hospitality as well as of other principles, +has imbrued his hands in the blood of his King while he was sleeping +under his roof. If, Sir, he has really been that person in his own mind, +he has in his own mind been as guilty as Macbeth." +'--Nichols's _Literary History_, ed. 1848, vii. 373. + + + +_Sir John Flayer 'On the Asthma_.' + +(Vol. iv, p. 353.) + +Johnson, writing from Ashbourne to Dr. Brocklesby on July 20, 1784, says: +'I am now looking into Floyer who lived with his asthma to almost his +ninetieth year.' Mr. Samuel Timmins, the author of _Dr. Johnson in +Birmingham_, informs me that he and two friends of his lately found +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 +do not begin till about 1760 (or later). 'If,' he adds, 'the earlier +Lending Book could be found, it would form a valuable clue to books +which Johnson may have borrowed in his youth and early manhood.' + + + +_Boswell's expectations from Burke_. + +(Vol. iv, p. 223, n. 2; and p. 258, n. 2.) + +Boswell, in May 1783, mentioned to Johnson his 'expectations from the +interest of an eminent person then in power.'

For amidst all the sanguinary zeal of my countrymen, +I have professed myself a friend to our fellow-subjects in America, so +far as they claim an exemption from being taxed by the representatives +of the King's British subjects.

R. Morfill, M.A., of Oriel College, +Oxford, who has, I suppose, no rival in this country in his knowledge of +the Slavonic tongues, that no Russian translation of the Rambler has +been published. He has given me the following title of the Russian +version of _Rasselas_, which he has obtained for me through the kindness +of Professor Grote, of the University of Warsaw:-- + +'Rasselas, printz Abissinskii, Vostochnaya Poviest Sochinenie Doktora +Dzhonsona Perevod s'angliiskago. 3 chasti, Moskva. 1795. + +'Rasselas, prince of Abyssinia, An Eastern Tale, by Doctor Johnson. +Translated from the English. 2 parts, Moscow, 1795.' + + + +'_It has not wit enough to keep it sweet_.' + +(Vol. iv, p. 320.) + +'Heylyn, in the Epistle to his _Letter-Combate_, addressing Baxter, +and speaking of such "unsavoury pieces of wit and mischief" as "the +_Church-historian_" asks, "Would you not have me rub them with a little +salt to keep them sweet?"

Bailey's _Life of Thomas Fuller_, p. 640. + + + +_Pictures of Johnson_. + +(Vol. iv, p. 421, n. 2.) + +In the Common Room of Trinity College, Oxford, there is an interesting +portrait of Johnson, said to be by Romney.

Anderson (in _Notes and Queries_, 7th S. iii. 147) casts some +doubt on Chalmers' statement. He gives a genealogical table of the +Gregory family, which includes thirteen professors; but two of these +cannot, from their dates, be reckoned among Chalmers' sixteen. + + + +_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. + + + +_Johnson's unpublished sermons_. + +(Vol. v, p. 67, n. i.) + +'JAMES BOSWELL, ESQ., TO JAMES ABERCROMBIE, ESQ., of Philadelphia. + +'June 11, 1792. + +"I have not yet been able to discover any more of Johnson's sermons +besides those left for publication by Dr. Taylor. I am informed by the +Lord Bishop of Salisbury, that he gave an excellent one to a clergyman, +who preached and published it in his own name on some public occasion. +But the Bishop has not as yet told me the name, and seems unwilling to +do it. Yet I flatter myself I shall get at it."' +--Nichols's _Literary History_, vii. 315. + + + +_Tillotson's argument against the doctrine of transubstantiation._ + +(Vol. v, p. 71.) + +Gibbon, writing of his reconversion from Roman Catholicism to +Protestantism in the year 1754, after allowing something to the +conversation of his Swiss tutor, says:-- + +'I must observe that it was principally effected by my private +reflections; and I still remember my solitary transport at the discovery +of a philosophical argument against the doctrine of transubstantiation-- +_that_ the text of scripture which seems to inculcate the real presence +is attested only by a single sense-- our sight; while the real presence +itself is disproved by three of our senses--the sight, the touch, and +the taste.' +--_Memoirs of Edward Gibbon_, ed. 1827, i. 67. + + + +_Jean Pierre de Crousaz_. + +(Vol. v, p. 80.) + +Gibbon, describing his education at Lausanne, says:--'The principles +of philosophy were associated with the examples of taste; and by a +singular chance the book as well as the man which contributed the most +effectually to my education has a stronger claim on my gratitude than +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.' +--_Memoirs of Edward Gibbon_, ed. 1827, i. 66. + + + +_The new pavement in London._ + +(Vol. v, p. 84, n. 3.) + +'By an Act passed in 1766, _For the better cleansing, paving, and +enlightning the City of London and Liberties thereof_, &c., powers +are granted in pursuance of which the great streets have been paved +with whyn-quarry stone, or rock-stone, or stone of a flat surface.' +--_A Tour through the whole Island of Great Britain_, ed. 1769, +vol. ii, p. 121. + + + +_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.

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.

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 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 + +An alternative method of locating eBooks: +https://www.gutenberg.org/GUTINDEX.ALL + +*** END: FULL LICENSE *** diff --git a/old/11729-8.zip b/old/11729-8.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..a5eac14 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/11729-8.zip diff --git a/old/11729.txt b/old/11729.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..0ab88b3 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/11729.txt @@ -0,0 +1,29384 @@ +The Project Gutenberg eBook, Life of Johnson, Volume 6 (of 6), by James +Boswell, Edited by George Birkbeck Hill + + +This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with +almost no restrictions whatsoever.

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. + +VI. + +_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_. + +VII. + +_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.

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.) + +IX. + +_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. + + +X. + +_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; +and ii. 202, n. 2. + + + +_Mr. Mason's 'sneering observation in his "Memoirs of Mr. William +Whitehead"'_ + +(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 +(vol. iii, p. 128). + +With this 'sneering observation,' which Boswell might surely have passed +over in silence, the Memoirs close. + + + +_Michael Johnson as a bookseller._ + +(Vol. i, p. 36, n. 3.) + +Mr. R. F. Sketchley kindly informs me that in the Dyce and Forster +Libraries at the South Kensington Museum there is a book 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, +1687._ + +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 +subscriptions, give receipts, and deliver books according to the +proposals' is 'Mr. Johnson in Litchfield.' + + + +_The City and County of Lichfield_. + +(Vol. i, p. 36, n. 4.) + +'The City of Litchfield is a County of itself, with a jurisdiction +extending 10 or 12 miles round, which circuit the Sheriff rides every +year on Sept. 8.'--_A Tour through the Whole Island of Great Britain_, +ed. 1769, ii. 419. + +Balliol College has a copy of this work containing David Garrick's +book-plate, with Shakespeare's head at the top of it, and the following +quotation from _Menagiana_ at the foot:-- + +'_La premiere chose qu'on doit faire quand on a emprunte un livre, c'est +de le lire, afin de pouvoir le rendre plutot' (sic)_. + + + +_Felixmarte of Hircania_. + +(Vol. i, p. 49.) + +'"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. + + + +_Palmerin of England and Don Belianis_. + +(Vol. i, p. 49, n. 2; and vol. iii, p. 2.) + +'"Let _Palmerin of England_ be preserved," said the licentiate, "and +kept as a jewel; and let such another casket be made for it as that +which Alexander found among the spoils of Darius appropriated to preserve +the works of the poet Homer....Therefore, master Nicholas, saving your +better judgment let this and _Amadis de Gaul_ be exempted from the +flames, and let all the rest perish without any farther inquiry." "Not +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 +have the benefit, therefore, of transportation, and as they show signs +of amendment they shall hereafter be treated with mercy or justice; in +the meantime, friend, give them room in your house; but let nobody read +them."' +--_Don Quixote_, ed. 1820, i. 50. + + + +_Mr. Taylor, a Birmingham manufacturer_. + +(Vol. i, p. 86.) + +'John Taylor, Esq. may justly be deemed the Shakspear or Newton of +Birmingham.

(Vol. i, p. 95.) + +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, + +'HENRY GRESWOLD.' + + + +_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.

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.

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?"

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. +--_Travels in England in 1782_, by C.

"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. + + + +'_Solamen miseris socios habuisse doloris_.' + +(Vol. iv, p. 181, n. 3.) + +Malone's note on _The Rape of Lucrece_ must have been, not as I +conjectured on line 1111, but on lines 1581-2:-- + + 'It easeth some, though none it ever cured, + To think their dolour others have endured.' + +With these lines may be compared Satan's speech in _Paradise Regained_, +Book i, lines 399-402:-- + + 'Long since with woe + Nearer acquainted, now I feel by proof, + That fellowship in pain divides not smart, + Nor lightens aught each man's peculiar load.' + + + +_Richard Baxter's rule of preaching_. + +(Vol. iv, p. 185.) + +The Rev.

(For when Preachers tell +their People of no more than they know, and do not shew that they excel +them in knowledge, and easily overtop them in Abilities, the People +will be tempted to turn Preachers themselves, and think that they have +learnt all that the Ministers can teach them, and are as wise as +they------).

J. Hamilton Davies writes to me that 'Dr. Johnson's quotation +about suicide must surely be wrong. I have no recollection in any of +Baxter's _Works_ of such a statement, and it is in direct contradiction +to all that is known of his sentiments. 'Mr. Davies sends me the following +passage, which possibly Johnson might have very imperfectly remembered:-- + +'The commonest cause [of suicide] is melancholy, &c. Though there +be much more hope of the salvation of such as want the use of their +understandings, because so far it may be called involuntary, yet it +is a very dreadful case, especially so far as reason remaineth in any +power.' +--Baxter's _Christian Directory, edited by Orme, part iv, p. 138. + + + +_Haslitt's report of Baxter's Sermon_. + +(Vol. iv, p. 226, n. 2.) + +The Rev. J. Hamilton Davies tells me that he 'entirely disbelieves that +Baxter said, "Hell was paved with infants' skulls." The same thing, or +something very like it, has been said of Calvin, but I could never,' +Mr. Davies continues, 'find it in his Works.' He kindly sends me the +following extract from _Reliquiae Baxterianae_, ed. 1696, p. 24:-- + +'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.

Nay, Sir, he is a +villain, and ought to be hanged. If, for instance, he believes himself +to be Macbeth he has committed murder, he is a vile assassin who, in +violation of the laws of hospitality as well as of other principles, +has imbrued his hands in the blood of his King while he was sleeping +under his roof.

Mr. Samuel Timmins, the author of _Dr. Johnson in +Birmingham_, informs me that he and two friends of his lately found +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 +do not begin till about 1760 (or later). 'If,' he adds, 'the earlier +Lending Book could be found, it would form a valuable clue to books +which Johnson may have borrowed in his youth and early manhood.' + + + +_Boswell's expectations from Burke_. + +(Vol. iv, p. 223, n. 2; and p. 258, n. 2.) + +Boswell, in May 1783, mentioned to Johnson his 'expectations from the +interest of an eminent person then in power.'

For amidst all the sanguinary zeal of my countrymen, +I have professed myself a friend to our fellow-subjects in America, so +far as they claim an exemption from being taxed by the representatives +of the King's British subjects.

He has given me the following title of the Russian +version of _Rasselas_, which he has obtained for me through the kindness +of Professor Grote, of the University of Warsaw:-- + +'Rasselas, printz Abissinskii, Vostochnaya Poviest Sochinenie Doktora +Dzhonsona Perevod s'angliiskago. 3 chasti, Moskva. 1795. + +'Rasselas, prince of Abyssinia, An Eastern Tale, by Doctor Johnson. +Translated from the English. 2 parts, Moscow, 1795.' + + + +'_It has not wit enough to keep it sweet_.' + +(Vol. iv, p. 320.) + +'Heylyn, in the Epistle to his _Letter-Combate_, addressing Baxter, +and speaking of such "unsavoury pieces of wit and mischief" as "the +_Church-historian_" asks, "Would you not have me rub them with a little +salt to keep them sweet?"

Anderson (in _Notes and Queries_, 7th S. iii. 147) casts some +doubt on Chalmers' statement. He gives a genealogical table of the +Gregory family, which includes thirteen professors; but two of these +cannot, from their dates, be reckoned among Chalmers' sixteen. + + + +_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. + + + +_Johnson's unpublished sermons_. + +(Vol. v, p. 67, n. i.) + +'JAMES BOSWELL, ESQ., TO JAMES ABERCROMBIE, ESQ., of Philadelphia. + +'June 11, 1792. + +"I have not yet been able to discover any more of Johnson's sermons +besides those left for publication by Dr. Taylor. I am informed by the +Lord Bishop of Salisbury, that he gave an excellent one to a clergyman, +who preached and published it in his own name on some public occasion. +But the Bishop has not as yet told me the name, and seems unwilling to +do it. Yet I flatter myself I shall get at it."' +--Nichols's _Literary History_, vii. 315. + + + +_Tillotson's argument against the doctrine of transubstantiation._ + +(Vol. v, p. 71.) + +Gibbon, writing of his reconversion from Roman Catholicism to +Protestantism in the year 1754, after allowing something to the +conversation of his Swiss tutor, says:-- + +'I must observe that it was principally effected by my private +reflections; and I still remember my solitary transport at the discovery +of a philosophical argument against the doctrine of transubstantiation-- +_that_ the text of scripture which seems to inculcate the real presence +is attested only by a single sense-- our sight; while the real presence +itself is disproved by three of our senses--the sight, the touch, and +the taste.' +--_Memoirs of Edward Gibbon_, ed. 1827, i. 67. + + + +_Jean Pierre de Crousaz_. + +(Vol. v, p. 80.) + +Gibbon, describing his education at Lausanne, says:--'The principles +of philosophy were associated with the examples of taste; and by a +singular chance the book as well as the man which contributed the most +effectually to my education has a stronger claim on my gratitude than +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.' +--_Memoirs of Edward Gibbon_, ed. 1827, i. 66. + + + +_The new pavement in London._ + +(Vol. v, p. 84, n. 3.) + +'By an Act passed in 1766, _For the better cleansing, paving, and +enlightning the City of London and Liberties thereof_, &c., powers +are granted in pursuance of which the great streets have been paved +with whyn-quarry stone, or rock-stone, or stone of a flat surface.' +--_A Tour through the whole Island of Great Britain_, ed. 1769, +vol. ii, p. 121. + + + +_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 levee 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 levee. 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.

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.

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_.

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.

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 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 + +An alternative method of locating eBooks: +https://www.gutenberg.org/GUTINDEX.ALL + +*** END: FULL LICENSE *** diff --git a/old/11729.zip b/old/11729.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..83ff218 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/11729.zip |
