Excerpt from Dr. Johnson: His Friends and His Critics Though I cannot say with Lord Macaulay that I was never better pleased than when at fourteen I was master of Boswell's 'Life of Johnson, ' yet I was still a schoolboy when I first read the book. When later on I entered the University of Oxford I was proud as a member of Pembroke College to boast of the great man who is the glory of that society. I little thought, however, in those days that the study of his life was to fill up much of the leisure time of not a few of my busiest years, and that, on my retirement from a laborious occupation, and my recovery from a tedious illness, I should attempt to describe Oxford as it was known to him. It might at first sight seem that he who should at the present day venture to write about Johnson would justly incur the same kind of criticism as that which Johnson himself passed on one of the writers of his time.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1878 edition. Excerpt: ... written a book, but when we read the letters we are only amused. He no more excites our anger than did Goldsmith when he showed himself oil' in his bloom-coloured coat. He is in these Letters, as Hume says, very good humoured, very agreeable and very mad. Erskine laughs at him; he ridicules the solemnity of his small nose, his dark face which beamed a black ray upon him, the rotundity of his Bath great-coat, his person little and squat, the pomatum which gives his hair a gloss, the grandeur of his pinchbeck buckles. He had taken him, he says, sometimes for the witches' cauldron in Macbeth; sometimes for an enormous ink-bottle; some times for a funeral procession; now and then for a chimney sweeper, and not unfrequently for a blackpudding. He knows, he tells him, his aversion at being thought a genius or a wit. He is aware he hates flattery, and yet, in spite of his teeth, he will tell him that he is the best poet and the most humorous letter-writer he knows. He ridicules his wish to become a soldier, and reminds him that 'we find in all history, ancient and modern, lawyers are very apt to run away.' A man cannot, indeed, boast much of his dignity who publishes such jests on himself. But he shows at all events his good humour. He is wise enough to stand a laugh against himself. He had had the impudence to publish an Ode to Tragedy written by a gentleman of Scotland and dedicated to James Boswell, Esq. Erskine's curiosity is aroused, and he eagerly writes for information. ' I must now ask like the "Spectator," is this Ode-writing gentleman of Scotland fat or lean, tall or short, does he use spectacles? What is the length of his walking-stick?' Boswell with some humour replies: ...
