Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life of Samuel Johnson, LL. D To the author of this book it has long seemed that a plain, straightforward story of Samuel Johnson would supply a desideratum in the literature appropriate to the youth of this country. It is true, we have his biography drawn up for us bv a master hand, and with a minuteness and fullness touching certain periods of the great moralists life that is without precedent or example in biographical literature. At the same time it must be admitted that the great work of Mr. Boswell, connected and blended as it is with those of several other authors, presents us with a mixed and partially-confused picture, which, with all its minuteness of detail and fidelity of delineation, can hardly fail to weary the youthful eye, and prejudice the interest which should attend the contemplation of a character like that of Johnson.
