TAILIEUCHUNG - Boswell's Life of Johnson

In making this abridgement of Boswell's Life of Johnson I have omitted most of Boswell's criticisms, comments, and notes, all of Johnson's opinions in legal cases, most of the letters, and parts of the conversation dealing with matters which were of greater importance in Boswell's day than now. I have kept in mind an old habit, common enough, I dare say, among its devotees, of opening the book of random, and reading wherever the eye falls upon a passage of especial interest. All such passages, I hope, have been retained, and enough of the whole book to illustrate all the phases of Johnson's mind and. | Boswell s Life of Johnson 1 Boswell s Life of Johnson Chapter of Chapter of Boswell s Life of Johnson The Project Gutenberg EBook of Life of Johnson by James Boswell This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with almost no restrictions whatsoever.

I have kept in mind an old habit common enough I dare say among its devotees of opening the book of random and reading wherever the eye falls upon a passage of especial interest. All such passages I hope have been retained and enough of the whole book to illustrate all the phases of Johnson s mind and of his time which Boswell observed. Loyal Johnsonians may look upon such a book with a measure of scorn. I could not have made it had I not believed that it would be the means of drawing new readers to Boswell and eventually of finding for them in the complete work what many have already found--days and years of growing enlightenment and happy companionship and an innocent refuge from the cares and perturbations of life.
