Incipit my winter of Boswell. So many pearls already: "I have Johnsonised the land; and I trust they will not only talk, but think, Johnson." One can only hope.
Johnson's English instructor "published a spelling-book, and dedicated it to the UNIVERSE; but, I fear, no copy of it can now be had." And Goodreads won't allow me to put all of the gems in this little mention. I must note the phrase "complicated misery."

Selections: "Why may not a poet suppose himself to have the gout, as well as suppose himself in love?" "There are inexcusable lies, and consecrated lies." "That man sat down to write a book, to tell the world what the world had all his life been telling him." "There have been many sad victims to absolute power./ So, sir, have there been to popular factions./ The question is, which is worst, one wild beast or many?"
