Riassunto

Excerpt from Selections From the Works of Samuel Johnson: With an Introduction and Notes

Rasselas is unrepresented because it has been well edited in this Series by Professor Emerson. The selec tions are entire, except the Life of Addison, from which the long quotation of Bennis's tedious remarks on Cato has been in large part omitted. No biographical sketch of Johnson beyond a chronological outline has seemed necessary. If a shorter account than Boswell's is desired, it may be found in Sir Leslie Stephen's Life of Johnson (english Men of Letters), or, shorter still, in his article in the Dictionary of National Biography. Macaulay may be read with interest, but not for Johnson's sake.
