Text Appearing Before Image:
r his fathersgrave at Lichfield, and which, it is shameful to think, hasbeen removed, it is too massy and strong to be ever muchaffected by the wind and weather of our literary atmosphere.Never, so he wrote to Mrs. Thrale, let criticisms operateupon your face or your mind ; it is very rarely that an authoris hurt by his critics. The blaze of reputation cannot be blownout; but it often dies in the socket. From the author of Fitz-osbornes Letters I cannot think myself in much danger. Imet him only once, about thirty years ago, and in some smalldispute soon reduced him to whistle. Dr. Johnson is in nodanger from anybody. None but Gargantua could blow himout, and he still burns brightly in his socket. How long this may continue who can say? It is a far cryto 1985. Science may by that time have squeezed out litera-ture, and the author of the Lives of the Poets may be dimlyremembered as an odd fellow who lived in the Dark Ages, andhad a very creditable fancy for making chemical experiments.
Text Appearing After Image:
POEMS AND WILL OF CHATTERTOX. l:i<;U On the other hand, the Spiritualists may be in possession, inwhich case the Cock Lane Ghost will occupy more of publicattention than Boswells hero, who will, perhaps, be reprobatedas the profane utterer of these idle words : Suppose I knowa man to be so lame that he is absolutely incapable to movehimself, and I find him in a different room from that in whichI left him, shall I puzzle myself with idle conjectures that per-haps his nerves have by some unknown change all at oncebecome effective ? No, sir, it is clear how he got into a differ-ent room — he was carried. We here part company with Johnson, bidding him a mostaffectionate farewell, and leaving him in undisturbed posses-sion of both place and power. His character will bear investi-gation and some of his books perusal. The latter, indeed, maybe submitted to his own test, and there is no truer one. Abook, he wrote, should help us either to enjoy life or to endureit. His frequently do both
