I'm sorry if a password is necessary. If so, try your public library identification number. If that doesn't work I'll try to send the entire article through by...
Two questions. I've just acquired a set of Fleeman's Bibliography of the Works of Samuel Johnson that I bought without dust jackets. I'm not so sure the set...

A new member here! I'm just beginning to read Boswell's "Life". I'd wanted to read it for a while, but did not wish to settle for a paperback copy. I finally...
I've created a group photo album of Johnson portraits for those who are interested. Feel free to add your own that I've missed. I'm particularly interested in...

I can scan an illustrative example of one of his drawings and post it - it may help in identification. I by no means have an exhaustive knowledge of Johnson ...
