of annotation and transcription have been modeled on the style sheet for the Yale Research Edition of the Private Papers of James Boswell. T h e most detailed version in print appears in the front matter to The Correspondence of James Boswell with David Garrick, Edmund Burke, and Edmond Malone, ed. P. S. Baker et al. (ig86). T h e statement that follows adheres closely to this version. POLICIES

THE TEXTS

Choice and Arrangement of Letters T h e letters are presented in chronological order. Letters written for others, as well as public dissertations in the guise of letters, have been excluded. Undated letters that cannot be assigned with confidence to a specific year appear in Appendix i, where they are ordered alphabetically by correspondent. Appendix n gathers together the evidence for letters whose texts have not been recovered. Translations of Johnson's letters in Latin appear in Appendix in. T h e copy-text has been the MSS of letters sent, whenever such MSS were available. In the absence of originals, we have used MS copies. When no MSS at all have been recovered, we have used printed texts as copy. Transcription In accordance with the policy of the Yale Research Series, "manuscript documents in this edition have been printed to correspond to the originals as closely as is feasible in the medium of type. A certain amount of compromise and apparent inconsistency seems unavoidable, but change has been kept within the limits of stated conventions." T h e following editorial conventions are imposed silently: Addresses. Elements appearing on separate lines in the MS are Vll

run together and punctuated according to modern practice. On franked covers, handwriting is that of the franker unless otherwise specified. Datelines. Places and dates are joined at the head of the letter regardless of their position in the MS. Punctuation has been normalized. Salutations. Abbreviations are expanded. Commas and colons after salutations are retained; in the absence of punctuation, a colon is supplied. Complimentary closes. Abbreviations are expanded. Punctuation has been normalized. Elements appearing on separate lines in the MS are r u n together. Complimentary closes paragraphed separately in the MS are printed as continuations of the last line of text. Endorsements. Handwriting is that of the recipient unless otherwise specified. Punctuation. At the ends of completed sentences periods may replace commas or dashes and are always supplied when omitted. A sentence following a period always begins with a capital letter. Changes. Substantive additions and deletions in Johnson's hand are recorded in the notes. Lacunae. Words and letters missing through a tear or obscured by a blot are supplied within angle brackets. Inadvertent omissions are supplied within square brackets. Nonauthorial deletions are not reported unless the reading is in doubt. Abbreviations, contractions, and symbols. T h e following abbreviations, contractions, and symbols, and their variant forms, are expanded: abt (about), acct (account), agst (against), Bp (Bishop), cd (could), compts (compliments), Dr (Dear), Ld (Lord), Lop (Lordship), Ly (Lady), Lyship (Ladyship), reed (received), sd (should), Sr (Sir), wc (which), wd (would), yr (your), & (and), &c (etc.). All retained abbreviations and contractions are followed by a period. Periods following ordinals have been removed. Superior letters. Superior letters are lowered. Vlll

EDITORIAL

PROCEDURES

Brackets. Parentheses replace square brackets in the text, brackets being reserved for editorial use. Spelling. T h e original spelling has been retained, except for obvious inadvertencies, which are corrected in the text and recorded in the notes. Capitalization and paragraphing. Original capitalization and paragraphing have been retained. ANNOTATION

Headnotes. Postmarks, although partly illegible on some letters, are left unbracketed when not in doubt. Marks on the wrappers other than addresses, postmarks, endorsements, and stamped and written franks have been ignored. Footnotes. When an abbreviated source is given, the full citation may be found in the list of cue titles and abbreviations on pp. xiii—xv. All other reference titles in the footnotes are sufficiently complete to enable ready identification; for each letter, these citations are presented in full the first time they occur and are shortened in all subsequent occurrences in the notes to that letter. Except where a work has been directly quoted, no source is given when the information is available in the Dictionary of National Biography, an encyclopedia, or other general reference work. Reference to all letters is made by correspondent and date. Post and Ante references supplement but do not replace the index, which should be consulted whenever the identity of names or places is in doubt.

Letters of Uncertain Date

Frances ^Burney SATURDAY1 MS

Berg Collection, New York Public Library Saturday

Mr. Johnson begs of Miss Burney that she will favour him with a copy of Cecilia to lend a friend. i This letter, placed in 1783 by Hill and by Chapman, could have been written anytime after the publication of Burney's Cecilia, 1 a June 1782

T'homas Qadell MS

Hyde Collection

Mr. Johnson desires Mr. Cadel to send him, if he has it, Xenophon de Rebus Graecorum, the Scotch Edition. 1 1 SJ refers to the octavo edition of Xenophon's Hellenica published in 1762 by the Foulis Press (Philip Gaskell, Bibliography of the Foulis Press, 2d ed , 1986, p 248) SJ owned a copy at the time of his death (Greene, 1975, p 119)

SdwardQave 1 Hill (1 10) follows JB {Life 1 155-57) l n dating this letter to 1742, Chapman (1 22) assigns it conjecturally to Autumn 1743, but does not explain his decision The contents do not justify such a precise dating, even if one follows Thomas Kammski in connecting it to the "Historical Design" of SJ's letter to Cave, Autumn 1743 (Kammski, Early Career of SJ, 1987, p 251 n 50)

l\obert JJodsley M S : Folger Shakespeare Library. A D D R E S S : To Mr. Dodsley.

Sir: I have as You see written my Letter, and am yet in doubt whether I shall send it, I cannot see what good it can do you, however if you think differently from me I do not love the reputation of obstinacy or perverseness. I have dated the Letter for Monday. You may think on it, whatever you do it will please me if You can please yourself. If You have a Shakespeare pray send it though in sheets. 1 I will return it in 2 two or three days. I am, etc. SAM. J O H N S O N 1. If one assumes that SJ is referring to his own edition, then this letter could have been written anytime between the autumn of 1761 and the late summer of 1765 (the period when, by a conservative reckoning, substantial portions of the edition were "in sheets"). 2.

May 25 s

Dear Sir:

You have many requests, and many of them must be denied, but I hope this will not be of the number, by which you are desired to order your Boxkeeper, to reserve four places for Dr. Bell of Westminster, 3 any night on which You intend to appear, before Friday. I am, sir, your most humble servant, SAM. J O H N S O N 1. Address added in pencil in an unidentified hand. 2. The indisputable terminus ad quern for this letter is 1776, when Garrick retired from the stage (10 June). If the address is accurate, it cannot have been written before he moved into the Adelphi (Mar. 1772) {Letters of David. Garrick, ed. D. M. Little and G. M. Kahrl, 1963,11.775). The most reliable terminus a quo is the date of William Bell's doctoral degree, 1767. 3. William Bell (1731—1816), D.D., Prebendary of Westminster and brother of John Bell (1745-1831), the London bookseller.

Dear Sir: That You and dear Mrs. Careless should have care or curiosity about my health gives me that pleasure which every man feels from finding himself not forgotten. In age we feel again that 1. As the postmark makes clear, this letter was misplaced by JB (Life, 1791, 11.421), who dated it c. Mar. 1782. It is inconceivable that it could have been written in Aug. 1782, given SJ's serious and protracted illness during that period. I follow Hill (Life iv.147 n. 1) and Chapman (11.473) m accepting 1780 as the terminus ad quern (Henry Thrale died in Apr. 1781, and, as Hill observes, "What he says of friendship renders it almost certain that the letter was written while he had still Thrale"). 1778 and 1780 are both possible dates.

love of our native place and our early friends, which in the bustle or amusements of middle life were overborn and suspended. You and I should now naturally cling to one another, we have outlived most of those who could pretend to rival us in each other's kindness. In our walk through life we have dropped our companions and are now to pick u p such as chance may offer us, or 2 to travel on alone. You indeed have a sister with whom you can divide the day, I have no natural friend left, but Providence has been pleased to preserve me from neglect, I have not wanted such alleviations of life as friendship could supply. My Health has been from my twentieth year such as has seldom afforded me a single day of ease, but it is at least not worse, and I sometimes make myself believe that [it] is better. My disorders are however still sufficiently oppressive. I think of seeing Staffordshire again this autumn, and intend to find my way through Birmingham, where I hope to see You and dear Mrs. Careless well. I am, Sir, Your affectionate Friend, SAM.

Mr. Johnson returns thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Hoole for their kind attention and enquiries. 1. In all likelihood this note belongs to the last few years of SJ's life, c. 1780-84. Its indisputable terminus a quo, however, is 1761, the year in which Hoole was introduced to SJ (Hazen, p. 60 n. 2).

Sir:

You are accustomed to consider advertisements and to observe what stile has most effect upon the publick.

Please to return me the paper. 1 Griffith Jones (1722-86), printer, translator, and for "many years" editor of the London Chronicle, the Daily Advertiser, and the Public Ledger (Lit Anec in 465) "The native goodness of his heart endeared him to a numerous and respectable literary acquaintance, among whom he reckoned the philanthropic Mr John Newbery Dr Oliver Goldsmith, and the pious and learned Dr Samuel Johnson, to the latter of whom he was for several years a near neighbour in Bolt-court, Fleetstreet" (Lit Anec in 465). 2 MS mutilated, "three times" from text in European Magazine 34, 1798, P 163

J O H N S O N i It is likely that SJ refers to a report from Sir Robert Chambers on William Chauncy Lawrence (Ante To Robert Chambers, 30 Sept 1773), and that the "secret history" came from Lady Chambers (cf Ante To Robert Chambers, 31 Oct 1779) If that interpretation is correct, then the letter must date from the period between W C Lawrence's departure for India in 1773 and his death in 1783

APPENDIX I

Dearest Madam: I am sorry you misunderstood me, I did not write for my Books but for their names which you did not send me. 1 wish you would for once resolve to use any method of transacting with your friends but that of letters. You will, in whatever part of the World you may be placed, find mankind extremely impatient of such letters as you are inclined to favour them with. You can send your letters, such as the last but one, only 2 to two sorts of people, those whom you cannot pain, and those whom you can, and surely it is not eligible either to give mirth to your enemies or to raise anger in your friends.

That mistake may not gather strength by time, I make this haste to assure you, that between hurry and sickness joined with other causes of confusion, I did not on Yesterday morning know either your Face or your Voice; and that the answer which I happened to give you was intended for another, very unlike you, so that you must not be angry with, Madam, Your humble servant, SAM.

I have been hindred from writing to You by an imagination that it was necessary to write more than I had time for, but recollecting that Business may be despatched much more expeditiously by conversation, I beg to be informed when I can wait on You with most convenience to Yourself. I believe I shall find means of accommodating the affair so as to give You reasonable satisfaction. 3 You forgot to send me word what interest is due which I mention that You may examine, for though Mr. Aston 4 has a receipt for Interest which I got him to pay to Your Father, I 5 cannot conveniently wait on him about it.

In all likelihood this letter, as well as the two that follow, was written between May 1746 (the death of Theophilus Levett) and Nov. 1748 (the death of Henry Hervey Aston; see below, n. 4). 3. SJ continued to owe interest on the mortgage Theophilus Levett had granted him and his mother in 1740 {Ante To Theophilus Levett, 1 Dec. 1743 and n. 3). 4. The Hon. and Rev.

I have all the assurance that human life allows, of being able by the time you mention of settling the affair without any trouble, and shall consider this exemption from the pain of borrowing as a very considerable favour to, Sir, Your humble servant, SAM.

But take your choice, and if you like mine alter any thing that you think not ladylike. 2 2 SJ encloses a letter he had written for Frances Reynolds to send to her brother In it he expresses her concern over Sir Joshua's lack of "notice," and asks for "a degree of attention as may set me above the contempt of your servants" (MS Hyde Collection) James Northcote appears to describe this letter when he reports "Johnson, who participated with her in her troubles voluntarily offered to write a letter himself, which when copied should pass as her own This accordingly he performed, but when this letter was produced by him for her approval, she felt herself obliged to reject it, as the whole contents of it were so very unlike her own diction, and so decidedly like his, that the intended deception would no more have passed with Sir Joshua, than if Johnson had attired himself in her cap and gown, and endeavoured to impose his identical person upon Sir Joshua as his own sister" (Life of Sir Joshua Reynolds, 1818, 1 203) For similar instances of mediation, Ante To Frances Reynolds, 15 Feb 1779, 28 May 1784

I told him that as I had some personal acquaintance with Burke; if I was assisted with his friendly, and warm recommendation to that gentleman, I had no doubt that he would exert his interest to procure me a benefice. Johnson replied, that if I would engage to him, to be conscientiously attentive to my clerical duties, he would write to Burke in my favour. I sincerely made him the promise that he required of me. Dr. Johnson gave me his letter of recommendation to read; it was a short, but kind one. . . .

INDEX

SJ's writings, opinions, and principal topics of commentary have been indexed separately. The reader should therefore go directly to the relevant entry, for example, "Rasselas," "friendship," "solitude." The primary authority for locating letters to a given correspondent is the Alphabetical Table of Correspondents (v.59-72). However, as a supplementary guide to the reader, the entries for SJ's correspondents end with a comprehensive listing (by volume and page number) of all letters to the individual in question. The following abbreviations are used: Bt. (Baronet), Kt. (Knight), ment. (mentioned). Peers are listed under their titles, with cross-references from the family name. Letters and supplementary annotation that appear in the Addenda (v.55-58) have not been indexed.
