Johnson's Life Of Ascham
Text of the biography.
http://andromeda.rutgers.edu/~jlynch/Texts/ascham.html

Extractions: The Life of Ascham By Samuel Johnson Edited by Jack Lynch The text is scanned from Johnson's 1825 Oxford Works . Small capitals appear here as regular capitals. Please send suggestions and corrections to Jack Lynch IT often happens to writers, that they are known only by their works; the incidents of a literary life are seldom observed, and, therefore, seldom recounted: but Ascham has escaped the common fate by the friendship of Edward Graunt, the learned master of Westminster school, who devoted an oration to his memory, and has marked the various vicissitudes of his fortune. Graunt either avoided the labour of minute inquiry, or thought domestick occurrences unworthy of his notice; or, preferring the character of an orator to that of an historian, selected only such particulars as he could best express or most happily embellish. His narrative is, therefore, scanty, and I know not by what materials it can now be amplified. Roger Ascham was born in the year 1515, at Kirby Wiske, (or Kirby Wicke,) a village near Northallerton, in Yorkshire, of a family above the vulgar. His father, John Ascham, was house-steward in the family of Scroop; and, in that age, when the different orders of men were at a greater distance from each other, and the manners of gentlemen were regularly formed by menial services in great houses, lived with a very conspicuous reputation. Margaret Ascham, his wife, is said to have been allied to many considerable families, but her maiden name is not recorded. She had three sons, of whom Roger was the youngest, and some daughters; but who can hope, that of any progeny more than one shall deserve to be mentioned? They lived married sixty-seven years, and, at last, died together almost on the same hour of the same day.

Extractions: Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) , oft-quoted biographer, poet and lexicographer wrote A Dictionary of the English Language (1755), published in two folio volumes. In his time it was the most comprehensive English language dictionary ever compiled and remained the standard reference for over a century. The first edition included a �Grammar and History of the English Language� and thousands of quotations from such authors as John Dryden William Shakespeare and John Milton to illustrate the use of the over 42,000 words it contained�many more were added in subsequent editions. At a time when literacy rates were improving and the realm of print media was expanding at a rapid pace, pamphlets, newspapers and magazines were becoming available at a reasonable cost.

Extractions: The Plan of an English Dictionary (1747) By Samuel Johnson Edited by Jack Lynch The text is scanned from Johnson's 1825 Oxford Works . A few obvious errors have been corrected. Small capitals appear here as regular capitals. I have indented extract quotations and reduced flush-right text to flush-left. Please send suggestions and corrections to Jack Lynch TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE PHILIP DORMER, EARL OF CHESTERFIELD, One of his Majesty's principal Secretaries of State. MY LORD, WHEN first I undertook to write an English Dictionary, I had no expectation of any higher patronage than that of the proprietors of the copy, nor prospect of any other advantage than the price of my labour. I knew that the work in which I engaged is generally considered as drudgery for the blind, as the proper toil of artless industry; a task that requires neither the light of learning, nor the activity of genius, but may be successfully performed without any higher quality than that of bearing burdens with dull patience, and beating the track of the alphabet with sluggish resolution. Whether this opinion, so long transmitted, and so widely propagated, had its beginning from truth and nature, or from accident and prejudice; whether it be decreed by the authority of reason or the tyranny of ignorance, that, of all the candidates for literary praise, the unhappy lexicographer holds the lowest place, neither vanity nor interest incited me to inquire. It appeared that the province allotted me was, of all the regions of learning, generally confessed to be the least delightful, that it was believed to produce neither fruits nor flowers; and that, after a long and laborious cultivation, not even the barren laurel had been found upon it.

The Life Of Savage
Etext of the work.
http://andromeda.rutgers.edu/~jlynch/Texts/savage.html

Extractions: The Life of Savage By Samuel Johnson The text is taken from George Birkbeck Hill's edition of The Lives of the Poets . Please send all corrections and comments to Jack Lynch IT has been observed in all ages that the advantages of nature or of fortune have contributed very little to the promotion of happiness; and that those whom the splendour of their rank or the extent of their capacity have placed upon the summits of human life, have not often given any just occasion to envy in those who look up to them from a lower station: whether it be that apparent superiority incites great designs, and great designs are naturally liable to fatal miscarriages; or that the general lot of mankind is misery, and the misfortunes of those whose eminence drew upon them an universal attention have been more carefully recorded, because they were more generally observed, and have in reality been only more conspicuous than those of others, not more frequent, or more severe. That affluence and power, advantages extrinsick and adventitious, and therefore easily separable from those by whom they are possessed, should very often flatter the mind with expectations of felicity which they cannot give, raises no astonishment: but it seems rational to hope that intellectual greatness should produce better effects; that minds qualified for great attainments should first endeavour their own benefit; and that they who are most able to teach others the way to happiness should with most certainty follow it themselves.

Extractions: Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) - Byname Dr. Johnson English poet, essayist, critic, journalist, lexicographer, conversationalist, regarded as one of the outstanding figures of 18th-century life and letters. Johnson's literary reputation is part dependent on James Boswell's (1740-1795) biography The Life of Samuel Johnson LL.D . (1791), with whom he formed one of the most famous friendships in literary history. The writer Ford Madox Ford has considered Johnson the most tragic figures of English literature, "whose still living writings are always ignored, a great honest man who will remain forever a figure of half fun because of the leechlike adoration of the greatest and most ridiculous of all biographers. For it is impossible not to believe that, without Boswell, Johnson for us today would shine like a sun in the heavens whilst Addison sat forgotten in coffee houses." (from The March of Literature � Johnson became Doctor Johnson when Dublin University gave him the honorary degree in 1765. He had a huge, strong athletic build, his appetite was legendary and it is said that he often drank over 25 cups of tea at one sitting.

Macaulay's Review Of Croker's Boswell
Thomas Macauley s review of the Croker edition of Life of Johnson.
http://andromeda.rutgers.edu/~jlynch/Texts/macaulay.html

Extractions: Macaulay's Review of Croker's Boswell Thomas Macaulay's review of John Croker's new edition of James Boswell's Life of Johnson appeared in September 1831, and was one of the most influential works on Samuel Johnson to appear in the nineteenth century in fact, to this day, Johnsonian scholars are fighting to undo some of the damage Macaulay inflicted. The text here is edited by Jack Lynch from The Works of Lord Macaulay , 12 vols. (London: Longmans Green and Co., 1898), VIII, 56-111. I have made the following changes: The text otherwise reproduces the 1898 text in all accidentals. Please send corrections and comments to Jack Lynch The Life of Samuel Johnson, LL.D. Including a Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides, by James Boswell, Esq. A New Edition, with numerous Additions and Notes . By JOHN WILSON CROKER, LL.D. F.R.S. Five volumes 8vo. London: 1831. THIS work has greatly disappointed us. Whatever faults we may have been prepared to find in it, we fully expected that it would be a valuable addition to English literature; that it would contain many curious facts, and many judicious remarks; that the style of the notes would be neat, clear, and precise; and that the typographical execution would be, as in new editions of classical works it ought to be, almost faultless. We are sorry to be obliged to say that the merits of Mr. Croker's performance are on a par with those of a certain leg of mutton on which Dr. Johnson dined, while travelling from London to Oxford, and which he, with characteristic energy, pronounced to be "as bad as bad could be, ill fed, ill killed, ill kept, and ill dressed." This edition is ill compiled, ill arranged, ill written, and ill printed.

Extractions: Jump to: navigation search Johnson, Samuel (1709-1784): English, Poet, Critic, Lexicographer, Essayist, Biographer, Editor, Travel Writer, Dramatist, and Novelist. Samuel Johnson, born in Staffordshire, was the son of a bookseller. He became the leading literary figure of his age. In 1712, when he contracted scrofula, his father took him to London to be touched by Queen Anne, for it was believed that only the touch of a member of the royalty could cure the disease. Because of his reputation as a leading literary figure of the age, Prime Minister Lord Bute in 1762 awarded him an annual royal pension of £300. Johnson attended Pembroke College (Oxford) for a short time (1728-1729) but left because of financial problems. His lack of a degree prevented him from obtaining teaching positions, so he opened his own school but only attracted three studentsone of them being David Garrickand was forced to close. In 1737, he left for London with Garrick. After his success as a writer, Johnson received honorary degrees from Trinity College in Dublin in 1765 and from Oxford in 1775. Upon his death in 1784, Johnson was buried in Westminster Abbey.
