The book is a must-read for anyone interested in the life and works of Samuel Johnson, as well as those who enjoy reading personal accounts of historical figures.I will relate one thing more that Dr. Johnson said about babyhood before I quit the subject; it was this: ""That little people should be encouraged always to tell whatever they hear particularly striking to some brother, sister, or servant immediately, before the impression is erased by the intervention of newer occurrences.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
