Excerpt from Boswell's Autobiography
The motor forces so Often alluded to betoken the various forms of exuberance which exerted a sort of pressure on Boswell's ebullient disposition. He thus brought all his varied powers to the enforcement Of his one great aim and end - viz., the assertion of his supremacy.
The list of the author's writings shows that he at least deserves the credit of industry in his Johnsonian studies, which have been pursued for a period of at least fifty years. So I hope I may claim some credit for these contributions to what the great Sage has called the public stock of harmless pleasure, without being thought boast ful or egotistic.
