Excerpt from Croker's Boswell and Boswell: Studies in the Life of Johnson
The following pages have been written con amore, with a view of contributing to the further enjoyment of one of the most enjoyable books in our language. Many an old monument, however, before its beauties can be thoroughly appreciated, must be first cleared of its whitewash, pews, and churchwarden's Gothic which has overlaid the genuine work; and to this wholesome restoration of Boswell's Johnson the first portion of the volume is devoted.
