A Biographical Sketch of Dr Samuel Johnson - Critical Response

Critical Response

James Boswell, in his Life of Samuel Johnson, wrote:

" abounded in anecdote, but was no sufficiently attentive to accuracy. I therefore cannot venture to avail myself much of a biographical sketch of Johnson which he published, being one among the various persons ambitious of appending their names to that of my illustrious friend. That sketch is, however, an entertaining little collection of fragments."
