"Samuel Johnson is today far too little read, enjoyed, and appreciated. Ironically, James Boswell is perhaps more famous than the man he set out to immortalize. But Johnson himself, whom Dr. Maclean of Mull declared was "just a hogshead of sense," has far more to say to us than Boswell, especially about things of pressing interest to the common man of our age. His great talent was his preternatural ability to get to the core of his subject, to clear our minds to receive what he called, in a telling phrase, "the stability of truth.""--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
