Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Life and Correspondence of Samuel Johnson, D. D: Missionary of the Church of England in Connecticut, and First President of King's College, New York
By introducing large portions of his correspondence with eminent men in this country, and with Bishops and leading minds in the Church of England, I have made him in a measure his own biographer, and at the same time rescued from oblivion faded manuscripts which the accidents of another generation might have put quite beyond our reach. One gets a better idea of a man from seeing him in his letters and writings than from the estimates of those who weigh him in their own scales, and describe him in their own language.
