Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Life and Times of William Samuel Johnson, LL. D: First Senator in Congress From Connecticut, and President of Columbia College, New York
His Diary, begun after his appointment as a colo nial agent and continued until his return to Amer ica, has guided me to some important materials, and enabled me to go in and out with him as he visited the King's Bench, the Houses of Parliament, and the great and good men of the realm, whose acquaintance served to cheer him in his weary sojourn. Though showing to a limited extent the manners and customs of the period, it is almost too fragmentary to publish; besides, as the better portions of it are given and eu larged upon in his letters, the publication seems to be uncalled for, particularly in a work of this kind.
