Publisher's Synopsis

More often quoted than read, Samuel Johnson gave much more to life than the pithy sayings jotted down by Boswell. This selection from his work includes essays, his moral fable 'Rasselas', the prefaces to his dictionary to his edition of Shakespeare, & selections from 'Lives of the Poets'.
