Series 78: Correspondence concerning a monument to Dr Samuel Johnson, 1791 Number of documents Provenance note The documents in this series, previously located at ML A 80-2, were purchased in 1884 from Lord Brabourne by Sir Saul Samuel, the Agent-General for New South Wales. They were transferred to the Mitchell Library in 1910 and were part of the accession which became known as the Brabourne collection. Background note Dr Samuel Johnson died on 13 December 1784 and was buried at Poet's Corner in Westminster Abbey. A committee had been formed to establish a subscription fund for a monument to the memory of Johnson, headed by Dr Edmund Malone. Debate about whether the monument should be in St Paul's Cathedral or at Johnson's burial site in Westminster Abbey was eventually resolved by a special committee which had been formed in January 1790 and included Sir Joshua Reynolds, President of the Academy of Arts, and Sir Joseph Banks. On 5 April 1791 resolution in favour of St Paul's was reached by a majority vote, supported by Reynolds but opposed by Banks. The statue of Dr Samuel Johnson was eventually placed in St Paul's in 1796.

September 18 ~  Diligence and Skill Samuel Johnson Is Indignant A l l knowledge is of itself of so m e value. There is nothing so m in u t e or inconsiderable, that I would not rather k n o w it than not." ~ Samuel Johnson Born on this day in Lichfield, England Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) was a man of diligence and skill who overcame childhood blindness and adversity. Desperately poor until his fifties, his face was scarred by scrofula. "No people can be great who have ceased to be virtuous," wrote Johnson. Often quoted, highly respected, he was considered an 18th century giant of literature. With superb style, he celebrated morality and mankind. He is best known for the massive Dictionary of the English Language (1755), which took him over seven years to create. Johnson's masterpiece, which included 43,500 words , became one of the most important works ever compiled and standardized the language. "The natural flights of the human mind are not from pleasure to pleasure, but from hope to hope," he wrote in The Rambler Johnson's Shakespeare (1765) translated obscure passages and was the model for later interpretations.

A friend may be often found and lost, but an old friend never can be found, and nature has provided that he cannot easily be lost. A gentleman who had been very unhappy in marriage, married immediately after his wife died; it was the triumph of hope over experience. A man finds in the productions of nature an inexhaustible stock of material on which he can employ himself, without any temptations to envy or malevolence, and has always a certain prospect of discovering new reasons for adoring the sovereign author of the universe. A man has no more right to say an uncivil thing to another man than he has to knock him down. A wise man will make haste to forgive, because he knows the true value of time, and will not suffer it to pass away in unnecessary pain. All knowledge is of itself of some value. There is nothing so minute or inconsiderable that I would not rather know it than not.

Samuel Johnson Born in Lichfield on September 18, 1709, Samuel Johnson is one of the most prolific writers in the English language. Although Johnson grew up poor, his childhood was spent in an ideal evironment for a writer. His father ran a small bookshop, and Johnson had the opportunity to indulge his love of reading and learning (he was considered a prodigy in his early school days) (Sitter 186). At nineteen he entered Oxford, but was hardly a model student. Johnson once said that "he knew almost as much at eighteen as he did when he was in his fifties" (Sitter 186). At Oxford he found little to inspire him, and often didn't bother to attend his classes. It was, however, during this period that that he published his first work, a translation into Latin of Pope's poem "Messiah" (Sitter 186). Due to financial problems, Johnson left Oxford without a degree and spent two years at home in Lichfield before moving to Birmingham, where he worked for a newspaper and as a translator. It was here that he met his wife, the widow Elizabeth Porter, who was twenty years older than him. Their marriage allowed Johnson to open a boarding school in Edial, but it was soon closed for lack of students. After this failure Johnson decided to try his luck in London. He moved there in 1737 and spent the next twenty-five years earning a living by writing. Johnson's first job as a writer in London was a spot at Gentleman's Magazine , and from there he proceeded to revolutionize journalism. From this point until his retirement Johnson wrote constantly, covering a wide variety of subjects such as poetry, drama, journalism, satire, biography, criticism, politics and parliamentary reporting, sermons, travel, essays, prose, and, of course, the

Life Of Joseph Addison By Samuel Johnson Introductory Note Introductory Note Next Introductory Note Samuel Johnson (1709-1784), the great literary dictator of the latter part of the eighteenth century, was the son of a bookseller at Lichfield. After leaving Oxford, he tried teaching, but soon gave it up, and came to London in 1737, where he supported himself by his pen. After years of hardship he finally rose to the head of his profession, and a pension of 300 Pounds a year from George III. made his later years free from anxiety. [See Samuel Johnson: Samuel Johnson at the house of Lord Chesterfield. From the painting by E.M. Ward, R.A..] It is generally agreed that none of Johnson`s various works is the equal of his conversation as reported in the greatest of English biographies, Boswell`s "Life of Johnson." But the "Lives of the Poets," written as prefaces to a collection of the English poets, is his most permanently valuable production, and, though limited by the standards of his time, is full of acute criticism admirably expressed. The "Life of Addison" is one of the most sympathetic of the "Lives," and gives an excellent idea of Johnson`s matter and manner.

Contact Samuel Johnson 1709-1784 Samuel Johnson, poet, essayist and lexicographer, was born in Litchfield, son of a book seller, who himself was born in Great Cubley in Derbyshire. Johnson lived and worked in Litchfield for a time as a teacher and a bookseller and married Mrs Elisabeth Porter, who was 20 years his senior, in St Werburghs Church, Derby, in 1735. He moved to London 2 years later and earned some reknown as a prose moralist, notably with his periodical essays 'The Rambler' and The idler', and later with his philosophical romance 'The Prince of Abysinia, later known as Rasselas. Johnson's most famous work was the 'Dictionary of the English Language', published in 1755, which remained without rivel until the creation of the Oxford Englidh Dictionary, over a hundred years later. Johnson wrote the definition of over 40,000 words illustrating them with 114,000 quotations from every field of learning. With James Boswell, who was later to become his biographer, he travelled in Scotland and published his observation's in 'A Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland'.

Johnson's literary reputation is part dependent on James Boswell's (1740-1795) biography The Life of Samuel Johnson LL.D . (1791). The writer Ford Madox Ford has considered Johnson the most tragic figures of English literature, "whose still living writings are always ignored, a great honest man who will remain forever a figure of half fun because of the leechlike adoration of the greatest and most ridiculous of all biographers. For it is impossible not to believe that, without Boswell, Johnson for us today would shine like a sun in the heavens whilst Addison sat forgotten in coffee houses." (from The March of Literature - Johnson became Doctor Johnson when Dublin University gave him the honorary degree in 1765. He had a huge, strong athletic build, his appetite was legendary and it is said that he often drank over 25 cups of tea at one sitting. "One of the disadvantages of wine is that it makes a man mistake words for thoughts."
