A toast proposed at the Johnson Birthday Celebration held at the
Three Crowns Inn, Lichfield, in September, 1906. In rising to
propose this toast I cannot ignore what must be in many of your
minds, the recollection that last year it was submitted by a very
dear friend of my own, who, alas has now gone to his rest, I mean
Dr. Richard Garnett. {3} Many of you who heard him in this place
will recall, with kindly memories, that venerable scholar. I am one
of those who, in the interval have stood beside his open grave; and
I know you will permit me to testify here to the fact that rarely
has such brilliant scholarship been combined with so kindly a
nature, and with so much generosity to other workers in the
literary field. One may sigh that it is not possible to perpetuate
for all time for the benefit of others the vast mass of learning
which such men as Dr. Garnett are able to accumulate. One may
lament even more that one is not able to present in some concrete
form, as an example to those who follow, his fine qualities of
heart and mind-his generous faculty for 'helping lame dogs over
stiles.'
