First published in 1958, this book contains four essays on various
aspects of Johnson's personality and achievement as well as a
survey of the work of Thomas Fuller; a comparison of Pepys and
Boswell as diarists; a study of Thomas Gray's life in Cambridge; an
essay on James Beresford, author of The Miseries of Human Life, a
best-seller of 200 years ago; a brief account, based upon an
unpublished diary, of B. W. Beatson, an early nineteenth-century
don; and, finally, an essay on the 'inimitable' Max Beerbohm, whom
Sir Sydney once dared to imitate.
