So much has been written about English writer and critic Samuel Johnson that it might be thought the subject was exhausted. But notwithstanding the many things, fine and foolish, that are on record, the interest in the man is perennial, and welcome sidelights may still be found by the true Johnsonians. Bearing this in mind, let the bibliophile who has the chance procure a copy of the eight-page pamphlet whose title-page is here transcribed. The title is "Dialogue Between Dr. Johnson and Mrs. Knowles." The pamphlet is about the conversation between Johnson and intelligent Quaker lady, Mary Knowles on the relative amount of liberty allowed to man and woman. Friendship and universal benevolence were also considered. |
