This book includes pieces from all of his works and proves emphatically that he thought for himself on a wide range of subjects; also, that he cannot be cast as "the eternal Tory". The editors, E. L. Mc- Adam, Jr., and George Milne, have presented Johnson's first, unrevised thoughts, geprinting entirely from first editions of| his many and colorful works. Included in this Johnson trea- sury are the most famous of his works -- the lives of Savage and Milton, Rasselas, the pre- face to the Dictionary, the Pre face to Shakespeare, and sam- ples of Johnson's poetry--light and serious, There are also pieces which reflect the honesty and forth- rightness of a mind truly "free of cant". We get Johnson's views on such subjects as sla- very, current poljtical scenes. Also included are Johnson's let- ters and a section of quotations from Boswell that illustrate' "Johnson talking'. The editors have thoughtfully included John- where relevant, his revisions. The authors point out that Johnson composed poetry as a schoolboy and continued to do! and condensation of Lobo's Voyage to Abysinnia in 1735.
