Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Johnsonian Gleanings, Vol. 1: Notes on Dr. Johnson's Ancestors and Connexions and Illustrative of His Early Life, With Frontispiece and Seven Plates
The first thirty pages of this book consist of fifteen articles contributed to Notes and Queries, the first on 12 Oct., 1907, the last on 12 June, 1909, for permission to reprint which I owe thanks to the editor. The remaining pages are an expansion of a letter to The Times, with other new material. Much of the information is complementary to my large volume on The Reades of Blackwood Hill and Dr. Johnson's Ancestry, ' privately printed in 1906. It is hoped that the seven unpublished portraits of members of the Johnsonian circle at Lichfield will add to the value of the work.
