of the world as9
the following letter to9

it is not worth9
which there is a9

a very worthy man9
that he has a9
received a letter from9
into the hands of9
take the trouble to9
that he could be9
that it had been9
of the law of9
the degree of master9
that it was strange9
of living in the9

the state of my9
would not have you9
a very young man9
as a man who9
and i have been9

at this time was9
hockley in the hole9
i need not tell9
the master of the9
i hope he will9
is the worse for9
and some other company9
he had never read9
to me to have9
one of his executors9
the first part of9
who lived with him9
it has pleased god9
for a man of9

master of the house9
and now and then9
i am sure you9
of the first volume9
he could not be9
that it would have9
at an early period9
he had not read9
we had a very9
but he would not9
no reason to complain9
he was willing to9
a woman of the9
to hear from you9
a few years ago9
told sir joshua reynolds9
though he could not9

on the same subject9
which is to be9

one of his little9
the first time that9

in which i had8
the loss of his8
to keep up the8
a time when he8

some part of the8
the state of a8

to talk to him8
i mentioned it to8
as is shewn by8
at my lodgings in8

after his return to7

the force of his7
wish to have a7

and that there was7
what he did with7
i would rather have7
the law of scotland7
because he has not7
for the exercise of7
to be present at7
whig was the devil7
when you have read7
it is worthy of7
which he accordingly did7
the man of feeling7
is a pity he7
parts of the kingdom7
from day to day7
at the court of7
compliments to all the7
put to the torture7

of the same size7
much pleased with his7
that they were not7
much of it as7
communicated to me the7
i have known him7
present state of the7
of my friend mr7
learnt to play at7
had he not been7
the decision of the7
of the difficulty of7
i went to the7
and studies of a7
it is necessary to7
i will tell you7
you down with the7
was passing through the7
it should not be7
at the sight of7
i will not be7
may be said of7
it should seem that7
he would not be7
no man was ever7
that johnson said of7
a man of sense7
the case of dr7
little more than a7
with many of the7
one of the counsel7
to be a man7
in which johnson is7
on a visit at7
in a note to7
greatest part of men7
there may be a7
while he was at7
from his earliest years7
letters to lord mansfield7
exhibits himself for a7
but there is a7
in the practice of7
because he did not7
in the highlands and7
when we were at7
him what he thought7
not to drink wine7
where he is not7
is not necessary to7
you would not have7
the dedication of his7
where it is said7
but he is a7
i have been informed7
the elder brother of7
course of his life7
i should be very7
spring of this year7
but it would be7
the hands of a7
in the world for7
if you are to7
to have the honour7
him one of the7
is now in the7
an instance of the7
this is one of7
to me in a7
than any one else7
him to be a7
of a country clergyman7
the reason of this7
a man cannot be7
the man who has7
never shall forget the7
of him to me7
by the following passage7
a letter of introduction7
in the gordon riots7
the time in which7
hundred and fifty pounds7
he used to do7
it is a great7
look upon myself as7
to which a man7

and he was not7
which i should have7
at one of the7
thought it necessary to7
members of the literary7
but he was not7
great many years ago7
much to be lamented7
if he should be7
of the manner in7
in the last century7
i will not say7
he is in the7
foreign correspondence to the7
if i were to7
and as a proof7
the excellence of his7
told him that he7
we are told that7
the truth of the7
and seemed to be7
am inclined to think7
himself for a shilling7
the life and writings7
a proof of this7
he is to have7
i think i have7
in which there is7
and ought to be7
by the contemplation of7
is shown by the7
but he does not7
he was in great7
to give an account7
which he has had7
he had not the7
which i gave him7
influence of the crown7
let her know that7
a man not to7
the dignity of the7
it must be acknowledged7
walking up and down7
once in his life7
storm of wind and7
i am inclined to7
a great respect for7
ignorant of the world7
the favour of the7
as much as a7
he is not a7
as much as i7
those who do not7
this had happened to7
in a company where7
because he could not7

it is much to7
on account of their7
first whig was the7
me with a copy7
the proprietor of the7
man who has written7
one of his works7
of the roman catholick7
that you may have7
is but justice to7
it is a pity7
manners of a gentleman7
of him as a7
the influence of a7
that no man ever7
know not whether it7
but a small part7
nostrum nomen miscebitur istis7
of the new town7
there might be a7
he ought not to7

the son of a7

now one of the7
of the life and7
look that expressed that7
with the reverend dr7

to hear that you7
his pistol misses fire7
at least not sober7
for i have been7
the progress of his7
particulars of his life7
no reason to be7
in his own handwriting7
by the help of7
in which he says7
the th of august7
life of edmund smith7
telling him that he7
have you ever seen7
two hundred pounds a7
do not see how7
was too proud to7
talked of going to7
him that it was7
to dine with the7

what is there in7
rising in the world7
a very good humour7
that he should have7
down in his presence7
