8918	''Was there ever,''cried he,''such stuff as great part of Shakespeare?
8918	''What do they make me say, Sir?''
8918	''What''s the matter?''
8918	''You perhaps ask, whither should I go?
8918	''_ He''ll be of us_,( said Johnson) how does he know we will_ permit_ him?
8918	''_ Langton_ is a good Cumæ, but who must be Sibylla?

8918	Besides, Sir, what influence can Mr. Sheridan have upon the language of this great country, by his narrow exertions?
8918	But if a man can be supposed to make no provision for death in war, what can be the state that would have awakened him to the care of futurity?
8918	But what can I do?
8918	But what can you expect, as Lord Kames justly observes, from a school where boys are taught to rob on the highway?''
8918	But what is success to him that has none to enjoy it?

8918	Do n''t you like it, Sir?"
8918	Do you know Mathematicks?
8918	Do you know Natural History?''
8918	Ego cur, acquirere pauca Si possum, invideor; cum lingua Catonis et Enni Sermonem patrium ditaverit, et nova rerum Nomina protulerit?
8918	Garrick overhearing him, exclaimed,''eh?
8918	Have you any more notes on Shakspeare?
8918	He asked me, I suppose, by way of trying my disposition,''Is not this very fine?''
8918	He behaved with perfect composure at his execution, and called out''_ Dulce et decorum est pro patriâ mori_?''
8918	He continues:--''Such is the reason of our practice; and who shall treat it with contempt?
8918	He looked at me as if I had talked of going to the North Pole, and said,"You do not insist on my accompanying you?"
8918	He then addressed himself to Davies:''What do you think of Garrick?
8918	He then began to descant upon the force of testimony, and the little we could know of final causes; so that the objections of, why was it so?
8918	He then called to the boy,''What would you give, my lad, to know about the Argonauts?''
8918	How are you to get all the etymologies?
8918	How goes Apollonius[844]?
8918	How other- wise was Johnson able to hire and furnish a large house for his school?
8918	How shall we determine the proportion of intrinsick merit?
8918	How would"disposition"do?...
8918	I am afraid my stay with you can not be long; but what is the inference?
8918	I ask him a plain question,''What do you mean to teach?''
8918	I have already assumed the bee for my device, and who ever brought an action of trover or trespass against that avowed free- booter?
8918	If Mrs. Johnson had not money, how did she and her husband live from July 1735 to the spring of 1738?
8918	If you said two and two make four, he would say,"How will you prove that, Sir?"
8918	In all modern periods of this country, have not the writers on one side been regularly called hirelings, and on the other patriots?''
8918	Is Boulter there?''
8918	Is that not too strong?
8918	Is there not sad stuff?
8918	Is this the language of one who wished to blast the laurels of Milton[683]?
8918	Johnson has thus translated:--''Canst thou believe the vast eternal mind Was e''er to Syrts and Libyan sands confin''d?
8918	Johnson?''
8918	Late in life, if any man praised a book in his presence, he was sure to ask,''Did you read it through?''
8918	Lord Lansdowne was the Granville of Pope''s couplet--''But why then publish?
8918	May I enquire after her?
8918	May I fondly hope that to the maker of so large an Index will be extended the gratitude which Lord Bolingbroke says was once shown to lexicographers?
8918	May not this, however, be a poetical fiction?
8918	May there not be the same difference between men who read as their taste prompts and men who are confined in cells and colleges to stated tasks?
8918	Misfortune, indeed, he may yet feel; for where is the bottom of the misery of man?
8918	Mr. Burney asked him then if he had seen Warburton''s book against Bolingbroke''s_ Philosophy_[983]?
8918	Must helpless man, in ignorance sedate, Roll darkling down the torrent of his fate?

8918	On Oct. 10, 1779, Boswell told Johnson, that he had been''agreeably mistaken''in saying:--''What would it avail me in this gloom of solitude?''
8918	Quid autem Cæcilio Plautoque dabit Romanus, ademptum Virgilio Varioque?
8918	Quis sanus hirtam agrestemque vestem Lucullo obtulisset, cujus omnia fere Serum opificia, omnia Parmae vellera, omnes Tyri colores latuerunt?
8918	Shall I come uninvited, or stay here where nobody perhaps would miss me if I went?
8918	Shall JOHNSON friendless range the town?
8918	Shall dull suspense corrupt the stagnant mind?
8918	Shall no dislike alarm, no wishes rise, No cries attempt the mercy of the skies?
8918	Shall the Presbyterian_ Kirk_ of Scotland have its General Assembly, and the Church of England be denied its Convocation?''
8918	Sir, you may analyse this, and say what is there in it?
8918	That he would choose this waste, this barren ground, To teach the thin inhabitants around, And leave his truth in wilds and deserts drown''d?''
8918	That it must be so soon quitted, is a powerful remedy against impatience; but what shall free us from reluctance?
8918	The Stuarts have found few apologists, for the dead can not pay for praise; and who will, without reward, oppose the tide of popularity?
8918	The passage is in Thomson''s_ Winter_, l. 116:--''In what far- distant region of the sky, Hush''d in deep silence, sleep ye when''tis calm?''
8918	The visit was paid early in the year, and was over in February; what haymakers were there at that season?
8918	They would all have some people under them; why not then have some people above them?''
8918	This most unlucky accident threw him into such a fit of shame and anger that he roared out like a bull,"What have I done?
8918	To either of these how could any answer be returned?
8918	To this circumstance Mr. Derrick alludes in the following lines of his_ Fortune, a Rhapsody_:''Will no kind patron JOHNSON own?
8918	Was Mallet anywise hurt by his publication of Lord Bolingbroke?
8918	Was there a single writer at that time who had objected to torture?
8918	Was there more than one?
8918	We can fit the two volumnes in two hours, ca n''t we?"
8918	What have I done?"''
8918	What then can be the reason why we lament more him that dies of a wound, than him that dies of a fever?
8918	What was Johnson doing meanwhile?
8918	What?
8918	What?
8918	What?''
8918	When the messenger who carried the last sheet to Millar returned, Johnson asked him,''Well, what did he say?''
8918	When would that man have prepared himself to die, who went to seek death without preparation?
8918	Where hangs the new volume[821]?
8918	Where warbles to thy ear the sacred throng, Thy moral sense, thy dignity of song?
8918	Where was Mrs. Johnson living at this time?
8918	Where was the offence?
8918	Whether Roper''s?
8918	Why then should I suppress it?
8918	Why''out of the abundance of the heart''should I not speak[75]?
8918	Why, now, there is stealing; why should it be thought a crime?
8918	Will it not, Sir?"
8918	Will you believe me, when I assure you he told me"he had but one, and that he kept for_ his own reading_?"''
8918	Will you now do my picture?
8918	With the debates, shall not I have business enough?
8918	Would your society[440], or any gentleman, or body of men that you know, take such a bargain?

8918	what gleam is that which paints the air?

8918	ye little short- sighted criticks, could JOHNSON be envious of the talents of any of his contemporaries?
10357	And did not you tell him he was a rascal[35]?
10357	And how did Mrs. Montagu herself behave?
10357	But how did she bear this?
10357	But now,said Mr. Crutchley to me,"I have not a notion of sitting for my picture-- for who wants it?
10357	Had I seen Dr. Johnson''s_ Lives of the Poets_?
10357	Has he taken,said she,"anything?"
10357	Hutton,said the King to him one morning,"is it true that you Moravians marry without any previous knowledge of each other?"
10357	I can see the fraud plainly enough,is said to have been Fox''s retort,"but where is the piety?"''
10357	Pray, who is she?
10357	Why so?
10357	''"It is very comical, is it not, Sir?"
10357	''A trick,''she continues,''which I have seen played on common occasions of sitting steadily[?
10357	''And who is the worse for that?''
10357	''Are not atheism and bigotry first cousins?
10357	''As Waller professed to have imitated Fairfax, do you think a few pages of Fairfax would enrich our edition?
10357	''But does not the text say,"As the tree falls, so it must lie[699]?"''
10357	''But may not a man attain to such a degree of hope as not to be uneasy from the fear of death?''
10357	''But may not solids swell and be distended?''
10357	''But, Sir, was he not once a factious man?''
10357	''Certainly,( said the Doctor;) but,( turning to me,) how old is your pig?''

10357	It has been the subject of discussion, whether there are two distinct particulars mentioned here?

9072	You scrape them, it seems, very neatly, and what next?''
9072	[ 1284]''Whence,''asks Goldsmith,''has proceeded the vain magnificence of expensive architecture in our colleges?
9072	[ 397]''What have we acquired?
9072	[ 447] Burke had thus answered Boswell''s proposal:--''What is that Scripture to which they are content to subscribe?
9072	[ 669]''But how did he return, this haughty brave, Who whipt the winds, and made the sea his slave?
9072	[ 794]''When Davies printed the_ Fugitive Pieces_ without his knowledge or consent;"How,"said I,"would Pope have raved had he been served so?"
9072	[ 834]''Do not you long to hear the roarings of the old lion over the bleak mountains of the North?''
9072	[?
9072	and how does Lord Monboddo?''
9072	come tell it, and burn ye,--''He was, could he help it?
9072	from the Coptick Church?
9072	from the Greek Church?
9072	from the Romish Church?
9072	if not on the word_ Fort_?
9072	nay, that five pickle- shops can serve all the kingdom?
9072	what?"
9072	when shall I marry me?
9072	why the wolf?
9072	you sigh?"
1564	And did not you tell him he was a rascal?
1564	But you think, Sir, that Warburton is a superiour critick to Theobald?
1564	But, Sir,( said Mr. Burney,) you''ll have Warburton upon your bones, wo n''t you?
1564	Certainly,( said the Doctor;) but,( turning to me,) how old is your pig?
1564	Did he indeed speak for half an hour?
1564	Pray, Sir,( said I,) how many opera girls may there be?
1564	Why so? 1564 Why, Sir, do you stare?
1564	''A flagelet, Sir!--so small an instrument?
1564	''And do you think that absolutely essential, Sir?''
1564	''And how was it, Sir?''
1564	''And if Jack Wilkes SHOULD be there, what is that to ME, Sir?
1564	''And pray, Sir, what do you do with them?
1564	''And what next?''
1564	''And who is the worse for that?''
1564	''Are you serious, Sir, in advising me to buy St. Kilda?
1564	''Are you?
1564	''But has he not brought Shakspeare into notice?''
1564	''But have they a moral right to do this?''
1564	''But have you not the THING?''
1564	''But how is a man to act, Sir?
1564	''But if I have a gardener at any rate?--''JOHNSON.
1564	''But if they should be good, why not give them hearty praise?''
1564	''But if we could have pleasure always, should not we be happy?
1564	''But if you see a friend going to tumble over a precipice?''
1564	''But is not the fear of death natural to man?''
1564	''But may not a man attain to such a degree of hope as not to be uneasy from the fear of death?''
1564	''But may we not fortify our minds for the approach of death?''
1564	''But of what use will it be, Sir?''
1564	''But stay,( said he, with his usual intelligence, and accuracy of enquiry,) does it take much wine to make him drunk?''
1564	''But then, Sir, their masses for the dead?''
1564	''But why did you not take your revenge directly?''
1564	''But why nations?
1564	''But why smite his bosom, Sir?''
1564	''But would you take the trouble of rearing it?''
1564	''But you would not have me to bind myself by a solemn obligation?''
1564	''But, Sir, does not Rousseau talk such nonsense?''
1564	''But, Sir, does not heat relax?''
1564	''But, Sir, if a bookseller should bring you a manuscript to look at?''
1564	''But, Sir, is it not a sad thing to be at a distance from all our literary friends?''
1564	''But, Sir, is it not very hard that I should not be allowed to teach my children what I really believe to be the truth?''
1564	''But, Sir, may there not be very good conversation without a contest for superiority?''
1564	''But, Sir, ought not Christians to have liberty of conscience?''
1564	''But, Sir, why do n''t you give us something in some other way?''
1564	''But, Sir, would not you wish to know old age?
1564	''But, was it not hard, Sir, to expel them, for I am told they were good beings?''
1564	''Colman, in a note on his translation of Terence, talking of Shakspeare''s learning, asks,"What says Farmer to this?
1564	''Confession?''
1564	''DEAR SIR,--What can be the reason that I hear nothing from you?
1564	''Did not he think of exhibiting you, Sir?''
1564	''Did you find, Sir, his conversation to be of a superiour style?''
1564	''Did you hear?''
1564	''Do n''t you eat supper, Sir?''
1564	''Do you think, Sir, it is always culpable to laugh at a man to his face?''
1564	''Do you think, Sir, that all who commit suicide are mad?''
1564	''Do you think, Sir, that there are any perfect synonimes in any language?''
1564	''Do you think, Sir, you could make your Ramblers better?''
1564	''Does not Gray''s poetry, Sir, tower above the common mark?''
1564	''Does the dog talk of me?''
1564	''Early, Sir?''
1564	''Foote has a great deal of humour?''
1564	''For why( he urged,) should not Judges get riches, as well as those who deserve them less?''
1564	''HE''LL BE OF US,( said Johnson) how does he know we will PERMIT him?
1564	''Has Langton no orchard?''
1564	''Have not they vexed yourself a little, Sir?
1564	''Have you seen them, Sir?''
1564	''He for subscribers bates his hook, And takes your cash; but where''s the book?
1564	''Hold, Sir, do you believe that some will be punished at all?''
1564	''How can it be possible to spend that money in Scotland?''
1564	''How comes it that you tell me nothing of your lady?
1564	''How do you live, Sir?
1564	''How does poor Smart do, Sir; is he likely to recover?''
1564	''How is this to be known?
1564	''How is this, Sir?
1564	''How so, Sir?''
1564	''How so, Sir?''
1564	''How so, Sir?''
1564	''I suppose, Sir, you could not make them better?''
1564	''Is getting a hundred thousand pounds a proof of excellence?
1564	''Is it wrong then, Sir, to affect singularity, in order to make people stare?''
1564	''Is not a good garden a very common thing in England, Sir?''
1564	''Is not modesty natural?''
1564	''Is not the Giant''s- Causeway worth seeing?''
1564	''Is there not less religion in the nation now, Sir, than there was formerly?''
1564	''It is for fear of something that he has resolved to kill himself; and will not that timid disposition restrain him?''
1564	''Langton is a good Cumae, but who must be Sibylla?
1564	''May not he think them down, Sir?''
1564	''May we not take it as amusing fiction?''
1564	''Might not Mrs. Montagu have been a fourth?''
1564	''Must we then go by implicit faith?''
1564	''Nay, Madam, what right have you to talk thus?
1564	''Nay, Sir, how can you talk so?
1564	''Nay, Sir, how can you talk so?''
1564	''Nay, Sir, what talk is this?''
1564	''Nay, but my dear Sir, why should not you see what every one else sees?''
1564	''Nay,( said I, meaning to laugh with him at one of his prejudices,) ca n''t you say, it is not WORTH mapping?''
1564	''No, Sir, do YOU read books through?''
1564	''No, Sir; there will always be some truth mixed with the falsehood, and how can it be ascertained how much is true and how much is false?
1564	''Nor for being a Scotchman?''
1564	''Once he asked Tom Davies, whom he saw drest in a fine suit of clothes,"And what art thou to- night?"
1564	''Pray, Boswell, how much may be got in a year by an Advocate at the Scotch bar?''
1564	''Pray, Mr. Dilly, how does Dr. Leland''s History of Ireland sell?''
1564	''Pray, Sir, can you trace the cause of your antipathy to the Scotch?''
1564	''Pray, Sir, did you ever play on any musical instrument?''
1564	''Pray, Sir, have you been much plagued with authours sending you their works to revise?''
1564	''Pray, Sir, is not Foote an infidel?''
1564	''Pray, Sir, is the Turkish Spy a genuine book?''
1564	''Pray, Sir, what did he say was the appearance?''
1564	''Pray, Sir, what has he made of his story of a ghost?''
1564	''Pray, Sir,( said he,) whether do you reckon Derrick or Smart the best poet?''
1564	''Richardson?''
1564	''Shall I ask him?''
1564	''Should it not be, Sir, lashed the ocean and chained the winds?''
1564	''Should not he provide amusements for himself?
1564	''Should you not like to see Dublin, Sir?''
1564	''Sir, do you think him as bad a man as Voltaire?''
1564	''So then, Sir, you do not think ill of a man who wins perhaps forty thousand pounds in a winter?''
1564	''So then, Sir, you would allow of no irregular intercourse whatever between the sexes?''
1564	''So, Sir, though he sees an enemy to the state charging a blunderbuss, he is not to interfere till it is fired off?''
1564	''Such as Carte''s History?''
1564	''The idolatry of the Mass?''
1564	''The worship of Saints?''
1564	''Then, Sir, a poor Turk must be a Mahometan, just as a poor Englishman must be a Christian?''
1564	''Then, Sir, what is poetry?''
1564	''Then, Sir, you would not shoot him?''
1564	''Was he a scoundrel, Sir, in any other way than that of being a political scoundrel?
1564	''Was not Dr. John Campbell a very inaccurate man in his narrative, Sir?
1564	''Was there not a story of his ghost having appeared?''
1564	''Well, Sir, and what then?
1564	''Well, Sir: do we not know that a maid can in one afternoon make pickles sufficient to serve a whole family for a year?
1564	''Well, my boy, how do you go on?''
1564	''Were there not six horses to each coach?''
1564	''What did you say, Sir?''
1564	''What do they make me say, Sir?''
1564	''What do you mean by damned?''
1564	''What do you mean, Sir?
1564	''What do you think of Dr. Young''s Night Thoughts, Sir?''
1564	''What is that to the purpose, Sir?
1564	''What say you to Lord------?''
1564	''What then is the reason for applying to a particular person to do that which any one may do as well?''
1564	''What would you have me retract?
1564	''What''s the matter?''
1564	''What, Sir, a fellow who claps a hump on his back, and a lump on his leg, and cries"I am Richard the Third"?
1564	''What, Sir, a good book?''
1564	''What, Sir, is nothing gained by decoration and action?
1564	''What, Sir, will you allow no value to beauty in architecture or in statuary?
1564	''What, Sir, would you know what it is to feel the evils of old age?
1564	''What, Sir,''asks the hapless Boswell,''will sense make the head ache?''
1564	''What, Sir,( cried the gentleman,) do you say to"The busy day, the peaceful night, Unfelt, uncounted, glided by?"''
1564	''What, Sir,( said I,) are you going to turn Captain Macheath?''
1564	''What, by way of a companion, Sir?''
1564	''What,( said Elphinston,) have you not read it through?''
1564	''What?
1564	''Why do you wish that, Sir?''
1564	''Why should you write down MY sayings?''
1564	''Why then meet at table?''
1564	''Why then, Sir, did he talk so?''
1564	''Why then, Sir, did you go?''
1564	''Why then,( I asked,) is it thought disgraceful for a man not to fight, and not disgraceful not to speak in publick?''
1564	''Why was you glad?
1564	''Why yes, Sir; but what is that to the merit of the composition?
1564	''Why, Sir, did you go to Mrs. Abington''s benefit?
1564	''Why, Sir, do people play this trick which I observe now, when I look at your grate, putting the shovel against it to make the fire burn?''
1564	''Why, Sir, what does this prove?
1564	''Why, then, Sir, did you leave it off?''
1564	''Why, who are before him?''
1564	''Why, yes, Sir; and what then?
1564	''Will you not admit the superiority of Robertson, in whose History we find such penetration-- such painting?''
1564	''Will you not allow, Sir, that he draws very natural pictures of human life?''
1564	''Worth seeing?
1564	''Would not you have a pleasure in teaching it?''
1564	''Would you eat your dinner that day, Sir?''
1564	''Would you restrain private conversation, Sir?''
1564	''Would you teach this child that I have furnished you with, any thing?''
1564	''Yet Cibber was a man of observation?''
1564	''You have read his apology, Sir?''
1564	''You would not like to make the same journey again?''
1564	( said Dodsley) do you think a letter from Johnson could hurt Lord Chesterfield?
1564	( said Johnson, smiling,) what would you give to be forty years from Scotland?''
1564	( to Harris,)''Pray, Sir, have you read Potter''s Aeschylus?''
1564	( to Johnson,)''And what think you, Sir, of it?''
1564	( turning to me,)''I ask you first, Sir, what would you do if you were affronted?''
1564	--''But, Sir, you will allow that some players are better than others?''
1564	--''Have you, Sir?
1564	--''Is not HARMLESS PLEASURE very tame?''
1564	--''What with Mr. Wilkes?
1564	A book may be good for nothing; or there may be only one thing in it worth knowing; are we to read it all through?
1564	Am I to be HUNTED in this manner?''
1564	And as for the good worthy man; how do you know he is good and worthy?
1564	And as to meanness,( rising into warmth,) how is it mean in a player,--a showman,--a fellow who exhibits himself for a shilling, to flatter his Queen?
1564	And do n''t you think the magistrate would have a right to prevent you?
1564	And have you ever seen Chatsworth?
1564	And is it thus, Sir, that you presume to controvert what I have related?''
1564	And was Sheridan to assume to himself the right of giving that stamp?
1564	And what do you think of his definition of Excise?
1564	And what merit is there in that?
1564	And who would feed with the poor that can help it?
1564	As we were moving slowly along in the crowd from church, Johnson jogged my elbow, and said,''Did you attend to the sermon?''
1564	Beauclerk, how came you to talk so petulantly to me, as"This is what you do n''t know, but what I know"?
1564	Because a man can not be right in all things, is he to be right in nothing?
1564	Because a man sometimes gets drunk, is he therefore to steal?
1564	Besides, Sir, what damages would a jury give me for having been represented as swearing?''
1564	Both Mr.***** and I have reason to take it ill. You may talk so of Mr.*****; but why do you make me do it?
1564	But WHERE, I might with great propriety have added, can I find such?
1564	But does not imagination make it much more important than it is in reality?
1564	But how can you shew civilities to a nonentity?
1564	But the question was, who should have the courage to propose them to him?
1564	But was not Lord Coke a mere lawyer?''
1564	But what a man is he, who is to be driven from the stage by a line?
1564	But when will you get the value of two hundred pounds of walls, in fruit, in your climate?
1564	But who is without it?''
1564	But, Sir, how can you do this in three years?
1564	Did he cheat at draughts?''
1564	Did he mean tardiness of locomotion?
1564	Did his gaiety extend farther than his own nation?''
1564	Did you never observe that dogs have not the power of comparing?
1564	Did you see?''
1564	Dilly''s?''
1564	Do I know history?
1564	Do I know law?''
1564	Do I know mathematicks?
1564	Do n''t you consider, Sir, that these are not the manners of a gentleman?
1564	Do n''t you know that it is very uncivil to PIT two people against one another?''
1564	Do we not judge of the drunken wit, of the dialogue between Iago and Cassio, the most excellent in its kind, when we are quite sober?
1564	Do you know the history of his aversion to the word transpire?''
1564	Do you really think HIM a bad man?''
1564	Do you remember our drinking together at an alehouse near Pembroke gate?
1564	Do you respect a rope- dancer, or a ballad- singer?''
1564	Do you think I am so ignorant of the world as to imagine that I am to prescribe to a gentleman what company he is to have at his table?''
1564	Does not Lord Chesterfield give precepts for uniting wickedness and the graces?
1564	For why should not Dr. Johnson add to his other powers a little corporeal agility?
1564	Garrick overhearing him, exclaimed,''eh?
1564	Has he a right to do so?
1564	Have I said anything against Mr.*****?
1564	Have you no better manners?
1564	He asked me, I suppose, by way of trying my disposition,''Is not this very fine?''
1564	He is quite unsocial; his conversation is quite monosyllabical: and when, at my last visit, I asked him what a clock it was?
1564	He made two or three peculiar observations; as when shewn the botanical garden,''Is not EVERY garden a botanical garden?''
1564	He may tell you, he holds his finger in the flame of a candle, without feeling pain; would you believe him?
1564	He might answer,"Where is all the wonder?
1564	He then addressed himself to Davies:''What do you think of Garrick?
1564	He then began to descant upon the force of testimony, and the little we could know of final causes; so that the objections of, why was it so?
1564	He then called to the boy,''What would you give, my lad, to know about the Argonauts?''
1564	He then repeated some ludicrous lines, which have escaped my memory, and said,''Is not that GREAT, like his Odes?''
1564	He was of a club in Old- street, with me and George Psalmanazar, and some others: but pray, Sir, was he a good taylor?''
1564	His Lordship however asked,''Will he write the Lives of the Poets impartially?
1564	How are you to get all the etymologies?
1564	How can a man write poetically of serges and druggets?
1564	How did they fight the fight that I am to fight, and how in any case did they lose or win?
1564	How did they play the game?
1564	How many friendships have you known formed upon principles of virtue?
1564	How shall we determine the proportion of intrinsick merit?
1564	How, then, have others managed, both those who failed and those who succeeded, or those, in far greatest number, who did both?
1564	I am very ill even when you are near me; what should I be were you at a distance?''
1564	I could now tell why I should not write; for who would write to men who publish the letters of their friends, without their leave?
1564	I here brought myself into a scrape, for I heedlessly said,''Would not YOU, Sir, be the better for velvet and embroidery?''
1564	I proceeded:''What do you think, Sir, of Purgatory, as believed by the Roman Catholicks?''
1564	I took down Thomson, and read aloud a large portion of him, and then asked,--Is not this fine?
1564	I was once present when a gentleman asked so many as,''What did you do, Sir?''
1564	I was persuaded that if I had come upon him with a direct proposal,''Sir, will you dine in company with Jack Wilkes?''
1564	I will appeal to the world; and how will your judgement appear?"
1564	I will not be baited with WHAT, and WHY; what is this?
1564	I, however, would not have it thought, that Dr. Taylor, though he could not write like Johnson,( as, indeed, who could?)
1564	If a bull could speak, he might as well exclaim,--Here am I with this cow and this grass; what being can enjoy greater felicity?''
1564	If one man in Scotland gets possession of two thousand pounds, what remains for all the rest of the nation?''
1564	In such a state as ours, who would not wish to please the Chief Magistrate?''
1564	In your Preface you say,"What would it avail me in this gloom of solitude?"
1564	Is it not, as it were, committing voluntary suicide?''
1564	Is it not, to a certain degree, a delusion in us as well as in women?''
1564	Is not he rather an OBTUSE man, eh?''
1564	Is not that trim?
1564	Is not this enough for you?
1564	Is not this the state of life?
1564	Johnson was at first startled, and in some heat answered,''How can your Lordship ask so simple a question?''
1564	Johnson, in a tone of displeasure, asked him,''Why do you praise Anson?''
1564	Johnson, offended at being thus pressed, and so obliged to own his cursory mode of reading, answered tartly,''No, Sir, do YOU read books THROUGH?''
1564	Johnson, upon this, seemed much agitated; and, in an angry tone, exclaimed,''Why will you vex me by suggesting this, when it is too late?''
1564	Johnson?''
1564	Madam; who is the worse for being talked of uncharitably?
1564	May I enquire after her?
1564	Miss Adams mentioned a gentleman of licentious character, and said,''Suppose I had a mind to marry that gentleman, would my parents consent?''
1564	Miss---- was an instance of early cultivation, but in what did it terminate?
1564	Mr. Burney asked him then if he had seen Warburton''s book against Bolingbroke''s Philosophy?
1564	My dear Sir, you surely will not rank his compilation of the Roman History with the works of other historians of this age?''
1564	No matter where; wise fear, you know, Forbids the robbing of a foe; But what, to serve our private ends, Forbids the cheating of our friends?''
1564	Now what harm does it do to any man to be contradicted?''
1564	Now, what is the concoction of a play?''
1564	Oldfield?"
1564	Or what more than to hold your tongue about it?
1564	Perfect obligations, which are generally not to do something, are clear and positive; as,"thou shalt not kill?''
1564	Peyton,--Mr. Peyton, will you be so good as to take a walk to Temple- Bar?
1564	Place me in the heart of Asia, should I not be exiled?
1564	Pray now( throwing himself back in his chair, and laughing,) are you ever able to bring the SLOE to perfection?''
1564	Pray what do you mean by the question?''
1564	Pray what have you heard?''
1564	Pray, Sir, had you ever thought of it?''
1564	Priestley?"
1564	Robertson?''
1564	Shall the Presbyterian KIRK of Scotland have its General Assembly, and the Church of England be denied its Convocation?''
1564	She and I are good friends now; are we not?''
1564	Sir William Forbes said,''Might not a man warmed with wine be like a bottle of beer, which is made brisker by being set before the fire?''
1564	Sir, you may analyse this, and say what is there in it?
1564	Sir,( said I,) In caelum jusseris ibit?''
1564	Smile with the simple;--What folly is that?
1564	Suppose they have more knowledge at five or six years old than other children, what use can be made of it?
1564	Suppose you and I and two hundred more were restrained from printing our thoughts: what then?
1564	Suppose you teach your children to be thieves?''
1564	TO DR. BROCKLESBY, he writes, Ashbourne, Sept. 9:--''Do you know the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire?
1564	The attempt, indeed, was dangerous; for if it had missed, what became of Garrick, and what became of the Queen?
1564	These Voyages,( pointing to the three large volumes of Voyages to the South Sea, which were just come out) WHO will read them through?
1564	They would all have some people under them; why not then have some people above them?''
1564	Though firmly convinced of the truth of his doctrine, may he not think it wrong to expose himself to persecution?
1564	Towards the conclusion of his Taxation no Tyranny, he says,''how is it that we hear the loudest YELPS for liberty among the drivers of negroes?''
1564	Upon which his Lordship very gravely, and with a courteous air said,''Pray, Sir, is it true that you are taking lessons of Vestris?''
1564	WHO can repeat Hamlet''s soliloquy,"To be, or not to be,"as Garrick does it?''
1564	WHO is ruined by gaming?
1564	Was Charles the Twelfth, think you, less respected for his coarse blue coat and black stock?
1564	We have physicians now with bag- wigs; may we not have airy divines, at least somewhat less solemn in their appearance than they used to be?''
1564	What Frenchman is prevented from passing his life as he pleases?''
1564	What can you tell of countries so well known as those upon the continent of Europe, which you have visited?''
1564	What care I for his PATRIOTICK FRIENDS?
1564	What do you take me for?
1564	What has the Duke of Bedford?
1564	What has the Duke of Devonshire?
1564	What have they to do at an University who are not willing to be taught, but will presume to teach?
1564	What have you to do with Liberty and Necessity?
1564	What is CLIMATE to happiness?
1564	What is a friend?
1564	What proportion does climate bear to the complex system of human life?
1564	What proportion would that restraint upon us bear to the private happiness of the nation?''
1564	What says Johnson?"
