The Life Of Johnson V2 is a biography of Samuel Johnson, written by George Birkbeck Hill. The book is a comprehensive account of Johnson's life and achievements, covering his childhood, education, literary career, and personal relationships. It explores his struggles with poverty, illness, and depression, as well as his triumphs as a writer, critic, and lexicographer. The second volume of the book continues where the first left off, delving deeper into Johnson's later years and legacy. Hill draws on a wide range of sources, including Johnson's own writings, letters, and diaries, as well as the recollections of his friends and contemporaries. The result is a vivid and engaging portrait of one of the most influential figures in English literature and culture.And I think too, that a good deal of weight should be allowed to the dying declarations, because they were spontaneous. There is a great difference between what is said without our being urged to it, and what is said from a kind of compulsion. If I praise a man's book without being asked my opinion of it, that is honest praise, to which one may trust. But if an authour asks me if I like his book, and I give him something like praise, it must not be taken as my real opinion.'This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
