Anecdotes of Johnson is a book written by Hesther Lynch Piozzi, which provides a collection of personal stories and anecdotes about the life and character of Samuel Johnson, a prominent literary figure of the 18th century. The book is based on Piozzi's personal interactions with Johnson, as well as her observations of his behavior and conversations with others who knew him. Piozzi's account of Johnson's life is filled with humorous and insightful anecdotes, which offer a unique perspective on the man behind the legend. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in the life and works of Samuel Johnson, as well as those who enjoy reading personal accounts of historical figures.I will relate one thing more that Dr. Johnson said about babyhood before I quit the subject; it was this: That little people should be encouraged always to tell whatever they hear particularly striking to some brother, sister, or servant immediately, before the impression is erased by the intervention of newer occurrences.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.
