Anecdotes of Johnson is a book written by Hesther Lynch Piozzi, which is a collection of stories and personal experiences with Samuel Johnson, a prominent literary figure of the 18th century. The book is a fascinating account of Johnson's life, character, and habits, as seen through the eyes of Piozzi, who was a close friend of Johnson. The anecdotes are presented in a conversational style, providing insights into Johnson's wit, wisdom, and eccentricities. The book covers a wide range of topics, from Johnson's literary works to his personal life, including his relationships with other writers, his views on religion, politics, and society. The anecdotes are both entertaining and informative, making the book a valuable resource for anyone interested in the life and times of Samuel Johnson.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.
