Synopsis
Excerpt from Th Essays of Samuel Johnson: Selected From the Rambler, 1750-1752; The Adventurer, 1753; And the Idler, 1758-1760; With Biographical Introduction and Notes
The clerical gossips of a cathedral city found his shop a pleasant lounge, and Michael Johnson seems to have been able to hold his own with the best of them. In a small way he aspired to the dignity of a publisher, and stray volumes may even yet be occasionally picked up with his name on the title-page. With the citizens at large he stood well, and after holding several minor appointments, his character and public spirit won emphatic recognition by his election to the office of chief magistrate in 172 5. AS for Mrs. Johnson, notwithstanding the failings Of training and temperament which fell to her share, she was unquestionably a woman of firm religious principle, and the upward bias which She gave to her Child's life in twilight whispers in a little room at the top of the house was never afterwards lost. Whatever devo tion the good woman displayed towards her boy was repaid a hundredfold by him in after years. Nothing, even in a singularly noble life, was more touching and beautiful than the reverent loyalty with which Johnson cherished his widowed mother.
