I always hissed away the charge, supposing him a man of honour; but I shall now defend him with less confidence. Baretti, in a marginal note, says that C L is 'Charlotte Lennox. Perhaps stands for Cumberland. Miss Burney said that 'Mr. Cumberland is notorious for hating and envying and spiting all authors in the dramatic line. Mme. D'Arblay's Diary, i. 272. See ante, i. 255.

Macbeth, act i. sc. 3. According to Murray's Handbook, ed. 1867, p. 308, no part of the castle is older than the fifteenth century. See post, Nov. 5. The historian. Ante, p. 41. See ante, iii. 336, and post, Nov. 7. See post, Oct. 27. Baretti was the Italian. "Pray, Sir," said Johnson, "do you know who was the author of the Lord's Prayer?"

I mentioned, that Mr. Beauclerk had said, that Baretti, whom they were to carry with them, would keep them so long in the little towns of his own district, that they would not have time to see Rome. I mentioned this, to put them on their guard. JOHNSON. 'Sir, we do not thank Mr. Beauclerk for supposing that we are to be directed by Baretti. No, Sir; Mr. Thrale is to go, by my advice, to Mr.

The poor Doctor would have been happy to hear of this. Baretti says, he is the first man that ever received copy-money in Italy . I said that I would endeavour to do what Dr. Johnson suggested; and I thought that I might write so as to venture to publish my History of the Civil War in Great-Britain in 1745 and 1746 without being obliged to go to a foreign press . When we arrived at Derby, Dr.

Cholmondeley, the sayer of odd things, and Seward, much given to yawning, and Baretti, who slew the man in the Haymarket, and Paoli, talking broken English, and Langton, taller by the head than any other member of the club, and Lady Millar, who kept a vase wherein fools were wont to put bad verses, and Jerningham, who wrote verses fit to be put into the vase of Lady Millar, and Dr.

I mentioned this, to put them on their guard. JOHNSON. 'Sir, we do not thank Mr. Beauclerk for supposing that we are to be directed by Baretti. No, Sir; Mr. Thrale is to go, by my advice, to Mr.

Against this Baretti has written in the margin: 'Johnson never grieved much for anything. His trade was wisdom. See ante, ii. 94. See ante, iii 19. Mr. Croker gives a reference to p. 136 of his edition. Turning to it we find an account of Johnson, who rode upon three horses. It would seem from this that, because John=Jack, therefore Johnson=Jackson. Mr.

Gregory challenges you for an Iceland expedition; but I trust there is no need; I suppose good eyes might reach it from some of the places you have been in. Piozzi Letters, i. 188. Johnson wrote to Baretti: 'I wish you had staid longer in Spain, for no country is less known to the rest of Europe. Ante, i. 365. He twice recommended Boswell to perambulate Spain. Ante, i. 410, 455. 'Dr.

Thrale's friends Baretti, Burke, Burney, Chambers, Garrick, Goldsmith, Johnson, Murphy, Reynolds, Lord Sandys, Lord Westcote, and in the same picture Mrs. Thrale and her eldest daughter. Mr. Thrale's portrait was also there. Dr. Burney's Memoirs, ii. 80, and Prior's Malone, p. 259. Pr. and Med. p. 214.

Thrale's, he found the coach was at the door waiting to carry Mrs. and Miss Thrale, and Signor Baretti, their Italian master, to Bath . This was not shewing the attention which might have been expected to the 'Guide, Philosopher, and Friend , the Imlac who had hastened from the country to console a distressed mother, who he understood was very anxious for his return.
