Johnson then said, 'It was his business to COMMAND his temper, as my friend, Mr. Beauclerk, should have done some time ago. BEAUCLERK. 'I should learn of YOU, Sir. JOHNSON. 'Sir, you have given ME opportunities enough of learning, when I have been in YOUR company.
Beauclerk one day repeated to Dr. Johnson Pope's lines, "Let modest Foster, if he will, excel Ten metropolitans in preaching well:" Then asked the Doctor, "Why did Pope say this?" JOHNSON. 'Sir, he hoped it would vex somebody. 'Dr. Goldsmith, upon occasion of Mrs. Lennox's bringing out a play , said to Dr.
I must send this one and trust to your generosity. I am wholly to blame, wholly in the wrong. I am no actress but I have been acting a part the part of a happy woman. My effort has deceived many Papa, Mamma, and, I believe, you among them. Dear Beauclerk, you will think me ungrateful, false, weak. I don't excuse myself. As I have said, the blame is all mine, and the punishment must be all mine.
He had been recently sobered, so Comyn confided; which I afterwards discovered meant married. Charles Fox's word for the same was fallen. And I remembered that Jack had told me it was to visit Lady Carlisle at Castle Howard that Dorothy was going when she heard of my disappearance. Comyn's other guest was Mr. Topham Beauclerk, the macaroni friend of Dr. Johnson.
Beauclerk is just returned from Brighthelmston, I am told, much better. Mr. Thrale and his family are still there; and his health is said to be visibly improved; he has not bathed, but hunted . 'At Bolt-court there is much malignity, but of late little open hostility . I have had a cold, but it is gone. 'Make my compliments to Mrs. Boswell, &c. 'I am, Sir, 'Your humble servant,
Do not you with your refining head go, and, out of excessive friendship, find out something to destroy my system. I had rather be a philosopher than a rich man; and yet have so little philosophy, that I had much rather be content than be in the right. Mr. Beauclerk and Lady Di have been here four or five days so I had both content and exercise for my philosophy.
On Friday, March 24, I met him at the LITERARY CLUB, where were Mr. Beauclerk, Mr. Langton, Mr. Colman, Dr. Percy, Mr. Vesey, Sir Charles Bunbury, Dr. George Fordyce, Mr. Steevens, and Mr. Charles Fox. Before he came in, we talked of his Journey to the Western Islands, and of his coming away 'willing to believe the second sight, which seemed to excite some ridicule.
The Duchess was Lord Alfred's sister, and of course she was going. 'I usually keep engagements when I make them, Mr Lupton, said the Duchess. She had been assured by Lord Alfred not a quarter of an hour before that everything was as straight as a die. Lord Alfred had not then even heard of the rumour. But ultimately both Lionel Lupton and Beauchamp Beauclerk attended the dinner.
Then it was decided that Mr Beauclerk should speak a word to Lord Alfred. The rich man and the poor man were cousins, and had always been intimate. 'Alfred, said the chosen mentor at the club one afternoon, 'I wonder whether you couldn't say something to Melmotte about his manner. Lord Alfred turned sharp round and looked into his companion's face. 'They tell me he is giving offence.
Burke was a snob, though an inspired one. Dr. Johnson, the friend of that wretchedest of lewd fellows, Richard Savage, and of that gay man about town, Topham Beauclerk, himself sprung from an amour that would have been disgustful had it not been royal, must also have felt something more in respect of Rousseau than the mere repugnance of virtue for vice.
