'But philosophers and satirists have all treated a miser as contemptible. JOHNSON. 'He is so philosophically; but not in the practice of life. BOSWELL. 'Let me see now I do not know the instances of misers in England, so as to examine into their influence. JOHNSON. 'We have had few misers in England. BOSWELL. 'There was Lowther."
