Excerpt from Autobiography Letters and Literary Remains of Mrs. Piozzi (Thrale), Vol. 1 of 2: Edited With Notes and an Introductory Account of Her Life and Writings Dr. Johnson has been hailed by acclamation the literary colossus of an epoch when the galaxy of British authorship sparkled with the names of Hume, Robertson, Gibbon, Warburton, the Wartons, Fielding, Richardson, Smollett, Gray, Goldsmith, and Burke. Any one of these may have surpassed the great lexicographer in some one branch of learning or domain of genius; but as a man of letters, in the highest sense of the term, he towered pre-eminent, and his superiority to each of them (except Burke) in general acquirements, intellectual power, and force of expression, was hardly contested by his cotemporaries. To be associated with bis name has become a title of distinction in itself; and some members of his circle enjoy, and have fairly earned, a peculiar advantage in this respect. In their capacity of satellites revolving round the sun of their idolatry, they attracted and reflected his light and heat.

Not illustrated. 1861 edition. Excerpt: ...between Nelson's pious letter and their vile agent's blasphemous proclamation. I hear our warrior's father is a clergyman... how must his and L.ady Nelson's hearts leap for joy! "Have you seen the death of a charming girl in the papers, whose long and severe sufferings interest all her friends, and have half broken her sweet mother's heart! Maria Siddons! more lamented, I do think, than virtue, value, and science all combined would be. But she had youthful beauty; and to that quality our fond imaginations never fail to affix softness of temper and a gentle spirit, every charm resident in female minds. You are very happy, however, my dear Sir, as fine things as we ladies are, to have two boys for purpose of protecting your one girl. Brothers are a vast advantage to young women, and save them from a thousand embarrassments when they would not permit (in these illuminated days) a parent's hand to be of any use to them. "I am ashamed. 'Tis this moment struck into my head that by dear Nelson's pious ancestor you mean the admirable writer of the Feasts and Faste. I had no notion they were any way related, but reading over your kind letter again 'tis plain it must be so. "You will think me as stupid as Lord Carlisle's cook, who begged permission to examine the library one day, because, says he, I have been told when a child about Nelson's feasts and fasts... and 'tis time to read it in earnest, and fix upon some good receipts. This is a fact." "No. 43, Great Pultney Street, Bath, "Fryday, 11th Jan. 1799. "Home is the place for happiness, though leaving it a moment produces pleasure; and dear Mr. Gray will not be found deserting his post, or slumbering on his stand, should the call of enquiry sound forth.
