8. There is apparently no copy of _A Critical Review_ in the Bodleian. 9. In his Introduction to a recent reprint (New York, 1965) of John Rae's _Life of Adam Smith_ (1895), Jacob Viner (who expresses his indebtedness to "Herman W. Liebert for bringing _A Critical Review_ to my attention and for warning me that J. T. Callender, its author, was probably also the author of _Deformities of Dr. Samuel Johnson_") concludes that the quotation from John Callander in _A Critical Review_ is sufficient "to acquit John Callander of any responsibility for authorship of either _Deformities of Samuel Johnson_ or _A Critical Review_" (p. 68; see also pp. 62-69). 10. William P. Courtney and D. Nichol Smith, _A Bibliography of Samuel Johnson_ (Oxford, 1915; reissued with facsimiles, 1925), p. 136. 11. _Life_, IV, 499. Callender's letter itself, reproduced in the _R. B. Adam Library_ (III, 48), is now in the Hyde Collection. Dr. Powell, like Robert Anderson, says that James Thomson Callender was a nephew of the poet James Thomson, and gives the _DNB_ as the source of his information. 12. In 1962, one of the present writers, J. E. Congleton, published an article on "James Thomson Callender, Johnson and Jefferson" (_Johnsonian Studies_ [Cairo, 1962], pp. 161-172) which forms the basis of a part of the present introduction. 13. _Life_, III, 106, 107, 214, 488. 14. _Ibid._, III, 106. 15. _Ibid._, IV, 252-253, 526. 16. The work appeared well before 28 March 1782 when Johnson referred to it in the letter of Boswell cited above in note 6. In the _Life_ (IV, 148), Boswell remarks that he had previously "informed" Johnson "that as 'The Beauties of Johnson' had been published in London, some obscure scribbler had published at Edinburgh, what he called 'The Deformities of Johnson.'" 17. On p. 63, Callender calls the work "a shilling pamphlet." We are grateful to the Pierpont Morgan Library for a photographic reproduction of its copy of the first edition of the _Deformities_. 18. Since its Preface is dated 21 November 1782, the second edition was presumably published after that time but before the beginning of 1783. 19. At the end of the second edition, Callender declares: "To collect every particle of _inanity_ which may be found in our _patriot's_ works is infinitely beyond the limits of an eighteen-pence pamphlet" (p. 88). 20. In a footnote on p. 51, Callender tells us that the "remarks" of the "judicious friend" appear in No. 12 of the _Weekly Mirror_, a periodical which, according to the _CBEL_ (II, 665, 685), was published at Edinburgh from 22 September 1780 through 23 March 1781, for a total of 26 numbers; the editor was apparently James Tytler, the publisher J. Mennons. BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTE The text of this facsimile reprint of the second edition of Callender's _Deformities_ (1782) is published with the kind permission of the University of Chicago Library.
