=12= 2, 8, 10. =Juvenal.= Dryden has translated five of the poems of this great Roman satirist. It is worth while to compare Johnson's _London_, a free imitation of the Third Satire, with Dryden's version. Johnson's poem may be found in Hales's _Longer English Poems_. =12= 19. Boswell, too, asks us to remember Pope's candor and liberal conduct on this occasion. Let us not forget it. =13= 8. =Psalmanazar.= Pretending to be a Japanese, this Frenchman wrote what he called a _History of Formosa_. Although fabulous, it deceived the learned world. =13= 14-15. =blue ribands.= Worn by members of the Order of the Garter. =13= 16. =Newgate.= The notorious London prison. =13= 26. =Piazza= here has its first meaning,--"an open square in a town surrounded by buildings or colonnades, a plaza." This space was once the "convent" garden of the monks of Westminster. For a brief sketch of it down to the time its "coffee houses and taverns became the fashionable lounging-places for the authors, wits, and noted men of the kingdom," see _The Century Dictionary_. =14= 11-12. =Grub Street.= "Originally the name of a street in Moorfields in London, much inhabited by writers of small histories, dictionaries, and temporary poems; whence any mean production is called _grubstreet_. 'I'd sooner ballads write, and _grubstreet_ lays.' Gay." --Johnson's _Dictionary_, edition of 1773. =14= 23. =Warburton.= Bishop Warburton thus praised Johnson in the Preface to his own edition of _Shakspere_, and Johnson showed his appreciation by saying to Boswell, "He praised me at a time when praise was of value to me." On another occasion, when asked whether he considered Warburton a superior critic to Theobald, he replied, "He'd make two-and-fifty Theobalds, cut into slices!" Johnson's sketch of him, in the _Life of Pope_, Boswell calls "the tribute due to him when he was no longer in 'high place,' but numbered with the dead." =14= 28-31. He employed six amanuenses, not a large number of assistants for a task of such magnitude. Nor was the sum of fifteen hundred guineas a generous one from which to pay these assistants. =14= 33. =Chesterfield.= Every young man should read an abridged edition of Chesterfield's _Letters to his Son_; for example, the volume in the Knickerbocker Nugget Series. It contains much that is worth remembering, and the style is entertaining.
