Johnson: His Characteristics and Aphorisms (Classic Reprint)1kg Limited, 22 mar 2018 - 364 Excerpt from Johnson: His Characteristics and Aphorisms Thus it is we purpose to portray johnson, in tellectually and socially; to reproduce him exactly as he was in the study, in the street, in the club, and at the dinner-table; which, with all due re spect to his innumerable biographers, has never yet been done. If Boswell, the prince of bio graphers, has over-rated him, Lord Macaulay, on the other hand, has under-rated him, as was natural for an enthusiastic Whig to do in writing the life of an inveterate Tory.
