Dr Johnson Said ...
Compiled by Margaret Eliot and P G Suarez
£3.50 + P&P
In his lifetime and beyond, Dr Johnson has been famed as the author of the Dictionary of the English Language. However his many wise and witty sayings have made him the second most quoted Englishman after Shakespeare. This book contains a selection of these sayings...
'The true art of memory is the art of attention.'
'Criticism is a study by which men grow important and formidable at very small expense.'
'It is observed that 'a corrupt society has many laws'; I know not whether it is not equally true, that 'an ignorant age has many books.''
