This he wrote for Mr. Zachariah Wil-

in his house. It was published with a

1756. An Abridgement of his Dictionary, ackn.
Several Essays in the Universal Visitor,
which there is some difficulty in ascer-
taining. All that are marked with two
asterisks have been ascribed to him, al-
though I am confident, from internal
evidence, that we should except from
these "The Life of Chaucer,'
33 "Re-
flections on the State of Portugal," and
"An Essay on Architecture." And
from the same evidence I am confident
that he wrote "Further Thoughts on
Agriculture" and "A Dissertation on
the State of Literature and Authours."
The Dissertation on the Epitaphs, writ-
ten by Pope, he afterwards acknowl-
edged, and added to his Idler."?

This is the only instance, it is believed, when he condescended to take notice of any thing that had been written against him; and here his chief intention seems to have been to make sport.

1 [This is a strange phrase. What work could it have been that Mr. Boswell was not at liberty to mention ? That there was some peculiar meaning here can hardly of a jacobite tendency, written in Johnson's earlier days, be doubted. It perhaps may allude to some publications and which may have been acknowledged in confidence to Boswell; but this is a mere conjecture. Many of the ar(particularly those from the magazines) are of very little ticles inserted in the foregoing list on internal evidence importance, and of very doubtful authenticity.-ED.]
