Lennox's "Female Quixotte." intern. evid.

This he wrote for Mr. Zachariah Williams, an ingenious ancient Welch Gentleman, father of Mrs. Anna Williams, whom he for many years kindly lodged in his House. It was published with a Translation into Italian by Signor Baretti. In a Copy of it which he presented to the Bodleian Library at Oxford, is pasted a character of the late Mr. Zachariah Williams, plainly written by Johnson. intern. evid.

1756. An Abridgement of his Dictionary. acknowl.
Several Essays in the Universal Visiter, which there is some
difficulty in ascertaining. All that are marked with
two Asterisks have been ascribed to him, although
I am confident, from internal Evidence, that we should
except from these "The Life of Chaucer," "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 Agri-
culture," and "a Dissertation on the State of Lite-
rature and Authours." The Dissertation on the Epi-
taphs written by Pope he afterwards acknowledged,
and added to his "Idler."

Christian Morals. acknowl.

Byng, by a gentleman of Oxford." acknowl.

Mr. Jonas Hanway having written an angry Answer to the
Review of his Essay on Tea, Johnson in the same
Collection made a reply to it. acknowl. 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.
