The graphical embellishments of the present Vo
I. A whole-length portrait of Johnson, from an original painting in the possession of Mr. Archdeacon Cambridge, the son of the Doctor's friend, Richard Owen Cambridge, Esq., of Twickenham ; and "considered," says the proprietor, " by all who knew him, to be an exact representation of his figure, appearance, and action."
II. A view of the market-place of Lichfield, with the house and shop of Michael Johnson, in which the Doctor was born; and,
III. A copy of a curious drawing, representing the principal visiters at Tunbridge Wells, in 1748; among whom appear Doctor and Mrs. Johnson, Garrick, Speaker Onslow, Lord Chatham, Miss Chudleigh, and several other distinguished individuals. The names of the persons are fac-similes of the hand-writing of Richardson the novelist.
In the Appendix will be found some Notices of Michael Johnson, father of the Doctor; and the whole of the extraordinary Fragment, first published in 1805, under the title of "An Account of the Life of Dr. Samuel Johnson, from his Birth to his Eleventh Year, written by Himself."
