Joseph Warton, the Rev.

BOSWELL. Mr. (afterwards Sir) William Jones wrote in 1780(_Life_, p. 241):--'Of our club I will only say that there is no branchof human knowledge on which some of our members are not capable ofgiving information. ' [341] Here, unluckily, the windows had no pullies; and Dr. Jo...hnson, whowas constantly eager for fresh air, had much struggling to get one ofthem kept open. Thus he had a notion impressed upon him, that thiswretched defect was general in Scotland; in consequence of which he haserroneously enlarged upon it in his _Journey_. I regretted that he didnot allow me to read over his book before it was printed. I should havechanged very little; but I should have suggested an alteration in a fewplaces where he has laid himself open to be attacked. I hope I shouldhave prevailed with him to omit or soften his assertion, that 'aScotsman must be a sturdy moralist, who does not prefer Scotland totruth, ' for I really think it is not founded; and it is harshly said.
