Every man gets amouthful, but no man a bellyful. " Once Strahan said in answer to someabusive remarks, "Well, sir, God made Scotland. " "Certainly, " repliedJohnson, "but we must always remember that He made it for Scotchmen; andcomparisons are odious, Mr. Strahan, but God made hell. " Boswell, therefore, had reason to feel both triumph and alarm when heinduced the great man to accompany him in a Scotch tour. Boswell'sjournal of the tour appeared soon after Johnson's death. Johnson himselfwrote... an account of it, which is not without interest, though it is inhis dignified style, which does not condescend to Boswellian touches ofcharacter. In 1773 the Scotch Highlands were still a little knownregion, justifying a book descriptive of manners and customs, andtouching upon antiquities now the commonplaces of innumerable guidebooks. Scott was still an infant, and the day of enthusiasm, real oraffected, for mountain scenery had not yet dawned. Neither of thetravellers, as Boswell remarks, cared much for "rural beauties.
