ADDENDA
Last summer Messrs. Sotheby and Wilkinson sold some very
interesting autograph letters written by Johnson to William Strahan, the
printer.
I was fortunate enough to find that the purchasers, with but one
exception, were mindful of what Boswell so well describes as 'the
general courtesy of literature[1],' and were ready to place their treasures
at my service. To one of them, Mr. Frederick Barker, of 43, Rowan
Road, Brook Green, I am still more indebted, for he entrusted me not
only with the original letters which he had just bought, but also with
some others that he had previously possessed. His Johnsonian
collection is one of unusual interest. I have moreover to acknowledge
my obligations to Mr. Fawcett, of 14, King Street, Covent Garden; to
Messrs. J. Pearson and Co., of 46, Pall Mall; to Messrs. Robson and
Kerslake, of Coventry Street, Haymarket; to Mr. Frank T. Sabin, of 10
and 12, Garrick Street, Covent Garden; and to Mr. John Waller, of 2,
Artesian Road, Westbourne Grove. Those of the letters which are
undated, I have endeavoured to assign to their proper places by internal
evidence. The absence of a date is in itself very strong evidence that
they belong to a comparatively early period (see ante, i. 122, n. 2).

with Bathurst's Proposal; dated March 22, probably written in

'SIR,
'I have inclosed the Scheme which I mentioned yesterday in which the
work proposed is sufficiently explained.

'The Undertaker, Mr. Bathurst, is a Physician of the University of
Cambridge, of about eight years standing, and will perform the work in
such a manner as may satisfy the publick. No advice of mine will be
wanting, but advice will be all that I propose to contribute unless it
should be thought worth while that I should write a preface, which if
desired I will do and put my name to it. The terms which I am
commissioned to offer are these:
'1. A guinea and half shall be paid for each sheet of the copy.
'2. The authour will receive a Guinea and half a week from the date of
the Contract.
'3. As it is certain that many books will be necessary, the Authour will
at the end of the work take the books furnished him in part of payment
at prime Cost, which will be a considerable reduction of the price of the
Copy; or if it seems as you thought yesterday no reduction, he will
allow out of the last payment fifty pounds for the use of the Books and
return them.
'4. In two months after his first demand of books shall be supplied, he
purposes to write three Sheets a week and to continue the same
