A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Portrait of the Editor slamented brother-inlaw, and Cowper skinsman, the Rev. Dr. Johnson, (so often referred to in the course of the present work,) being prefixed to this volmne, it may be proper to state, that by the maternal line of the Donnes he was cousin to the Poet, by one remove, which was the reason why he was usually designated as Cowper skinsman, his mother having been the daughter of the Rev. Roger Donne, rector of Catfield, Norfolk, own brother to Cowper smother. His unremitting and watchful care over the poet, for several successive years, and during a period marked by a painful and protracted malady, his generous sacrifice of his time, and of every personal consideration, that he might administer to the peace and comfort of his afilicted friend his affectionate sympathy, and uniform forgetfulness of self, in all the various relations of life these virtues have justly claimed for Dr. Johnson the esteem and love of his friends, and the honourable distinction of being ever identified with the endeared name of Cowper.
