1 This is Mr. Boswell's own Index, the
paging being altered to suit the present
edition; and the reader will see that it bears
signs of having been prepared by Mr.
Boswell himself. In the second edition
he made various additions, as well as alte-
rations, which are characteristic in their
way. Thus, "Lord Bute" is changed
into "the Earl of Bute," and "Francis
Barber" into "Mr. Francis Barber."
After Mrs. Macaulay's name he added,
"Johnson's acute and unanswerable re-
futation of her levelling reveries;
after that of Hawkins he put "contra-
dicted and corrected." There are also
various little compliments introduced
where previously he had merely given
the name. Such as "Temple, Mr., the
authour's old and most intimate friend,
p.," &c.; "Vilette, Reverend Mr., his just
claims on the publick;" "Smith, Cap-

" and

tain, his attention to Johnson at Warley-
camp;"
;" "Somerville, Mr., the authour's
warm and grateful remembrance of him;"
"Hall, General, his politeness to John-
son at Warley-camp;" "Heberden, Dr.,
his kind attendance on Johnson." On
the other hand, Lord Eliot's " politeness
to Johnson," which stands in the first
edition, is cut down in the second to the
bald "Eliot, Lord; ' "while "6 Lough-
borough, Lord, his talents and great
good fortune," may have seemed a little
offensive, and was expunged. The Lite-
rary Club was reverentially put in capi-
tals. There are also such odd entries
as" Brutus, a ruffian, p.," &c.

It should be added here, that there are
many slips, both in dates and pages,
scattered through the volumes, most of
which, if not all, have been corrected.
