Before we take to sea we walk on land,
Before we create we must understand.

Ahoy, everyone!
(My, this hall has a mighty big echo :-))
Its good to see a Lecture Hall devoted to the
writings of one of my favorite authors. My advice to
you? Don't read Boswell's Life of Johnson until
after you have read Johnson's major works.
What are they? Well, there's Relas: The wisest
and saddest book in all literature, with the sole
exception of Ecclesiastes. The Rambler Essays. One of
whichm, on the importance of planning and the dangers
of sloth, was written in haste while the printer's boy
was waiting at the door. His Dictionary was the first
English dictionary in the modern sense. In fact, the
OED was intended as a revision of Johnson's Dictionary.
There's also "London", an imitation of one of the odes of
I think it was Juvenal.
My library is currently (28 September 1997) in
storage, but, I can try to introduce as many of you as
I can to this truly great writer.
I'll put a link to my homepage at the bottom here.
Its not much, but I'm still learning the art of HTML
and web page design.
