In making this abridgement of Boswells Life of Johnson I have omitted most of Boswells criticisms, comments, and notes, all of Johnsons opinions in legal cases, most of the letters, and parts of the conversation dealing with matters which were of greater importance in Boswells day than now. I have kept in mind an old habit, common enough, I dare say, among its devotees, of opening the book of random, and reading wherever the eye falls upon a passage of especial interest. All such passages, I hope, have been retained, and enough of the whole book to illustrate all the phases of Johnsons mind and of his time which Boswell observed. Loyal Johnsonians may look upon such a book with a measure of scorn. I could not have made it, had I not believed that it would be the means of drawing new readers to Boswell, and eventually of finding for them in the complete work what many have already found days and years of growing enlightenment and happy companionship, and an innocent refuge from the cares and perturbations of life. Phillips Brooks once told the boys at Exeter that in reading biography three men meet one another in close intimacy the subject of the biography, the author, and the reader. Of the three the most interesting is, of course, the man about whom the book is written. The most privileged is the reader, who is thus allowed to live familiarly with an eminent man. Least regarded of the three is the author. It is his part to introduce the others, and to develop between them an acquaintance, perhaps a friendship, while he, though ever busy and solicitous, withdraws into the background.
