Samuel Johnson Quotes
The Judgments Which Johnson Passed On Books Were, In His Own Time, Regarded With Superstitious Veneration, And, In Our Time, Are Generally Treated With Indiscriminate Contempt. They Are The Judgments Of A Strong But Enslaved Understanding. The Mind Of The Critic Was Hedged Round By An Uninterrupted Fence Of Prejudices And Superstitions. Within His Narrow Limits, He Displayed A Vigour And An Activity Which Ought To Have Enabled Him To Clear The Barrier That Confined Him.
