THE  magnum  opus,  the  'Life  of  Johnson/  was  now
launched.  The  date  of  the  dedication  to  Sir  Joshu*
Reynolds  is  the  20th  April,  1791.  This  and  the
'  Advertisements'  to  the  two  editions  of  the  Work  are
curiously  self-complaisant,  notwithstanding  the  occa-
sional evil  forebodings  which  harassed  the  Biographer.
