FOR THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE. *Preface.

1755. A DICTIONARY, with a Grammar and History of the ENGLISH LANGUAGE, acknowl.

An account of an Attempt to ascertain the Longitude at Sea, by an exact Theory of the Variations of the Magnetical Needle, with a Table of the Variations at the most remarkable cities in Europe, from the year 1660 to 1780, acknowl. This he wrote for Mr. Zachariah Williams, an ingenious ancient Welsh gentleman, father of Mrs. Anna Williams, whom he for many years kindly lodged in his house. It was published with a translation into Italian by Signor Baretti. In a copy of it, which he presented to the Bodleian Library at Oxford, is pasted a character of the late Mr. Zachariah Williams, plainly written by Johnson, intern. evid.

1756. An Abridgement of his Dictionary, ackn. Several Essays in the Universal Visitor,

which there is some difficulty in ascertaining. All that are marked with two asterisks have been ascribed to him, al. though I am confident, from internal evidence, that we should except from these "The Life of Chaucer," "Reflections on the State of Portugal," and "An Essay on Architecture." And from the same evidence I am confident that he wrote "Further Thoughts on Agriculture" and "A Dissertation on the State of Literature and Authours." The Dissertation on the Epitaphs, written by Pope, he afterwards acknowledged, and added to his "Idler." Life of Sir Thomas Browne, prefixed to a new edition of his Christian Morals, acknowl.

In the LITERARY MAGAZINE, or UNIVERSAL REVIEW, which began in

January, 1756, his ORIGINAL ESSAYS
are,

The Preliminary Address, intern. evid.
An Introduction to the Political State of
Great Britain, intern. evid.

Mr. Jonas Hanway having written an an-
gry Answer to the Review of his Essay
on Tea, Johnson, in the same collection,
made a reply to it, acknowl. This is
the only instance, it is believed, when
he condescended to take notice of any
thing that had been written against him;
and here his chief intention seems to
have been to make sport.

Such was the number and variety of the prose works of this extraordinary man, which I have been able to discover, and am at liberty to mention 1; but we ought to keep in mind, that there must undoubtedly have been many more which are yet concealed; and we may add to the ac count, the numerous letters which he wrote, of which a considerable part are yet unpublished. It is hoped that those persons, in whose possession they are, will favour the world with them.

JAMES BOSWELL.

1 [This is a strange phrase. What work could i have been that Mr. Boswell was not at liberty to mention? That there was some peculiar meaning here can hardly be doubted. It perhaps may allude to some publications of a jacobite tendency, written in Johnson's earlier days, and which may have been acknowledged in confidence to Boswell; but this is a mere conjecture. Many of the articles inserted in the foregoing list on internal evidence (particularly those from the magazines) are of very little importance and of very doubtful authenticity.-ED.]
