Description
Excerpt from Mrs. Piozzi's Thraliana: With Numerous Extracts Hitherto Unpublished
There are two authorities for Dr. Johnson's conversations and especially for his conversations at Streatham who have a claim to be considered by the side of Boswell. These are Miss Burney afterwards Madame D'Arblay, and Mrs. Thrale afterwards Mrs. Piozzi. Yet, I suppose, that Boswell has been read by fifty persons for every reader of Madame D'Arblay's Diary, and that Madame D'Arblay has been read by at least fifty for every faithful student who has read Mrs. Piozzi's books or the two Volumes published in 1861 by Mr. Abraham Hayward in which Mrs. Piozzi obtains a full hearing, and in which were first published extracts from "Thraliana." There were two editions of Mr. Hayward's work published in 1861. In the first a large slice of "Thraliana" is inserted en masse, and not properly incorporated with the work.
