From The Life of Samuel Johnson, by James Boswell
JOHNSON'S TEMPER
"... the truth is, that by much the greatest part of his time he was civil, obliging, nay, polite in the true sense of the word; so much so, that many gentlemen who were long acquainted with him never received, or even heard a strong expression from him."
From A. D. 1776 AETAT 67
