I DR.. JOHNSON HIS RELIGIOUS LIFE AND
HIS DEATH, Q2mo. PIP. 4O3, is collection of facts
and incidents in the life of the great morast, illus
trative ofhis religious opinions and habits, and c1m
piled with great industry, and for the most part
with good judgment, by an indefatigable English
amateur Of Johnsonisna. He has made free use of
all previous sources Of information, and without
laying any claim to original discovery. has arranged
the great mass of facts on the subject in lucid
and attractive method, which gives his work GER
tsin air of novelty, and makes it both instructive
and agreeable reading. The continuity of the mar.
rative is sometimes interrupted by his tendency to
indulge in episodes the name Of az eminent au.
thor or a suggestive historical fact, often leading
him away from his path into the the field Of excur-
sive speculation. With this exception the work
will be found to possess highly attractive charac-
ter, forming a pleasant addition to the already
rich biographical treasures concerning the daant-
less old literary hero. (NewYork; Harper X
