to turn To the somewhat laudatory
volume about the Cheshire Cheese
which the visitors thereto have the
privilege Of buying and 20 see what
ID has 10 soy. The result is rather
amusing. The tayernB press agent
has 20 admit of course that Boswell
doesn't mention the Cheese but he

biogrnpher did not meet Johnson until
the latter was an old man, or I'm other
words until after he had left on visit
