HIS POWER OF REPARTEE.

Here are some examples OF his prompt
repertee, taken from the centenary edi-
ton OF Roswelrs biography, published
by Sturgis & Walton:
johnson once expressed his disapproba-
tion OF ornamental architecture. such as
magnificent columns supporting a poruco
or expensive pilasters supporting merely
labor disproporuOnate 10 It's utility" For
the same reason he satirized statuary.

sembles a man. The value OF statuary is
owing 10 its difficulty. You would not value
the finest head cut upon a carrot"
When asked why he should allow value
20 beauty In writing, in fine illusions,
allow value 70 beauty in architecture,
johnson smiled with cOmplacency and said,
why. sir all these ornaments are useful.
because they obtain an easier reception for
truth; but a building is not all the more
convenient for being decorated with super
nuouS carved work.
