joHNS0N'S HOME FOR RENT
Opportunity for Adrirer to Live In
House Where Famous Dictionary
Was Compiled.

DR.. Johnson's house in Cough
square is "to let" and these is an
opportunity for an admirer to live
in the place where the dictionary or
most of it was actually compiled.
The doctor resided at Cough
square from 1748 to 1883, and we
know that the dictionary was begun
a year before the first date and pub
lished in 1855. At the top of the
house, which is large one, he had
room fitted up for his five or SIX
assistants, whom he kept constantly
under his eye.
An interleaved copy of Bailey's
dictionary in folio he made the basis
Of his work, and he collected his au-
thorities by incessant reading. his
method being to score with black
lead pencil the words he selected.
The house has many melancholy
memories. Here Johnson's wife died
in 1852 and left him more than ever
q prey to his natural gloom. And
mere he was arrested for a paltry
debt of Is lbs. and taken to a
sponging house in the neighborhood
of Cursitor street.
But it was here also that his
struggles met with their reward, and
when in the last year of his tenancy
Johnson began "The Idler'' he is
described as being in Gas easy and
pleasant a state of existence as con-
stitutional unhappiness ever permit
