Johnson Without Boswell
Edited By Hugh KingSmiH.

Edited by Hugh KingSmtH.
Ne1U York: Alfred A. Knopt.
This is, as its title promises john
son without Boswell. 1t is called
also "a contemporary portrait" and
it consists partly of JohnSon'S own
letters and partly of excerpts from
writings about him by other asso-
ciateS of his than his famous blog-
rapher. But, though Boswell is thus
excluded, nothing could better vim
dicate his treatment of his subject
than such a collection. for the
identical johnson of his Life"
stands forth in it unchanged in any
particular. johnson Without BoS-
we'll in other words. only confirms
johnson by Boswell. Or, if you pre-
fer it so, johnson confirms john
son-the personality of the great
photographer is apparently an in
diSSoluble solid, defying time, re-
search or analysis to make it other
than, in its day. it seemed to be.
If, however, the present book adds
nothing to the established concept
of its subject, it has the benefit of
a selectivity which a life history
cannot allow. 1t does not attempt
to cover the whole of the doctors
career. 1t proceeds, instead, by
giving us vignettes, little revealing
pictures, and it chooses these from
JohnsonS private life rather than
from his public. The book, there
fore. has an intimate and personal
quality. Yet, of course, johnson was
always personal, in public or in pri-
vate. and so the choice becomes
merely a method of procedure after
all
The work takes enough from
Johnson'S childhood to make us re-
member that the great man was not
always literary dictator in a huge
wig, enough about his strange mar
riage to make us realize that it
was a happy one, enough about
his manners. irrascibilities, inde-
pendence, ill-health, friendships,
occasional Incidence and melancholy
to bring him once more to the
fore of our minds. What more can
one say? There is he, in the ranks
of human personalities an unchang-
ing mountain peak.
The arrangement of the material
is by time-childhood, youth, Lon
don days and life after the receipt
of the Kings pension. The writer's

include Sir John Hawkins, Hannah
More, Mrs. Thrale (also known, in
her later life, as Mrs. PiozzD, Anna
Seward, Arthur Murphy, Fanny
Burney, Sir Joshua Reynolds, Miss
Reynolds, DR.. Thomas Campbell and
yet others. There are also many

published writings. NC. r.

Dagger of the Mind
By Kenneth Fearing.
York. Random House.

OTh. huUuOW HOuSS.
This is murder mystery of the
kind which aspires to be little
more than murder mystery. That
is to say, 1t Is crime made, to a slight
degree at least, literary. 1t gives us
from its setting very de luxe art
lists colony in the neighborhood of
New York City, and for a cast of
characters the assorted poets, paint
ers, composers, sculptors, novelists
and the like which make up the COL
ony'S quota of guests. One of these
guestS-a CRITICS found stabbed to
death.
Now Mr.. Fearing refrains from
saying at this point that there is no
reason at all why critics murder
should be regarded with surprise,
particularly when the critic is sur
rounded almost completely by art
lists. Instead, he produces the usual
mechanism for investigation, a cap
tain of the State police. But be-
yond this he does not stick with the
routine mystery techniques. He tells
nothing at all of what anybody does,
but gives us a series of SolilOquieS,
in which those involved express their
reactions to the killing and the
killed. The method is successful.
You do not seek to question why,
but go on reading. And you are suf-
ficiently interested not to notice un-
til you put the thing down that,
after all, nothing really gets ex-
planned. Why the crime was COM
mitted, how the police captain
guessed the killer, and why the
killer confessed-these are points
simply left hanging. But the book
is good reading, amusing though I'M
subtle satire on the artistic tenn
permanent, and so, one supposes, a
few little omissions do not really
matter very much. NC. r.
