Elizabeth Johnson (died 1752)
Elizabeth Johnson ("née" Jervis; 1689 – 17 March 1752), familiarly known as "Tetty", was the widow of Birmingham merchant Henry Porter, and later the wife of English writer Samuel Johnson, whom she predeceased.
Samuel Johnson
Samuel Johnson (18 September 1709 – 13 December 1784), often referred to as Dr Johnson, was an English writer who made lasting contributions to English literature as a poet, playwright, essayist, moralist, literary critic, biographer, editor, and lexicographer.
He was a devout Anglican.
Politically, he was a committed Tory.
The "Oxford Dictionary of National Biography" describes Johnson as "arguably the most distinguished man of letters in English history".
He is the subject of James Boswell's "The Life of Samuel Johnson", described by Walter Jackson Bate as "the most famous single work of biographical art in the whole of literature".
Born in Lichfield, Staffordshire, Johnson attended Pembroke College, Oxford, for just over a year, but a lack of funds forced him to leave.
After working as a teacher, he moved to London, where he began to write for "The Gentleman's Magazine".
His early works include the biography "Life of Mr Richard Savage", the poems "London" and "The Vanity of Human Wishes", and the play "Irene".
After nine years of work, Johnson's "A Dictionary of the English Language" was published in 1755.
It had a far-reaching effect on Modern English and has been acclaimed as "one of the greatest single achievements of scholarship".
This work brought Johnson popularity and success.
Until the completion of the "Oxford English Dictionary" 150 years later, Johnson's was the pre-eminent British dictionary.
His later works included essays, an influential annotated edition of "The Plays of William Shakespeare", and the widely read tale "The History of Rasselas, Prince of Abissinia".
In 1763, he befriended James Boswell, with whom he later travelled to Scotland; Johnson described their travels in "A Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland".
Towards the end of his life, he produced the massive and influential "Lives of the Most Eminent English Poets", a collection of biographies and evaluations of 17th- and 18th-century poets.
Johnson was a tall and robust man.
His odd gestures and tics were disconcerting to some on first meeting him.
Boswell's "Life", along with other biographies, documented Johnson's behaviour and mannerisms in such detail that they have informed the posthumous diagnosis of Tourette syndrome, a condition not defined or diagnosed in the 18th century.
After a series of illnesses, he died on the evening of 13 December 1784, and was buried in Westminster Abbey.
In the years following his death, Johnson began to be recognised as having had a lasting effect on literary criticism, and he was claimed by some to be the only truly great critic of English literature.

Place of birth
The place of birth( POB) or birthplace is the place where a person was born.
This place is often used in legal documents, together with name and date of birth, to uniquely identify a person.
As a general rule with respect to passports, the place of birth is determined to be the country that currently has" sovereignty" over the actual place of birth, regardless of when the birth actually occurred.
The place of birth is not necessarily the place where the parents of the new baby live.
If the baby is born in a hospital in another place, that place is the place of birth.
In many countries, this also means that the government requires that the birth of the new baby is registered in the place of birth.
Some countries place less or no importance on the place of birth, instead using alternative geographical characteristics for the purpose of identity documents.
For example, Sweden has used the concept of" födelsehemortdomicile of birth") since 1947.
This means that the domicile of the baby's mother is the registered place of birth.
The location of the maternity ward or other physical birthplace is considered unimportant.
Similarly, Switzerland uses the concept of" Heimatortlieu d'origineluogo d'origineplace of origin" in German, French and Italian respectively).
A child born to Swiss parents is automatically assigned the place of origin of the parent with the same last name, so the child either gets their mother's or father's place of origin.
A child born to one Swiss parent and one foreign parent acquires the place of origin of their Swiss parent.
In a Swiss passport and identity card, the holder's place of origin is stated, not their place of birth.
In some countries( primarily in the Americas), the place of birth automatically determines the nationality of the baby, a practice often referred to by the Latin phrase" jus soli".
Almost all countries outside the Americas instead attribute nationality based on the nationality( ies) of the baby's parents( referred to as" jus sanguinis").
There can be some confusion regarding the place of birth if the birth takes place in an unusual way: when babies are born on an airplane or at sea, difficulties can arise.
The place of birth of such a person depends on the law of the countries involved, which include the nationality of the plane or ship, the nationality( ies) of the parents and/ or the location of the plane or ship( if the birth occurs in the territorial waters or airspace of a country).
Some administrative forms may request the applicant's" country of birth".
It is important to determine from the requester whether the information requested refers to the applicant's" place of birth" or" nationality at birth".
For US citizens born abroad who under the US Constitution acquire US citizenship at the time of birth, the nationality at birth will be USA( American), while the place of birth would be the country in which the actual birth takes place.
