1756. An Abridgement of his Dictionary. acknowl. Several Essays in the Universal Visiter, which there is some

Asterisks have been ascribed to him, although I am con-

these "The Life of Chaucer," "Reflections on the State
of Portugal," and "An Essay on Architecture:" And from
the same Evidence I am confident that he wrote "Further
Thoughts on Agriculture," and "A Dissertation on the
State of Literature and Authours." The Dissertation on
the Epitaphs written by Pope he afterwards acknowledged,
and added to his "Idler."

Mr. Jonas Hanway having written an angry Answer to the
Review of his Essay on Tea, Johnson in the same Col-
lection made a reply to it. acknowl. This is the only
Instance, it is believed, when he condescended to take
Notice of any Thing that had been written against him;
and here his chief Intention seems to have been to make
sport.
