Daines Barrington : Observations on the Statutes, chiefly the more ancient, from Magna Charta to 21st James I.
'Soon after the Honourable Daines Barrington had published his excellent "Observations on the Statutes", Johnson waited on that worthy and learned gentleman; and, having told him his name, courteously said, "I have read your book, Sir, with great pleasure, and wish to be better known to you". Thus began an acquaintance, which was continued with mutual regard as long as Johnson lived.'
