Evidence: | '[Mr Charles Burney] had been so much delighted with Johnson's "Rambler" and the "Plan" of his "Dictionary", that when the great work was announced in the newspapers as nearly finished, he wrote to Dr Johnson, begging to be informed when and in what manner his "Dictionary" would be published; intreating, if it should be by subscription, or he should have any books at his own disposal, to be favoured with six copies for himself and his friends'. |
