Excerpt from Muel Johnson, His Words and His Ways: What He Said, What He Did, and What Men Thought and Spoke Concerning HimIN youth - Miss Porter told me that when he was first introduced to her mother his appearance was very forbid ding, he was then lean and lank, so that his immense struct ure of bones was hideously striking to the eye, and the scars of the scrofula were deeply visible. He also wore his hair, which was straight and stiff, and separated behind, and he often had, seemingly, convulsive starts and odd gesticula tions, which tended to excite at once surprise and ridicule. -boswell.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
