my lord,
i have been lately informed, by the proprietor of the uished, is an honour, very little accustomed to favours from the great, i knoe.
ht encouragement, i first visited your lordship, i ht boast myself le vainqueur du vainqueur de la terre; —that i might obtain that regard for ; but i found my attendance so little encouraged, that neither pride nor modesty lected, be it ever so little.
seven years, my lord, have no on my h difficulties, of ht it, at last, to the verge of publication, ement, or one smile of favor. such treatment i did not expect, for i never had a patron before.
the shepherd in virgil gregling for life in the round, encumbers him ations that the public should consider me as o that to a patron, carried on my ation to any favourer of learning, i shall not be disappointed though i should conclude it; if less be possible, that dream of hope, in yself uch exultation，
my lord,
your lordship's most humble,
most obedient servant,
sam. johnson
