The Commonplace Book of William Byrd II of Westover

Hester Thrale was a family friend of Dr. Johnson, and her account makes it plain she was a lot less enamored of the Great Man than Boswell was. Johnson may have had an impressive mind, but he was often unbearable to deal with as a person, according to Thrale.
