Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of the Late Thomas Holcroft, Written by Himself, Vol. 3 of 3: And Continued to the Time of His Death, From His Diary, Notes and Other Papers Should I hereafter find time, some of his pranks, as part of the history of the human mind, might be, worth recording. Sastres, an Italian, mentioned by Boswell in his Life of Johnson, was at the fruit shop. I asked him if he knew Boswell. The name excited his indignation; he spoke of Boswell as a proud, pompous, and selfish blockhead, who obtruded himself upon every one, and by his impudent anxiety lost what would otherwise have been willingly granted. As an instance, Johnson did not once mention him in his will, after their pretended intimate and sincere friendship; while S - himself had that honour. This account did, but confirm the internal evidence of Boswell's own book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
