I doubt whether Dodsley s brother would thank a man who should write his life, yet Dodsley himself was not unwilling that his original low condition should be recollected. When Lord Lyttelton s <i>Dialogues of the Dead </i>came out, one of which is between Apicius, an ancient epicure, and Dartineuf, a modern epicure, Dodsley said to me, I knew Dartineuf well, for I was once his footman. <b>Samuel Johnson</b>, from Boswell s <i>Life of Johnson</p></i>
