Arblay, Mme Frances (Burney) d'. Dr Johnson & Fanny Burney;
being the Johnsonian passages from the works of Mme d'Arblay, with
introduction and notes by C. B. Tinker. 1911. Moffat.
"It would be hard to find an aspect of Dr. Johnson's life which shows him in a more
wholly charming light than do his relations with Fanny Burney. His deep and delicate
affection for the prim little blue-stocking.. .illustrates, in the most touching manner
possible, that infinite capacity for friendship which was Johnson's supreme genius. As
Professor Tinker points out in the exceedingly able introduction with which he has
prefaced his collection of Johnsonian references in the Burney diaries, it is in this
faculty for unbounded personal enthusiasm, with its often misguided complement of dislike,
that the secret of Johnson's reputation is to be found." Spectator, 1012.
