In The Dr Johnson Library, the works of Samuel Johnson are restored to the ear: essays, poems, tales, criticism, and meditations on the frailty and dignity of mankind. Here the listener may accompany a mind grave without gloom, learned without pedantry, and moral without cant; a companion for hours of solitude, study, reflection, and honest amusement.Public domain

    In which the perilous dominion of imagination is examined as a common frailty of the human mind, revealing how solitary reveries may seduce reason and ensnare the spirit in fancied felicities or woes. The discourse closes with an encounter with an aged sage, whose reflective melancholy tempers the expectations of youth and intimates the sober tranquillity that may await the declining years.
