*[To this List of the Writings of Dr. Johnson, Mr. Alexander Chalmers, with considerable probability, suggests to me that we may add the following:

In the Gentleman's Magazine.

Vol. 20. p. 404.

1750. Address to the Publick, concerning Miss Williams's Miscellanies. Vol. 20. p. 428.

1753. Preface.

Notice of Mr. Edward Cave's death, inserted in the last page of the Index.

In the Literary Magazine.

1756. "Observations on the foregoing letter;" i. e. A letter on the American Colonies. Vol. I. p. 66. M.]

Such was the number and variety of the Prose Works of this extraordinary man, which I have been able to discover, and am at liberty to mention; but we ought to keep in mind, that there must undoubtedly have been many more which are yet concealed; and we may add to the account, the numerous Letters which he wrote, of which a considerable part are yet unpublished. It is hoped that those persons in whose possession they are will favour the world with them. JAMES BOSWELL.

"After my death I wish no other herald,
No other speaker of my living actions,
To keep mine honour from corruption,
But such an honest chronicler as Griffith."*

SHAKSPEARE, Henry VIII.

* See Dr. Johnson's letter to Mrs. Thrale, dated Ostick in Skie, September 30, 1773 :- "Boswell writes a regular Journal of our travels, which I think contains as much of what I say and do, as of all other occurrences together; "for such a faithful chronicler is Griffith."
