Excerpt from Life of Dr. Adam Smith
There may have been biographers who have carried their passion for detail and minute anecdote somewhat too far, but even in such cases we feel it is rather ungrateful to condemn them; and we might take the very extreme of this class, even Boswell himself, with all his faults, and almost challenge the world to pro duce another book of biography of equal interest with the Life of Johnson.
