May happiness aaa good
health be yours through-
out this Christmas season.

It is always fascinating to read
somebody ele’s . diary, « and
when that somebody happens: to
be a great biographer like James
Boswell, we hardly expect to be
disappointed.

Nor are we. Take down Bos-
well's “London Journai’’ “from
the shelf at_the Castlegar Public
Library; take it home and: bury
your.nose in its 370 pages ‘of 18th,
century London Hfe and “you
should emerge somewhat stimu-
lated thereby.

When it appeared three years
ago this .volume, the first of
three to appear annually, was

.j acclaimed for its vivid and il-

| Scotland,

luminating picture of the life
and manners of the mid-eight-
_eenth cent

The self-portrait of the young
Laird of Auchinleck, fresh from
his native heath, depicts minute-

- ly the impact of a gay brilliant

Georgian ‘London on the ambi-
tious but rather. naive author.
Boswell of’ course; was Scottish.
Now being a Scot was more
outlandish. taken in his day than
it is in ours, and-led to some
impasses that we find amusing.
Perhaps the most celebrated ex-
ample of ‘this phobia was ‘the
remark of Dr. Johnson on being
told by Boswell at their first
~meeting that he ‘from.
‘but’ “could noe ‘Help’ it”.
“Sir”, replied Johnson, "that
is what a very great. many. of
your countrymen’ cannot help.”
Such an,unfortunate state. of
affairs was, however, soon cir-
cumvented by the amiable char-
acter. and natural grace of the
young man and he quickly be-

footguazds and was one of the
brightest wits in the court of
George the Third”.

IRONIC FAME

Fame he got but it is ironic.
We think of Boswell today when
we think of him at all, as the
biographer “ot Dri Johnson, Bos-
well, the ‘man of action, the of-
ficer of thé guards, the Jand-
seape gardener and the member
of Parliament, only exists in the
fanciful pages of his Journal,
In his Journal, Boswell. deals
naturally enough wth the life of ;
Boswell and even immortal John-
son gets barely a look in: How-
ever if we are interested, we will
find a gem of Johnsoniana here
and there.

Take this as fine fuel to. add
to the fires of “Women’s Rights”
that have been blazing elsewhere
in this paper. “Mr. Johnson. said
today that a woman's preaching
was like a dog's walking on his
hind legs. It was not done well,
