Prayers and Meditations 
Samuel Johnson 


The prayers and meditations of Samuel Johnson, published posthumously 
by George Strahan to whom Johnson had entrusted the manuscripts. 
Johnson had been writing these down for over forty years. They often show 
him at his most repentant, melancholy and fragile -- and the book was 
controversial because of it -- but they also show the goodness, sense and 
strength which has always characterised this great man. - Summary by
