"I love to exhibit sketches of my illustrious friend by various eminent hands."
Boswell's Life of Dr. Johnson 1, 296.

"He descended from his station to take notice of mine; and he honoured me with
repeated marks of his favour and protection. How warmly, in return, I was attached
to his person, and how I have been grateful to his memory, they, who know me, know.
I admired him as a great, illustrious, faulty, human being, whose character, like all the
noblest works of human composition, should be determined by its excellencies, not by its
defects." Sir Philip Francis's Speech, Febr. 12, 1787.
