  ### INTRODUCTION
  
  
  
  
  
    
  Mrs. Piozzi, by her second marriage, was by her first marriage the
  
  
  Mrs. Thrale in whose house at Streatham Doctor Johnson was, after the
  
  
  year of his first introduction, 1765, in days of infirmity, an
  
  
  honoured and a cherished friend. The year of the beginning of the
  
  
  friendship was the year in which Johnson, fifty-six years old,
  
  
  obtained his degree of LL.D. from Dublin, and—though he never called
  
  
  himself Doctor—was thenceforth called Doctor by all his friends.
  
  
    
  Before her marriage Mrs. Piozzi had been Miss Hesther Lynch
  
  
  Salusbury, a young lady of a good Welsh family. She was born in the
  
  
  year 174O, and she lived until the year 1821. Sh
