Excerpt from Johnsoniana Anecdotes of the Late Samuel Johnson Johnson evidently received Dr. Campbell's advances with kindness and courtesy; and that the acquaintanceship ripened into regard is shown by the fact, that when Dr. Campbell, in 1778, published his Philosophical Survey of the South of Ireland, Johnson gave for publication in it his Epitaph on Gold smith, then in manuscript, but afterwards inscribed on the monument in Westminster Abbey. The discovery of this Diary has also done much to dispel the ludicrous confusion of the Irish Dr. Campbell with a flashy friend of Mrs. Thrale's, for it shows decisively that when Mrs. Thrale wrote of this friend (doubtless Mr. Musgrave) from Bath, in May, 1776, Dr. Campbell was not at Bath, but in Ireland.
