of violent manners, to make one in a genteel party at our house one
evening. ‘He is,’ said she, ‘like fire and water, useful, but not to be
brought into company.’”

“Dr. Grant asked if Mr. Macadam of Craigengellan had but one daughter.
I said he had properly speaking but one—one beautiful daughter, the
other poor girl was very ugly. My wife said that it was hard that want
of good looks should make her not be reckoned his daughter; she was
more a daughter on that account, as being more likely to continue with
him.”
APPENDIX.
_Page 52._—In his “Life of Garrick” (Lond., 1868, vol. I., p. 422)
Mr. Percy Fitzgerald presents the following narrative of Boswell’s
appearance at a dinner in Guildhall. The date 1759 assigned to the
occasion is evidently erroneous. It is not improbable that it took
place shortly after the interchange of letters between him and Mr.
Pitt. “The Grocer in London” was probably composed in the manner of the
“Song of the Barber,” quoted at page 36.
“At a Guildhall dinner, when Mr. Pitt was present with Sir Joshua
[Reynolds] and other celebrities, Mr. Boswell contrived to be asked
to sing; then, standing up, he delivered a short speech referring
to himself, in which he said that he had had the good fortune to be
introduced to most of the crowned heads and distinguished characters
in Europe, but with all his exertions had never attained the happiness
of being presented to a gentleman, who was an honour to his country,
and whose talents he held in the highest esteem. All the company
understood the allusion, but Mr. Pitt remained perfectly cold and
impassive. Then Mr. Boswell gave his song, which was a sort of parody
on Dibdin’s ‘Sweet Little Cherub,’ and called ‘A Grocer in London.’
The minister was a member of the Grocers’ guild, and this absurdity
was in his honour. So far this was ludicrous enough, but Boswell,
half volunteering and half pressed by the company, and no doubt much
affected by the wine, sang this song over no less than six times, until
Mr. Pitt’s muscles at length relaxed, and he was obliged to join in the
general roar. Mr. Taylor, who was present, walked home with the author
of the song, and recollected that they roared ‘Grocer of London’ all
through the streets.”
_Pages 49_ and _110_.—Boswell was wont to attend public executions,
both in Edinburgh and London, but the propensity of witnessing such
spectacles was in his mind unassociated with an indifference to
suffering. His love of excitement overcame his natural sympathies, and
obscured his judgment. In June, 1790, he induced Sir Joshua Reynolds to
accompany him to Newgate, to witness the execution of five convicts.
One of these, an old servant of Mrs. Thrale, recognised Boswell among
the crowd, and bowed to him from the scaffold. Some persons having
censured Sir Joshua for being present at such a revolting spectacle, he
justified his procedure in a letter to Boswell. An extract follows:—
“I am obliged to you for carrying me yesterday to see the execution
at Newgate of the five malefactors. I am convinced it is a vulgar
error; the opinion that it is so terrible a spectacle, or that it in
any way implies a hardness of heart or cruelty of disposition, any
more than such a disposition is implied in seeking delight from the
representation of a tragedy. Such an execution as we saw, when there
was no torture of the body, or expression of agony of the mind, but
when the criminals, on the contrary, appeared perfectly composed,
without the least trembling, ready to speak and answer with civility
and attention any question that was proposed, neither in a state of
torpidity nor insensibility, but grave and composed,—I am convinced
from what we saw, and from the report of Mr. Ackerman, that it is a
state of suspense that is the most irksome and intolerable to the human
mind, and that certainty, though of the worst, is a more eligible
state; that the mind soon reconciles itself even to the worst, when
that worst is fixed as fate.... I consider it is natural to desire
to see such sights, and, if I may venture, to take delight in them,
in order to stir and interest the mind, to give it some emotion, as
moderate exercise is necessary for the body.”
_Page 136._—When he was passing through the press his “Tour to the
Hebrides,” Boswell conceived the idea of sitting for his portrait to
Sir Joshua Reynolds. The following letter which he addressed to the
great artist is peculiarly characteristic:—
“MY DEAR SIR,—The debts which I contracted in my father’s lifetime
will not be cleared off by me for some years. I therefore think it
unconscientious to indulge myself in any expensive article of elegant
luxury. But in the meantime you may die, or I may die; and I should
regret very much that there should not be at Auchinleck my portrait
painted by Sir Joshua Reynolds, with whom I have the felicity of
living in social intimacy. I have a proposal to make to you. I am for
certain to be called to the English Bar next February: will you now do
my picture? and the price shall be paid out of the first fees which
I receive as a barrister in Westminster Hall. Or if that fund should
fail, it shall be paid at any rate five years hence by myself or my
representatives. If you are pleased to approve of this proposal, you
signifying your concurrence underneath upon two duplicates, one of
which shall be kept by each of us, will be a sufficient voucher of the
obligation. I ever am, with very sincere regards, my dear sir, your
faithful and affectionate humble servant,
JAMES BOSWELL.
“_London, 7th June, 1785._”
This letter was endorsed by Sir Joshua thus:—“I agree to the above
condition.—London, September 10th, 1785.” Boswell’s portrait, in
_kit-cat_ size, was painted by Sir Joshua some time afterwards. Whether
a price was named or paid does not appear, but it is certain the
biographer and the great painter remained in terms of the closest
friendship. Sir Joshua died in 1792; he bequeathed to Boswell the
sum of £200, to be expended, if he thought proper, in the purchase
of a picture at the sale of his paintings, to be kept for his sake.
Boswell’s portrait by Reynolds is now in the collection of Sir Robert
Peel, Bart. (“Life and Times of Sir Joshua Reynolds,” by C. R. Leslie,
R.A., and Tom Taylor. Lond., 1815, 2 vols.)
