Dr. Johnson. Mr. Burke. Dr. Goldsmith.
Mr. Murphy. Mr. Garrick. Mr. Baretti.
Sir Robert Chambers, and Sir Joshua Reynolds himself.
All painted in the highest style of the great master, who much
delighted in this his Streatham gallery.
There was place left but for one more frame, when the acquaintance with
Dr. Burney began at Streatham; and the charm of his conversation and
manners, joined to his celebrity in letters, so quickly won upon the
master as well as the mistress of the mansion, that he was presently
selected for the honour of filling up this last chasm in the chain of
Streatham worthies. To this flattering distinction, which Dr. Burney
always recognized with pleasure, the public owe the engraving of
Bartolozzi, which is prefixed to the History of Music.
