Nicholas Rowe (1)Besprekingen

From Johnson's letters to Mr. Nichols, the printer of The Livers of the Poets in a note on his Life of Rowe: "This Life is a very remarkable instance of Dr. Johnson's memory. When I received from hi the M.S. he complacently observed that the criticism was tolerably well done, considering that he had not read one of Rowe's' plays for thirty years (Ref. Boswell's LIfe of Johnson, Hill ed. p.36 note 3)."
