Excerpt
In 1764 and 1765 it should seem that Dr. Johnson was so busily employed with his edition of Shakspeare, as to have had little leisure for any other literary exertion, or, indeed, even for private correspondence[1]. He did not favor me with a single letter for more than two years, for which it will appear that he afterwards apologized.
