DID BOSWELL MAKE JOHNSON etis

The Association at which last week Lord Balfour, and Mr. Leo Maxsé debat ed whether golf is a blessing of a curse has since discussed the almost equally interesting question--Did Boswell make Johnson without, unfortunatel swering it one way or another. We say unfortunately, because it would be really interesting to have an authoritative amative reply. Boswell was a hun- dred per cent, Scot, though nobody would call him a typical Scot. Probably every expounder of literature who bas ever written on Johnson bas described him as "the typical Englishman." Wera it once established that Johnson was made by Boswell it would be catablished at the Kame time. that the typical Englishman! was the creation of a Scottish mind. For
