Page 4. Some Account of Mrs. Elizubeth Aston, derived from a Conversation between Dr. Johnson and Miss Seward. Miss Seward. " I have often heard my mother say, Doctor, that Mrs. Elizabeth Aston was, in her youth, a very beautiful woman ; and that, with all the censorious- ness and spiteful spleen of a very bad temper, she had great powers of pleas- ing; that she was lively, insinuating, and intelligent. " I knew her not till the vivacity of her youth had long been extinguished, and I confess I ...looked in vain for the traces of former ability. I wish to have your opinion, M 162 APPENDIX. sir, of what she was, you who knew her so well in her best days. " Dr. Johnson. " My dear, when thy mother told thee Aston was handsome, thy mother told thee truth : she was very handsome. When thy mother told thee that Aston loved to abuse her neigh- bours, she told thee truth ; but when thy mother told thee that Aston had any marked ability in that same abusive business, that wit gave it zest, or imagi- nation colour, thy mother did not tell thee truth.
