Johnson. Jowett and Johnson had truly many striking points of difference, but they were superficial, or related to those habits which are the result of circumstances rather than an expression of character. Dr. Johnson was a slovenly Bohemian, idle, and often intemperate. Dr. Jowett detested Bohemianism and eccentricity of all kinds, was a model of neatness in his dress, and a pattern of precision in his hours. Johnson bawled, and Jowett chirped : but the mental attitude of the two men towards t...he world and their fellow-creatures 299 RECREATIONS AND REFLECTIONS was the same. Both had the virtue, or the vice, of in- credulity, and the Master of Balliol hesitated as little as the Sage of Fleet Street to give the lie direct to any one whom he disbelieved.
