Beschreibung
Beschreibung:Concerns the charges of fraud against Lauder, who had accused Milton of plagiarism in his 'Essay on Milton's use and imitation of the Moderns'. "[Samuel] Johnson dictated to the culprit [Lauder] a confession, published as 'A letter to the Reverend Mr. Douglas, occasioned by his Vindication of Milton' in which he acknowledged his fraud, but had the effrontery to append to it 'testimonies concerning Mr. Lauder' and a disingenuous postscript." (Courtney & Smith, A Bibliography of Samuel Johnson, p.37)
