A Century of Anecdote from 1760-1860, Vol. 2 of 2 (Classic Reprint)
Description:... Excerpt from A Century of Anecdote From 1760-1860, Vol. 2 of 2 Savage, who lived much with Thomson, told Johnson he heard a lady remarking that she could gather from his (thomson's) works three parts of his character - that he was a great lover, a great swimmer, and rigorously abstinent! But, said Savage, he knows not any love but that of the sex, he was perhaps never in cold water in his life, and he indulges himself in all the luxury that comes within his reach.
