Samuel Johnson (1709-1784), English poet, essayist, critic, journalist, lexicographer, conversationalist, was regarded as one of the outstanding figures of 18th-century life and letters. For it is impossible not to believe that, without Boswell, Johnson for us today would shine like a sun in the heavens whilst Addison sat forgotten in coffee houses. He had a huge, strong athletic build, his appetite was legendary and it is said that he often drank over 25 cups of tea at one sitting.
