"The Club": A Book Review
"The Club: Johnson, Boswell, and the Friends Who Shaped an Age," by Leo Damrosch
Among the members of the club, who met on Friday evenings at Turk's Head Tavern, 9 Gerard Street, off the Strand, besides Samuel Johnson, were Edmund Burke, Adam Smith and several other intellects of 18th-century London. Even if you will never read the book, the review by Joseph Epstein is fascinating in and of itself.
