This afternoon I was shown pp. 50 and 52 of TIME, Oct. 26, wherein Bishop Stewart of Chicago is referred to not once but twice as "the hawk-nosed George Craig Stewart."

He made some revisions and excisions and his friend Edmond Malone, famed Shakespearean scholar, made more in the interests of elegance, taste, discretion, brevity. Malone also rewrote so extensively that "hardly a paragraph was printed exactly as Boswell wrote it," and Boswell's repeated defense of the Journal, that Johnson himself had seen and approved it, was "gravely misleading...
