Ia 1775 Sir Joshua Reynolds painted that portrait of his friend. Dr. John son, which represents him as reading and nearsighted. This was very dis pleasing to Johnson, who, when he ; saw it, reproved Sir Joshua for paint- ing him in that manner and attitude, j saying. "It is not friendly to hand down to posterity the imperfections of any man." But, on the contrary. Sir Joshua himself esteemed it a circum stance in nature to be remarked as characterizing the person represented and therefore as giving additional value to the portrait. Of this circumstance Mrs. Thrale says, "I observed that he would not be known by posterity for his defects only, let Sir Joshua do his worst," and when she adverted to Sir Joshua's own picture painted with the ear trum pet and done In this year for Mr. Thrale, she records Johnson to have answered. "He may paint himself as deaf as he chooses, but I will not be blinking Sam."
