In the poem of London, Mr. Boswell was of opinion, that Johnson did not allude to Savage, under the name of Thales, and adds, for his reason, that Johnson was not so much as acquainted with Savage when he wrote his London. About a month, however, before he published this poem, he addressed the following lines to him, through the Gentleman's Magazine, for April, 1738. AD RICARDUM SAVAGE.

Lastly, his well-known attachment to the royal cause drew upon him the repented violence of the parliament troops, who plundered, imprisoned, and abused him, in the most cruel manner.
