Authority Cited: Beattie
Author name and dates: James Beattie (1735-1803)

BKG Bio-tweet: Scotch moral & music philosopher; abolitionist; amateur cellist; poet; “Minstrel” praised by SJ; quoted in 4th ed.

Categories (list of works cited – preliminary) (Beattie citations are in the 1773 Dict. - none in the 1755 Dict.).  [BKG Note: Beattie is the youngest authority first cited in the 1773 Dict.]
  • Essay on Truth; An essay on the nature and immutability of truth, in opposition to sophistry and scepticism. By James Beattie, LL. D. Professor of Moral Philosophy and Logic in the Marischal College and University of Aberdeen. The second edition, corrected and enlarged.  ​Edinburgh : printed for A. Kincaid & J. Bell; and for E. & C. Dilly, in the Poultry, London, 1771. (Th 1st edition of the Essay was 1770.  [BKG Note: The edition that SJ used is uncertain.  Reddick, in The Making of Johnson's Dictionary, 1990, indicates that the Vol. 2 of the 1773 Dict. was likely still being edited in 1772, and that Beattie first met SJ in August of 1771.  However, Reddick also indicates that the Essay was a popular book when issued in 1770.  Reddick is correct that all Beattie quotations are in Dict. Vol. 2. but there is one definition and one etymology that reference Beattie in Dict. Vol.1; these could also have been late editorial additions.]  All of the quotations except under no appear to be from the Essay on Truth and appear under: our (p.74-75, 2nd ed; p.75, 1st ed., p.76 3rd ed (1772); "our soul" appears in the previous sentence in all editions. Reddick on p. 165 has the quote as in the Dictionary); pity (p.477, but inexact quote in all three Essay editions); reality (p.298, but inexact quote in all editions), reject (p.210), relation (p.209), right (p.212); truth (p.210); violate (p.402); warp (p.425, but inexact quote in all editions), weak (p.432), wonderfully (p.301), worth (p.300), wrangler (p.426); yonder (p.298).
  • Minstrel; The minstrel; or, the progress of genius. A poem. Book the first. [James Beattie] London : printed for E. & C. Dilly, in the Poultry, and for A. Kincaid & J. Bell, Edinburgh, 1771; quoted under no: "Poor Edwin was no vulgar boy," p. 10.
  • Beattie (no work cited); in 1773 Dict.: fren (def.); humblebee (etym.) [BKG Note: neither of these was found in the Essay on Truth or Th Minstrel; perhaps a personal communication from Beattie]
