## Description

The  *Rambler*  was a British essay periodical edited and principally written by Samuel Johnson.  A total of 208 issues were  published  from 1750-1752, on Tuesdays and Saturdays.  Essay periodicals were a lot like 21st century blogs, in that  each issue was  written  by a  single person, on whatever topic struck his/her fancy.  The *Rambler* was more serious than  some other essay periodicals, and  was not a  great commercial success on first publication. It discussed  various subjects  including  morality, literature, society, politics, and religion.

The *Rambler*  has been reprinted many times,  because it represents the  finest writing  of one of the greatest 18th century English prose stylists.  Samuel Johnson is  more often quoted than any other English author except Shakespeare.
