One of the company not being come at the appointed hour . . . Goldsmith, to divert the tedious minutes, strutted about bragging of his dress, and I believe was seriously vain of it, for his mind was wonderfully prone to such impressions. ‘Well, let me tell you,’ said he, ‘ when my tailor brought home my bloom-coloured coat, he said, Sir, I have a favour to beg of you, when anybody asks you who made your clothes, be pleased to mention John Filby, at the Harrow, in Water Lane.’ ”—See Boswell’s Life of Johnson. 16 in. by 24^ in.
