text_original: Long years before George the Third was born, a struggling, unsuccessful schoolmaster gave up a school that was well nigh given up by its scholars and came to London to push his fortune as a man of letters. When George the Third came to the throne the schoolmaster had not found fortune  that he never found  but he had found fame, and the name of Samuel Johnson was known and loved wherever an English word was spoken or an English book read.
