    For many years, Dr. Samuel Johnson encouraged me to keep a little book where I could jot down anecdotes, observations, unpublished verses, and everything that captured my attention. Now, Mr. Thrale has gifted me a beautifully titled Repository, Thraliana. I am determined to fill it with a delightful mix of thoughts, both old and new. Join us as we delve into the intimate reflections of a remarkable woman, from 1776 to 1809, who was not only a devoted hostess to Dr. Johnson but also a cherished friend to many.
