Excerpt from Literary Remains Edward Lewis Johnson, Esq.: Private Circulation The father of edward lewis johnson was the late edward johnson, Esq., who for a long series of years filled the Office of Chief Clerk in the Private Bill department of the House of Commons, and died in 1841. The son was born on the 24th Of December, 1802, and during his early education gave some signs of that taste for study and the acquisition of languages which afforded him rich and rare enjoyment in after years. Before he was sixteen he had made such judicious use of his time, as to induce his father to employ the interest hepossessed with some branches of the Government in procuring for the youth a clerkship in the Report office of the Court of Chancery; a situation the duties of which he continued to discharge, under circumstances of im proving income and increased responsibility, until the period of his decease.
