It is divided into sections, such as 'Johnson and His God.' Astute editorial comments.
Note his last testament: certain books and sums of money left to various people but most of his estate went to his loyal servant, Francis Barber, a Negro born in Jamaica.
Chronological table, who-s who, but no index.
