George Box
Biography
Birth: n/a
Death: n/a
Sometime secretary to the Society of Arts in London (from at least 1757 until 1766, possibly much longer).
Life with James Boswell
Boswell called on Mr. Box in London on November 28, 1762, to get out of having to pay for his membership of the Society of Arts. He successfully argued that, as he had been in Scotland since his admittance to the society in 1760, he might as well never have been a member, and therefore should not pay anything. He described Box as "a very civil man". He also thought that Mr. Box, being collector for the society, was "admirably named".
