Life with James Boswell
Boswell met him on October 11, 1762, at Springkell, describing him as "an apothecary, a true-looking Englishman with a round-cut head and leather breeches, a jolly dog who sung us a song that the boy sings who sweeps Drury-Lane stage before the chandles are lighted..." Later on in the same entry Boswell described him as my friend Dr. Coulthard suggesting that they knew each other well.
