Life of Johnson, Volume 1 by James Boswell (http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/8918)

[559] 'Johnson hardly ever spoke of Bathurst without tears in his eyes.' Murphy's _Johnson_, p. 56. Mrs. Piozzi, after recording an anecdote that he had related to her of his childhood, continues:--'"I cannot imagine," said he, "what makes me talk of myself to you so, for I really never mentioned this foolish story to anybody except Dr. Taylor, not even to my dear, dear Bathurst, whom I loved better than ever I loved any human creature; but poor Bathurst is dead!" Here a long pause and a few tears ensued.' Piozzi's _Anec_., p. 18. Another day he said to her:--'Dear Bathurst was a man to my very heart's content: he hated a fool, and he hated a rogue, and he hated a Whig; he was a very good hater.' _Ib_. p. 83. In his _Meditations on Easter-Day_, 1764, he records:--'After sermon I recommended Tetty in a prayer by herself; and my father, mother, brother, and Bathurst in another.' _Pr. and Med_., p. 54. See also _post_, under March 18, 1752, and 1780 in Mr. Langton's _Collection_.
