"Incidis in Scyllam"

MR. C. FORBES says he "should be sorry this fine old proverb should be passed over with no better notice than seems to have been assigned to it in Boswell's *Johnson*," and then he quotes some account of it from the *Gentleman's Magazine*. I beg leave to apprise MR. FORBES that there is no notice whatsoever of it in Boswell's *Johnson*, though it is introduced (*inter alia*) in a note of *Mr. Malone's* in the later editions of Boswell; but that note contains in substance all that MR. FORBES'S communication repeats. See the later editions of Boswell, under the date of 30th March, 1783.
