Johnson composed his third dedication to King George for the architect John Gwynn, whose proposal for a new bridge at Blackfriars Johnson had supported in December 1756 (see above, p. 458).1 Johnson had also labored partly on Gwynn’s behalf in his writing for the Society of Artists (p. 467 above), for Gwynn was an original member, representing the architects. Much more significantly, in 1761 he wrote for Gwynn a pamphlet entitled Thoughts on the Coronation of His Present Majesty King George the Third, which appears in Yale, X.290–300. Gwynn’s London and Westminster Improved amplifies a work he published in 1749 in which he laments poor urban planning and an ignorant refusal to follow in full the plans of Christopher Wren for rebuilding London. The new book contains a “Discourse on Publick Magnificence” and “Observations on the State of Arts and Artists in Great-Britain,” in addition to ambitious plans for renewing infrastructure, redirecting thoroughfares and demolishing many buildings, including St. James’s Palace and Westminster Hall. Morris R. Brownell calls it “a poorly written pastiche, a piece of self-serving special pleading filled with factual misrepresentation, myth-making, and Utopian fantasy that Johnson could not have respected” (Brownell, p. 130). Nevertheless, there is no question that Johnson wrote this dedication, and he has been suspected of helping with other parts of the work.2 We doubt this, but Johnson did apparently help Gwynn later, in 1771, get employment in Oxford, where he rebuilt Magdalen Bridge.3
