"Men more frequently require to be reminded than informed."
- Samuel Johnson, The Rambler No. 2 (March 24, 1750)
The Rambler
was a periodical by Samuel Johnson published on Tuesdays and Saturdays from 1750 to 1752. As was then common for the type of publication, the
subject matter was confined only to the imagination of the author (and the sale of the publication); typically, however, The
Rambler discussed subjects such as morality, literature, society, politics, and religion.
