Boswell says: "Cave was certainly a man of estimable qualities, and was eminently diligent and successful in his own business, which, doubtless, entitled him to respect. But he was peculiarly fortunate in being recorded by Johnson, who of the narrow life of a printer and publisher, without any digressions or adventitious circumstances, ijis made an interesting and agreeable narrative."
