page 174 note 2 Houses are said to have rocked like cradles, etc. “Sir,” said Dr. Johnson, when Boswell told him of the earthquake of Sept. 14, 1777, “it will be much exaggerated in public talk: for, in the first place, the common people do not accurately adapt their words to their thought: they do not mean to lie: but, taking no pains to be exact, they give you very false accounts. A great part of their language is proverbial. If anything rocks at all, they say it rocks like a cradle: and in this way they go on.”
