Abstract
There was a servant in the family who waited at table, cleaned shoes, &c. whose name was William; a weak but good-tempered young man. Goldsmith would now and then make himself merry at his expense, and poor William generally enjoyed the joke without any diminution of his own self-satisfaction.
European Magazine, 53 (May 1808) pp. 373–4.
