TOPHAM BEAUCLERK
Topham Beauclerk was a Macaroni, the name given to young men who, often
having been on a grand tour of Europe and returned to England, adopted very much
a Continental style of dress, with the colours and cut of their clothing, their bizarre
shaped wigs, small tricot hats and other accessories all being part of the look.
Topham Beauclerk entertained Dr Johnson at his home in Old Windsor for a
number of weeks. He appears several times in James Boswell's Life of Samuel
Johnson. As Bennet Langton records: 'His affection for Topham Beauclerk was so
great, that when Beauclerk was labouring under that severe illness which at last
occasioned his death, Johnson said (with a voice faultering with emotion), "Sir, I
would walk to the extent of the diameter of the earth to save Beauclerk".' (Boswell 1672
