Removing UNDUE content

With these edits, from this version, I have removed a large section incorrectly labeled as "Selected works", which was instead an UNDUE and somewhat biased accounting of the critical reception of one minor work of Johnson's. The section also. Had a lot of redundancy and some grammatical errors. We should not rely on older lesser scholarly accounts to refute a recent, scholarly account, and Hunt's accounting is not a favorable view of the Ludington Memoirs; the version I removed left an impression of that work distinctly different from what Hunt writes. (I made quite a mess of this cleanup as I mistakenly reverted too much content, which had to be restored; I did that without checking source-to-text integrity.

On a separate matter, WP:INFOBOXes are not required; pls gain consensus to use one. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 16:50, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
