PREFACE.
THIS little volume, the outcome of a number of careful and laborious
experiments with some famous books, and of some years of daily prac-
tice in the compilation of Subject-Indices to less interesting matter,
has a twofold aim.
It is primarily intended as an Index, Key, or Companion, to Steele
and Addison's Spectator (Professor Morley's edition, published by
Messrs. Routledge and Sons, but beyond this the compiler has been
animated by a desire to ascertain whether it would be possible—
(1) to make a complete and orderly survey of any book ;
(2) to secure uniformity of plan in Indices or Surveys prepared by
different persons; and
(3) to provide an endowment for a general enterprise in this direc-
tion by making a Digest-Index attractive enough to be a readable,
saleable book on its own merits, apart from its function as a key to
another book.
It would be ridiculous to pretend that these high aims are accom-
plished here. There will, however, be sufficient ground for satisfaction
if this book is deemed a worthy companion of a favourite English
classic, and is the means of arousing interest and activity in the
neglected but surely important Art of Record. It is no less strange
than significant that almost the only works that have hitherto been
thought worthy of any serious attempt at thorough analytical Indexing
are the Statutes, the Law Reports, and Parliamentary papers, a field
in which much splendid though little regarded work has been done,
and in which much, especially in the direction of unification, remains
to be done; but which, wide as it is, can hardly be said to include all
that in the Realm of Knowledge is worthy of careful record. This is
the more surprising seeing that the necessity of some effort towards
mitigating the evils arising from the hugeness of the World's Library
and from the "ill-tradition of knowledge over from hand to hand".
(BACON) has been pressed, and strongly pressed, by more than one
authority.

PREFACE.
Bacon, in his Advancement of Learning, granting more than one
need claim, says :—
"Another error is a conceit that of former opinions or sects, after
variety and examination, the best hath still prevailed and suppressed
the rest ; . . . . for the truth is that time seemeth to be of the nature
of a river or stream, which carrieth down to us that which is light and
blown up, and sinketh and drowneth that which is weighty and solid."
And, again, in perhaps the most pregnant sentence to be found in
that work :-
"I am persuaded that if the choice and best of those observations
upon texts of scripture which have been made dispersedly in sermons
within this your Majesty's island of Britain by the space of these forty
years and more, leaving out the largeness of exhortations thereupon,
had been set down in a continuance, it had been the best work in
divinity which had been written since the Apostles' times."
The following passage, taken from Milton's Areopagitica, is
strikingly applicable to the diminution in the vitality and power of
books, caused by overcrowding and by the lack of that light which
a Digest-Index alone can give :-
"For books are not absolutely dead things but do contain a potencie
of life in them to be as active as that soul was whose progeny they
are; nay, they do preserve, as in a violl, the purest efficacie and
extraction of that living intellect that bred them. As good almost kill
a man as kill a good book; who kills a man kills a reasonable crea-
ture, God's image; but hee who destroyes a good booke, kills reason
itself, kills the image of God, as it were in the eye. Many a man lives
a burden to the earth, but a good booke is the pretious life-blood of a
Master-Spirit, imbalm'd and treasur'd up on purpose to a Life beyond
Life. 'Tis true no age can restore a life, whereof perhaps there
is no great losse; and revolutions of ages doe not oft recover
the losse of a rejected truth, for the want of which whole nations fare
the worse."
Addison, in Essay No. 124 of the Spectator, takes up the tale and
comes perilously near the view that books, like living matter, should
have but a limited period of individual existence, to be followed by
decomposition, in the course of which the finer parts would be separated
from the baser and rise to a new sphere of service.
"Were all books reduced to their quintessence many a bulky author
would make his appearance in a penny paper. There would be scarce
such a thing in nature as a Folio. The works of an age would be con-
tained on a few shelves; not to mention millions of books that would
be utterly annihilated."
PREFACE.
ix
In our own times we have an eloquent lamentation on the part of Mr.
Frederick Harrison, which probably represents the convictions of all
those who look upon books in a serious light and are anxious that the
thoughts and experience of past generations should be readily and in
fullest measure at the service of the present. It mentions no remedy for
the evil it depicts, but suggests to the mind the necessity of a division of
labour in the literary world, to free the thinker from the toilsome task
of quarrying and carrying the marble on which he has to work. The
passage is as follows:-
"Every book that we take up without a purpose is an opportunity lost
of taking up a book with a purpose. Every bit of stray information
which we cram into our heads without any sense of its importance, is
for the most part a bit of the most useful information driven out of our
heads and choked off from our minds. It is so certain that informa-
tion, that is, the knowledge, the stored thoughts and observations of
mankind, is now grown to proportions so incalculable and prodigious,
that even the learned whose lives are given to study can but pick up
some crumbs that fall from the table of truth. They delve and tend
but a plot in that vast and teeming kingdom, whilst those whom active
life leaves with but a few cramped hours of study can hardly come to
know the very vastness of the field before them, or how infinitesimally
small is the corner they can traverse at the best.
"We know all is not of equal value. We know that books differ in
value as much as diamonds differ from the sands on the sea-shore
. . . And thus I come often, in my less hopeful moods, to watch the
remorseless cataract of daily literature which thunders over the rem-
nants of the past, as if it were a fresh impediment to the men of our
day in the way of systematic knowledge and consistent powers of
thought: as if it were destined one day to overwhelm the great inherit-
ance of mankind in prose and verse."
Cardinal Newman brings the matter down to the level of practical
enterprise and recommends a work of which Indexing or Surveying
must indubitably be the first stage, and indeed every stage but the
last.
"We have a vast inheritance but no inventory of our treasures. All
is given us in profusion: it remains for us to catalogue, sort, distribute,
select, harmonise, and complete. We have more than we know how
to use; stores of learning, but little that is precise and serviceable;
Catholic truth and individual opinion, first principles and the guesses
of genius, all mingled in the same works, and requiring to be discri-

minated. We meet with truths overstated or misdirected, matters of
detail variously taken, facts incompletely proved or applied, and rules
inconsistently urged or discordantly interpreted." ("Prophetical
Office." The passage appears also in the "Apologia" as a quo-
tation).
These passages, in which the Realm of Knowledge is taken as a
whole, and regarded as a territory to be systematically and thoroughly
surveyed, or a mine to be methodically worked, suggest clearly enough
an enterprise which, on account of its almost appalling magnitude, one
would be slow to definitely propose, unless in the manner attributed to
Lord John Russell, on a famous occasion, by" Punch." Nevertheless,
the undertaking presents no absolutely insuperable difficulty to one.
hopefully viewing the possibility of the federation, national and inter-
national, of the forces already engaged independently in the work. If
a united mission of light to Book-land should fail, the cause of failure
is not likely to be found in the want of workers. It is fortunately
unnecessary, however, on the present occasion, to claim more for the
authorities cited than that they together form sufficient warrant
for the opinion that Indexing, the Art of Record, the work of
bringing the treasures of knowledge to light, is work well worthy
of all the skill, care, and patient industry that can be bestowed
upon it.
One might go even so far as to say that a thousand books of
the more solid sort, accompanied each with a perfect Digest-Index,
would be more fruitful than ten thousand without them. What con-
stitutes the needed perfection, and what are the means by which it
may be attained, are questions which can be only briefly touched upon
here, and indeed the whole matter is more easily approached from the
practical than from the theoretical side.
A perfect Index may be defined as an instrument by means of which
one may instantly direct to any one point all the light that the book or
books indexed can throw upon that point. Every fact in the book
surveyed, every opinion, chain of argument, story, or illustration, every
particularly fine expression of thought, that may be of any importance
to anybody, should be so recorded that it may be made to spring to light
almost at a wish. To this end it is of course essential that every
general heading of any possible utility should be provided and fully
furnished. Further, and on this point it is necessary to lay stress—
a Digest-Index should be something more than a skeleton. It should
be an epitome substantial enough to fully indicate the nature of the
matter, but not so substantial as to make reference other than a
momentary act. Passages selected for reproduction verbatim in order

to add vitality and interest to the work might be so printed as not to
interfere with the orderly arrangement of an Index. And, lastly, a
perfect Index would be so ordered as to encourage and invite reference,
and be so complete that absence of mention in it might with confidence
be taken as proof of absence of mention in the book indexed.
Whatever may be the scope of any efforts in this direction, the chief
technical difficulties to be encountered are :—
(1.) The complete selection of matter deserving note;
(2.) The naming and grouping of subjects ;
(3.) The condensation of matter, selection of passages for reproduc-
tion verbatim, and presentation of the work in an orderly and attrac-
tive form.
For many reasons it is desirable that the survey of each book, or
group of books, selected-it is not every book that could furnish matter
sufficient for a separate Index-should be undertaken by a small band
of persons well acquainted with and seriously interested in the author
to be dealt with.
The second point, bearing in mind the desirability of securing uni-
formity of plan in all Indices, is one of greater difficulty, and cannot
be brought to perfection until after the provision of a clean-cut termin-
ology, or Language of Record. The need of an exact instrument does
not press, however, in dealing with a single book. A deal of rough
Indexing must precede the fine; but the call would come if ever the
attempt should be made to reduce, say, one thousand indices to one
and so satisfy a want that is well expressed by Bacon in the
following:
"Were it not better for a man in a fair room to set up one great
light, or branching candlestick of lights, than to go about with a small
watch-candle into every corner?"
Definition of Terms and Division of Subjects-definition, that is,
which is based less upon etymological considerations or upon usage
than upon other grounds-are two matters of first importance to
Bibliographers and Indexers, and it is interesting to experiment upon
the means of attaining them; still more interesting, perhaps, to specu-
late upon the steps that would immediately follow the provision of the
long-needed Scientific Language. Perhaps the ideal language of
logicians may prove to be identical with the indexer's Language of
Record.
Of the third stage, viz., the presentation of the work in an attractive
form, nothing need be said except that upon its successful accomplish-
ment depends commercial success.

PREFACE.
This is a poor little book to be burdened with a mission, but there
seems to be no escaping it; for if a work of this kind is good for one
book it is good for an unlimited number, and the measure of success
attained here with the Spectator falls far short of what would be
possible with extensive co-operation, careful division of labour, in-
creased experience, and an improved instrument of language.

Inflexible to Ill, and obstinately just,
May the rude Rabble's Insolence despise,
Their senseless Clamours and tumultuous
Cries;
The Tyrant's Fierceness he beguiles,
And the stern Brow, and the harsh Voice
defies,
And with superior Greatness smiles.

The stubborn Virtue of his Soul can move;

a common Woman, but being resolved to do
nothing without the Advice of his Friend

ceived a Challenge for his Pains, and before

"I often consider Mankind as wholly in-
consistent with itself in a Point that bears
some Affinity to the former. Though we
seem grieved at the Shortness of Life in
general, we are wishing every Period of it at
an end. The Minor longs to be at Age, then
to be a Man of Business, then to make up an
Estate, then to arrive at Honours, then to
retire. Thus although the whole of Life is
allowed by every one to be short, the several
Divisions of it appear long and tedious. We
are for lengthening our Span in general, but
would fain contract the Parts of which it is
composed. The Usurer would be very well
satisfied to have all the Time annihilated that
lies between the present Moment and next
Quarter-day. The Politician would be con-
tented to lose three Years in his Life, could
he place things in the Posture which he
fancies they will stand in after such a Revolu-
tion of Time. The Lover would be glad to
strike out of his Existence all the Moments
that are to pass away before the happy
Meeting. Thus, as fast as our Time runs,
we should be very glad in most Parts of our
Lives that it ran much faster than it does.
Several Hours of the Day hang upon our
Hands, nay we wish away whole Years and
travel through Time as through a Country
filled with many wild and empty Wastes,
which we would fain hurry over, that we
may arrive at those several little Settlements
or imaginary Points of Rest which are dis-
persed up and down in it.
"If we divide the Life of most Men into
twenty Parts, we shall find that at least
nineteen of them are meer Gaps and Chasms,
which are neither filled with Pleasure nor
Business. I do not however include in this
Calculation the Life of those Men who are
in a perpetual Hurry of Affairs, but of those
only who are not always engaged in Scenes
of Action; and I hope I shall not do an un-
acceptable Piece of Service to these Persons,
if I point out to them certain Methods for
the filling up their empty Spaces of Life.
The Methods I shall propose to them are as

"A Man's first Care should be to avoid
the Reproaches of his own Heart; his next,
to escape the Censures of the World: If the
last interferes with the former, it ought to be
entirely neglected; but otherwise, there can-
not be a greater Satisfaction to an honest
Mind, than to see those Approbations which
it gives it self seconded by the Applauses of
the Publick: A Man is more sure of his Con-
duct, when the Verdict which he passes upon
his own Behaviour is thus warranted and con-
firmed by the Opinion of all that know him.'

Man to judge of his own Capacity impar-
tially; that may look great to me which may
appear little to another, and I may be carried

"You have in my Opinion, raised a
good presumptive Argument from the in-
creasing Appetite the Mind has to Know-
ledge, and to the extending its own Faculties,
which cannot be accomplished, as the more
restrained Perfection of lower Creatures may,
in the Limits of a short Life. I think another
probable Conjecture may be raised from our
Appetite to Duration it self, and from a Re-
flection on our Progress through the several
Stages of it: We are complaining, as you
observe in a former Speculation, of the Short-
ness of Life, and yet are perpetually hurrying
over the Parts of it, to arrive at certain little
Settlements, or imaginary Points of Rest,
which are dispersed up and down in it.
"Now let us consider what happens to us
when we arrive at these imaginary Points of
Rest: Do we stop our Motion, and sit down
satisfied in the Settlement we have gain'd?
or are we not removing the Boundary, and
marking out new Points of Rest, to which we
press forward with the like Eagerness, and
which cease to be such as fast as we attain
them? Our Case is like that of a Traveller
upon the Alps, who should fancy that the
Top of the next Hill must end his Journey,
because it terminates his Prospect; but he
no sooner arrives at it, than he sees new
Ground and other Hills beyond it, and con-
tinues to travel on as before.
"This is so plainly every Man's Condition
in Life, that there is no one who has observed
any thing, but may observe, that as fast as
his Time wears away, his Appetite to some-
thing future remains. The Use therefore I
would make of it is this, That since Nature
(as some love to express it) does nothing in
vain, or, to speak properly, since the Author
of our Being has planted no wandering Pas-
sion in it, no Desire which has not its Object,
Futurity is the proper Object of the Passion
so constantly exercis'd about it; and this
Restlessness in the present, this assigning
our selves over to further Stages of Dura-
tion, this successive grasping at somewhat
still to come, appears to me (whatever it may
to others) as a kind of Instinct or natural
Symptom which the Mind of Man has of its
own Immortality." 303-1-5.
It is of unspeakable advantage to possess
our minds with an habitual good intention,
and to aim all our thoughts, words, and
actions at some laudable end, whether it be
the glory of our Maker, the good of
mankind, or the benefit of our own souls.
307-1-2.
"It may be thought then but common
Prudence in a Man not to change a better
State for a worse, nor ever to quit that which
he knows he shall take up again with Plea-
sure; and yet if human Life be not a little
moved with the gentle Gales of Hopes and
Fears, there may be some Danger of its
stagnating in an unmanly Indolence and
Security. It is a known Story of Domitian,
that after he had possessed himself of the
Roman Empire, his Desires turn'd upon
Active and Masculine
catching Flies.
Spirits in the Vigour of Youth neither can
nor ought to remain at Rest: If they debar
themselves from aiming at a noble Object,
their Desires will move downwards, and
they will feel themselves actuated by some
low and abject Passion. Thus if you cut
off the top Branches of a Tree, and will
not suffer it to grow any higher, it will not
therefore cease to grow, but will quickly
shoot out at the Bottom. The Man indeed
who goes into the World only with the
narrow Views of Self-Interest, who catches
at the Applause of an idle Multitude, as he
can find no solid Contentment at the End
of his Journey, so he deserves to meet with
Disappointments in his Way; but he who is
actuated by a noble Principle, whose Mind
is so far enlarged as to take in the Prospect
of his Country's Good, who is enamoured
with that Praise which is one of the fair
Attendants of Virtue, and values not those
Acclamations which are not seconded by the
impartial Testimony of his own Mind; who
repines not at the low Station which Provi-
dence has at present allotted him, but yet

"The Man who is fitted out by Nature,

cation to infuse into the untainted Youth
early Notices of Justice and Honour, that so
the possible Advantages of good Parts may
not take an evil Turn, nor be perverted to
base and unworthy Purposes. It is the
Business of Religion and Philosophy not so
much to extinguish our Passions, as to regu-
late and direct them to valuable well-chosen
Objects When these have pointed out to us
which Course we may lawfully steer, 'tis no
Harm to set out all our Sail; if the Storms
and Tempests of Adversity should rise upon

People, there will be many whose Pleasures
will lie in Reading and Contemplation. These
are the two great Sources of Knowledge, and
as Men grow wise they naturally love to
communicate their Discoveries; and others
seeing the Happiness of such a Learned Life,
and improving by their Conversation, emulate,
imitate, and surpass one another, till a Nation

Nature does nothing in vain: the
Creator of the Universe has appointed every
thing to a certain Use and Purpose, and
determin'd it to a settled Course and Sphere
of Action, from which, if it in the least devi-
ates, it becomes unfit to answer those Ends
for which it was designed. In like manner
it is in the Dispositions of Society, the civil
Oeconomy is formed in a Chain as well as
the natural; and in either Case the Breach.
but of one Link puts the Whole into some
Disorder. It is, I think, pretty plain, that
most of the Absurdity and Ridicule we meet
with in the World, is generally owing to the
impertinent Affectation of excelling in Cha-
racters Men are not fit for, and for which
Nature never designed them.
"Every Man has one or more Qualities
which may make him useful both to himself
and others: Nature never fails of pointing
them out, and while the Infant continues
under her Guardianship, she brings him on
in this Way; and then offers her self for a
Guide in what remains of the Journey; if he
proceeds in that Course, he can hardly mis-
carry: Nature makes good her Engagements;
for as she never promises what she is not
able to perform, so she never fails of perform-
ing what she promises. But the Misfortune
is, Men despise what they may be Masters
of, and affect what they are not fit for; they
reckon themselves already possessed of what
their Genius inclined them to, and so bend all
their Ambition to excel in what is out of their
Reach: Thus they destroy the Use of their
natural Talents, in the same manner
covetous Men do their Quiet and Repose;
they can enjoy no Satisfaction in what they
have, because of the absurd Inclination they
are possessed with for what they have not.

Cleanthes had good Sense, a great
Memory, and a Constitution capable of the
closest Application: In a Word there was no
Profession in which Cleanthes might not
have made a very good Figure; but this
won't satisfie him, he takes up an unaccount-
able Fondness for the Character of a fine
Gentleman; all his Thoughts are bent upon
this instead of attending a Dissection, fre-
quenting the Courts of Justice. or studying
the Fathers, Cleanthes reads Plays, dances,
dresses, and spends his Time in drawing-
rooms; instead of being a good Lawyer,
Divine, or Physician, Cleanthes is a down-
right Coxcomb, and will remain to all that
knew him a contemptible Example of Talents
misapplied. It is to this Affectation the
World owes its whole Race of Coxcombs:
Nature in her whole Drama never drew such
a Part: she has sometimes made a Fool, but
a Coxcomb is always of a Man's own mak-
ing, by applying his Talents otherwise than
Nature designed, who ever bears an high
Resentment for being put out of her Course,
and never fails of taking her Revenge on
those that do so. Opposing her Tendency in
the Application of a Man's Parts, has the
same Success as declining from her Course in

ance of Art and an hot Bed, we may possibly
extort an unwilling Plant, or an untimely
Sallad; but how weak, how tasteless and
insipid? Just as insipid as the Poetry of
Valerio; Valerio had an universal Character,
was genteel, had Learning, thought justly,
spoke correctly; 'twas believed there was
nothing in which Valerio did not excel; and
'twas so far true, that there was but one;
Valerio had no Genius for Poetry, yet he's
resolved to be a Poet; he writes Verses, and
takes great Pains to convince the Town, that
Valerio is not that extraordinary Person he
was taken for.
"If Men would be content to graft upon
Nature, and assist her Operations, what
mighty Effects might we expect? Tully
would not stand so much alone in Oratory,
Virgil in Poetry, or Cæsar in War. To build
upon Nature, is laying the Foundation upon
a Rock; every thing disposes its self into
Order as it were of Course, and the whole
Work is half done as soon as undertaken.

Virgil's to follow the Train of the Muses;
they piously obeyed the Admonition, and
were rewarded. Had Virgil attended the
Bar, his modest and ingenious Virtue would
surely have made but a very indifferent
Figure; and Tully's declamatory Inclination
would have been as useless in Poetry.
Nature, if left to her self, leads us on in the
best Course, but will do nothing by Compul-
sion and Constraint; and if we are not satis-
fied to go her Way, we are always the greatest
Sufferers by it.
"Wherever Nature designs a Production,
she always disposes Seeds proper for it, which
are as absolutely necessary to the Formation
of any moral or intellectual Excellence, as
they are to the Being and Growth of Plants;
and I know not by what Fate and Folly it is,
that Men are taught not to reckon him
equally absurd that will write Verses in
Spite of Nature, with that Gardener that
should undertake to raise a Jonquil or Tulip
without the Help of their respective Seeds.
"As there is no Good or bad Quality that
does not affect both Sexes, so it is not to be
imagined but the fair Sex must have suffered
by an Affectation of this Nature, at least as
much as the other. The ill Effect of it is in
none so conspicuous as in the two opposite
Characters of Cælia and Iras; Cælia has all
the Charms of Person, together with an
abundant Sweetness of Nature, but wants
Wit, and has a very ill Voice; Iras is ugly
and ungenteel, but has Wit and good Sense:
If Cælia would be silent, her Beholders would
adore her; if Iras would talk, her Hearers
would admire her; but Cælia's Tongue runs
incessantly, while Iras gives her self silent
Airs and soft Languors; so that 'tis difficult
to persuade ones self that Cælia has Beauty
and Iras Wit: Each neglects her own Ex-
cellence, and is ambitious of the other's Cha-
racter; Iras would be thought to have as
much Beauty as Cælia, and Cælia as much
Wit as Iras.
"The great Misfortune of this Affectation
is, that Men not only lose a good Quality,
but also contract a bad one: They not only
are unfit for what they were designed, but
they assign themselves to what they are not
fit for; and instead of making a very good
Figure one Way, make a very ridiculous one
another. If Semanthe would have been
satisfied with her natural Complexion, she
might still have been celebrated by the Name
of the Olive Beauty; but Semanthe has taken
up an Affectation to White and Red, and is
now distinguished by the Character of the
Lady that paints so well. In a word, could
the World be reformed to the Obedience of
that famed Dictate, Follow Nature, which
the Oracle of Delphos pronounced to Cicero
when he consulted what Course of Studies he
should pursue, we should see almost every
Man as eminent in his proper Sphere as
Tully was in his, and should in a very short
time find Impertinence and Affectation
banished from among the Women, and Cox-
combs and false Characters from among the
Men. For my Part, I could never consider
this preposterous Repugnancy to Nature any
otherwise, than not only as the greatest
Folly, but also one of the most heinous
Crimes, since it is a direct Opposition to the
Disposition of Providence, and (as Tully ex
presses it) like the Sin of the Giants, an actua
Rebellion against Heaven.' 585-1-2.
'A lewd young Fellow seeing an aged
Hermit go by him barefoot, Father, says he,
you are in a very miserable Condition if there
is not another World. True, Son, said the
Hermit; but what is thy Condition if there
is? Man is a Creature designed for two
different States of Being, or rather, for two
different Lives. His first Life is short and
transient; his second permanent and lasting
The Question we are all concerned in is
this, In which of these two Lives it is
our chief Interest to make our selves happy?
Or, in other Words, Whether we should
endeavour to secure to our selves the
Pleasures and Gratifications of a Life which
is uncertain and precarious, and at its utmost
Length of a very inconsiderable Duration; or
to secure to our selves the Pleasures of a
Life which is fixed and settled, and will never
end? Every Man, upon the first hearing of
this Question, knows very well which Side of
it he ought to close with. But however
right we are in Theory, it is plain that in
Practice we adhere to the wrong Side of the
Question. We make Provisions for this Life
as tho' it were never to have an End, and for
the other Life as tho' it were never to have a
Beginning.
"Should a Spirit of superior Rank who is
a Stranger to human Nature, accidentally
alight upon the Earth, and take a Survey of
its Inhabitants; what would his Notions of
us be? Would not he think that we are a
Species of Beings made for quite different
Ends and Purposes than what we really are?
Must not he imagine that we were placed in
this World to get Riches and Honours?
Would not he think that it was our Duty to
toil after Wealth, and Station, and Title?
Nay, would not he believe we were forbidden
Poverty by Threats of eternal Punishment,
and enjoined to pursue our Pleasures under
Pain of Damnation? He would certainly
imagine that we were influenced by a Scheine
of Duties quite opposite to those which are
indeed prescribed to us. And truly, accord-
ing to such an Imagination, he must conclude
that we are a Species of the most obedient
Creatures in the Universe; that we
constant to our Duty; and that we keep a
steddy Eye on the End for which we were
sent hither.

"But how great would be his Astonish-
ment, when he learnt that we were Beings
not designed to exist in this World above
threescore and ten Years? and that the
greatest Part of this busy Species fall short
even of that Age? How would he be lost in
Horrour and Admiration, when he should
know that this Sett of Creatures, who lay out
all their Endeavours for this Life, which
scarce deserves the Name of Existence
AIM

when, I say, he should know that this Sett
of Creatures are to exist to all Eternity in
another Life, for which they make no Prepa-
rations? Nothing can be a greater Disgrace
to Reason, than that Men, who are perswaded
of these two different States of Being, should
be perpetually employed in providing for a
Life of threescore and ten Years, and neglect-
ing to make Provision for that, which after
many Myriads of Years will be still new, and
still beginning; especially when we consider
that our endeavours for making ourselves
great, or rich, or honourable, or whatever
else we place our Happiness in, may after all
prove unsuccessful; whereas if we constantly
and sincerely endeavour to make our selves
happy in the other Life, we are sure that our
Endeavours will succeed, and that we shall
not be disappointed of our Hope.
"The following Question is started by one
of the Schoolmen. Supposing the whole Body
of the Earth were a great Ball or Mass of the
finest Sand, and that a single Grain or
Particle of this Sand should be annihilated
every thousand Years. Supposing then that
you had it in your Choice to be happy all the
while this prodigious Mass of Sand was con-
suming by this slow Method till there was
not a Grain of it left, on Condition you were
to be miserable for ever after; or, supposing
that you might be happy for ever after, on Con-
dition you would be miserable till the whole
Mass of Sand were thus annihilated at the
Rate of one Sand in a thousand Years: Which
of these two Cases would you make your
Choice?
"It must be confessed in this Case, so
many Thousands of Years are to the Imagi-
nation as a kind of Eternity, tho' in reality
they do not bear so great a Proportion to that
Duration which is to follow them, as a Unite
does to the greatest Number which you can
put together in Figures, or as one of those
Sands to the supposed Heap. Reason there-
fore tells us, without any manner of Hesita-
tion, which would be the better Part in this
Choice, However, as I have before inti-
mated, our Reason might in such a Case be
so overset by the Imagination, as to dispose
some Persons to sink under the Consideration
of the great Length of the first Part of this
Duration, and of the great Distance of that
second Duration which is to succeed it. The
Mind, I say, might give it self up to that
Happiness which is at Hand, considering
that it is so very near, and that it would last
so very long. But when the Choice we
actually have before us is this, Whether we
will chuse to be happy for the space of only
threescore and ten, nay perhaps of only
twenty or ten Years, I might say of only a
Day or an Hour, and miserable to all
Eternity; or, on the contrary, miserable for
this short Term of Years, and happy for a
whole Eternity: What Words are sufficient
to express that Folly and want of Considera-
tion which in such a Case makes a wrong
Choice?
"I here put the Case even at the worst,
by supposing (what seldom happens) that a
Course of Virtue makes us miserable in this
Life: But if we suppose (as it generally
happens) that Virtue would make us more
happy even in this Life than a contrary
Course of Vice; how can we sufficiently
admire the Stupidity or Madness of those
Persons who are capable of making so absurd
a Choice?
"Every wise Man therefore will consider
this Life only as it may conduce to the
Happiness of the other, and chearfully sacri-
fice the Pleasures of a few Years to those of
an Eternity." 816-2-5.
"Another Thing which suspends the Opera-
tions of Benevolence, is the Love of the World;
proceeding from a false Notion Men have
taken up, that an Abundance of the World
is an essential Ingredient into the Happiness
of Life. Worldly Things are of such a
Quality as to lessen upon dividing, so
that the more Partners there are, the less
must fall to every Man's private Share. The
Consequence of this is, that they look upon
one another with an evil Eye, each imagining
all the rest to be embarked in an Interest,
that cannot take Place but to his Prejudice.
Hence are those eager Competitions for
Wealth or Power: hence one Man's Success
becomes another's Disappointment; and, like
Pretenders to the same Mistress, they can
seldom have common Charity for their Rivals.
Not that they are naturally disposed to
quarrel and fall out, but 'tis natural for a
Man to prefer himself to all others, and to
secure his own Interest first. If that which
Men esteem their Happiness were like the
Light, the same sufficient and unconfined
Good, whether Ten Thousand enjoy the
Benefit of it, or but One, we should see
Men's Good-will, and kind Endeavours,
would be as universal.

Viam,
Quasi Lumen de suo Lumine accendat,

But, unluckily, Mankind agree in making
Choice of Objects, which inevitably engage
them in perpetual Differences. Learn there-
fore, like a wise Man, the true Estimate of
Things. Desire not more of the World than
is necessary to accommodate you in passing
through it; look upon every thing beyond,
not as useless only, but burthensome. Place
not your Quiet in Things, which you cannot
have without putting others beside them, and
thereby making them your Enemies; and
which, when attain'd, will give you more
Trouble to keep, than Satisfaction in the En-
joyment. Virtue is a Good of a nobler kind;
it grows by Communication, and so little re-
sembles earthly Riches, that the more Hands
it is lodged in, the greater is every Man's
particular Stock, So, by propagating and
mingling their Fires, not only all the Lights
of a Branch together cast a more extensive
Brightness, but each single Light burns with
a stronger Flame. And lastly, take this

along with you, that if Wealth be an Instru-
ment of Pleasure, the greatest Pleasure it
can put into your Power, is that of doing
Good. 'Tis worth considering, that the
Organs of Sense act within a narrow Compass,
and the Appetites will soon say they have
enough: Which of the two therefore is the
happier Man? He, who confining all his
Regard to the Gratification of his own Appe-
tites, is capable but of short Fits of Pleasure?
Or the Man, who, reckoning himself a Sharer
in the Satisfactions of others, especially those
which come to them by his Means, enlarges
the Sphere of his Happiness?" 847-1-2.
"Like those who walk upon a line, if we
keep our eye fixed upon one point, we may
step forward securely; whereas an imprudent
or cowardly glance on either side will in-
fallibly destroy us. 863-2-3.

As we rise from Childhood to Youth,
we look with Contempt on the Toys and
Trifles which our Hearts have hitherto been
set upon.
When we advance to Manhood,
we are held wise in proportion to our Shame
and Regret for the Rashness and Extra-
vagance of Youth. Old Age fills us with
mortifying Reflections upon a Life, mis-
spent in the Pursuit of anxious Wealth or
uncertain Honour. Agreeable to this Gra-
dation of Thought in this Life, it may be
reasonably supposed, that in a future State,
the Wisdom, the Experience, and the
Maxims of old Age, will be looked upon by
a separate Spirit in much the same Light, as
an ancient Man now sees the little Follies
and Toyings of Infants. The Pomps, the
Honours, the Policies, and Arts of mortal
Men, will be thought as trifling as Hobby-
Horses, Mock Battles, or any other Sports
that now employ all the Cunning, and
Strength, and Ambition of rational Beings
from four Years old to nine or ten. 868-2-6.

"Mankind is divided into two Parts, the
Busie and the Idle. The Busie World may
be divided into the Virtuous and the Vicious.
The Vicious again into the Covetous, the Am-
bitious, and the Sensual. The idle Part of
Mankind are in a State inferior to any one
of these. All the other are engaged in the
Pursuit of Happiness, though often mis-
placed, and are therefore more likely to be
attentive to such Means, as shall be pro-
posed to them for that End. The Idle, who
are neither wise for this World, nor the next,
are emphatically called by Dr. Tillotson,
Fools at large. They propose to themselves
no End, but run adrift with every Wind.
Advice therefore would be but thrown away
upon them, since they would scarce take the
Pains to read it. I shall not fatigue any of
this worthless Tribe with a long Harangue;
but will leave them with this short Saying of
Plato, that Labour is preferable to Idleness,
as Brightness to Rust.
"The Pursuits of the Active Part of Man-
kind, are either in the Paths of Religion and
Virtue; or, on the other Hand, in the Roads
to Wealth, Honours or Pleasure. I shall
therefore compare the Pursuits of Avarice,
Ambition and sensual Delight, with their
opposite Virtues; and shall consider which
of these Principles engages Men in a Course
of the greatest Labour, Suffering and As-
siduity. Most Men, in their cool Reason-
ings, are willing to allow that a Course of
Virtue will in the End be rewarded the most
amply; but represent the Way to it as
rugged and narrow. If therefore it can be
made appear, that Men struggle through as
many Troubles to be miserable, as they do
to be happy, my Readers may perhaps be
perswaded to be Good, when they find they
shall lose nothing by it.
66
First, for Avarice. The Miser is more
Industrious than the Saint: The Pains of
getting, the Fears of losing, and the Inability
of enjoying his Wealth, have been the Mark
of Satyr in all Ages. Were his Repentance
upon his Neglect of a good Bargain his
Sorrow for being over-reached, his Hope of
improving a Sum, and his Fear of falling
into Want, directed to their proper Objects,
they would make so many different Christian
Graces and Virtues. He may apply to him-
self a great Part of St. Paul's Catalogue of
Sufferings. In journeying often; in Perils
of Water, in Perils of Robbers, in Perils
among false Brethren. In Weariness and
Painfulness, in Watchings often, in Hunger
and Thirst, in Fastings often, -At how
much less Expence might he lay up to him-
self Treasures in Heaven; or if I may, in
this Place, be allowed to add the Saying ot
a great Philosopher, he may provide such
Possessions, as fear neither Arms, nor Men,
nor Jove himself.
"In the second Place, if we look upon the
Toils of Ambition, in the same Light as we
have considered those of Avarice, we shall
1eadily own that far less Trouble is requisite
to gain lasting Glory, than the Power and
Reputation of a few Years; or, in other
Words, we may with more Ease deserve
Honour, than obtain it. The Ambitious
Man should remember Cardinal Woolsey's
Complaint Had I served God, with the
same Application, wherewith I served my
King, he would not have forsaken me in my
old Age.' The Cardinal here softens his
Ambition by the specious Pretence of serving
his King: Whereas his Words in the proper
Construction, imply, that if instead of being
acted by Ambition, he had been acted by
Religion, he should have now felt the Com-
forts of it, when the whole World turned its
Back upon him.
"Thirdly, Let us compare the Pains of
the Sensual, with those of the Virtuous, and
see which are heavier in the Balance. It
may seem strange, at the first View, that the
Men of Pleasure should be advised to change
their Course, because they lead a painful
Life. Yet when we see them so active and
vigilant in quest of Delight; under so many
Disquiets, and the Sport of such various
Passions; let them answer, as they can, if
the Pains they undergo, do not outweigh
their Enjoyments. The Infidelities on the
one Part between the two Sexes, and the

Caprices on the other, the Debasement of
Reason, the Pangs of Expectation, the Dis-
appointments in Possession, the Stings of
Remorse, the Vanities and Vexations attend-
ing even the most refined Delights that make
up this Business of Life, render it so silly
and uncomfortable, that no Man is thought
wise till he hath got over it, or happy, but
in proportion as he hath cleared himself
from it.
"The Sum of all is this. Man is made an
active Being. Whether he walks in the
Paths of Virtue or Vice, he is sure to meet
with many Difficulties to prove his Patience,
and excite his Industry. The same if not
greater Labour, is required in the Service of
Vice and Folly, as of Virtue and Wisdom :
and he hath this easie Choice left him,
whether with the Strength he is Master of,
he will purchase Happiness or Repentance.'

Ambition. It is observed by Cicero, that
men of the greatest and the most shining
parts are the most actuated by ambition; and
if we look into the two sexes, I believe we
shall find this principle of action stronger in
women than in men. 118-2-4.
"Ife'er Ambition did my fancy cheat,
With any wish so mean as to be great;
Continue, Heav'n, still from me to remove
The humble blessings of that life I love."

Ambition—continued.
Pascal says in his discourse on the
Misery of Man that all our endeavours after
greatness proceed from nothing but a desire
of being surrounded by a multitude of persons
and affairs that may hinder us from looking
into ourselves, which is a view we cannot
bear. 177-2-3.
Those men only are truly great, who
place their ambition rather in acquiring to
themselves the conscience of worthy enter-
prises, than in the prospect of glory which
attends them. 252-1-4.

A principle of action common to all men,
and generally necessary as a motive power to
the employment of the higher faculties.
Essay 255, p. 364.
All that a woman has to do in this world
is contained within the duties of a daughter,
a sister, a wife, and a mother. When the
brains of the sex are turn'd, they place
very
their ambition on circumstances, wherein to
excel is no addition to what is truly com-
mendable. 499-2-3.
Mean and narrow minds are the least
actuated by it. 364-2-4.
Scarce a man living who is not actuated
by it. When it meets with an honest mind
and great abilities, it does infinite service to
the world. In some the desire of fame, sup-
planting the desire to do full service, impels
to a struggle for eminence in odd accom-
plishments and trivial performances.
809-2-4.
The soul of man is an active principle.
He therefore who withdraws himself from the

Why truly, says the King, to conquer Car-

And what, Sir, says the Minister is to be the
End of all your Expeditions? Why then,
says the King, for the rest of our Lives we'll

Cyneas, to better than we have now before
us? Have we not already as much as we can

Anticipation. After having wished my
Correspondent good Luck, and thanked him
for his intended Kindness, I shall for this
time dismiss the Subject of the Lottery, and
only observe that the greatest Part of Man-
kind are in some degree guilty of my Friend
Gosling's Extravagance. We are apt to rely
upon future Prospects, and become really
expensive while we are only rich in Possi-
bility. We live up to our Expectations, not
to our Possessions, and make a Figure pro-
portionable to what we may be, not what we
are. We out-run our present Income, as not
doubting to disburse our selves out of the
Profits of some future Place, Project, or Re-
version, that we have in view. It is through
this Temper of Mind, which is so common
among us, that we see Tradesmen break,
who have met with no Misfortunes in their
Business; and Men of Estates reduced to
Poverty, who have never suffered from Losses
or Repairs, Tenants, Taxes, or Law-suits.
In short, it is this foolish sanguine Temper,
this depending upon Contingent Futurities,
that occasions Romantick Generosity, Chy-
merical Grandeur, Senseless Ostentation, and
generally ends in Beggary and Ruin. The
Man, who will live above his present Circum-
stances, is in great Danger of living in a
little time much beneath them, or, as the
Italian Proverb runs, The Man who lives by
Hope will die by Hunger.
"It should be an indispensable Rule in
Life, to contract our Desires to our present
Condition, and whatever may be our Ex-
pectations, to live within the compass of what
we actually possess. It will be Time enough
to enjoy an Estate when it comes into our
Hands; but if we anticipate our good For-
tune, we shall lose the Pleasure of it when it
arrives, and may possibly never possess what
we have so foolishly counted upon." 278-1-1,2.

Bent. "I have often observed, there is not a
Man breathing who does not differ from all
other Men, as much in the Sentiments of his
Mind, as the Features of his Face. The
Felicity is, when any one is so happy as to
find out and follow what is the proper Bent
of this Genius, and turn all his Endeavours to
exert himself according as that prompts him.
Instead of this, which is an innocent Method
of enjoying a Man's self, and turning out of
the general Tracks wherein you have Crowds
of Rivals, there are those who pursue their
own Way out of a Sowrness and Spirit of
Contradiction: these Men do every thing
which they are able to support, as if Guilt
and Impunity could not go together. They
choose a thing only because another dislikes
it; and affect forsooth an inviolable Con-
stancy in Matters of no manner of Moment.

Cover'd with feathers of all sorts of birds;

Varies all shapes, and mixes all extremes.'

"Good-nature is more agreeable in Con-
versation than Wit, and gives a certain Air
to the Countenance which is more amiable
than Beauty. It shows Virtue in the fairest
Light, takes off in some measure from the
Deformity of Vice, and makes, even Folly
and Impertinence supportable.
"There is no Society or Conversation to
be kept up in the World without Good-
nature, or something which must bear its
Appearance, and supply its Place. For this
Reason Mankind have been forced to invent
a kind of Artificial Humanity, which is what
we express by the Word Good-Breeding.
For if we examine thoroughly the Idea of
what we call so, we shall find it to be nothing
else but an Imitation and Mimickry of Good-
nature, or in other Terms, Affability, Com-
plaisance and Easiness of Temper reduced
into an Art." 246-1-5.
"If we look into the Manners of the
most remote Ages of the World, we discover
human Nature in her Simplicity; and the
more we come downwards towards our own
Times, may observe her hiding herself in
Artifices and Refinements. Polished insen-
sibly out of her Original Plainness, and at
length entirely lost under Form and Cere-
mony, and (what we call) good Breeding.

'Don Quixote' is an Instance of the first
and Lucian's Gods of the second. It is a
Dispute among the Criticks, whether Bur-
lesque Poetry runs best in Heroick Verse
like that of the 'Dispensary;' or in Dog.
gerel, like that of Hudibras.' I think
where the low Character is to be raised, the
Heroick is the proper Measure; but when
an Hero is to be pulled down and degraded,
it is done best in Doggerel.
"If ' Hudibras' had been set out with as
much Wit and Humour in Heroick Verse as
he is in Doggerel, he would have made a
much more agreeable Figure than he does;
though the generality of his Readers are so
wonderfully pleased with the double Rhimes,

'We may observe, that in the First
Ages of the World, when the great Souls
and Master-pieces of Human Nature were
produced, Men shined by a noble Simplicity
of Behaviour, and were Strangers to those
little Embellishments which are so fashion-
able in our present Conversation. And it is
very remarkable, that notwithstanding we
fall short at present of the Ancients in
Poetry, Painting, Oratory, History, Archi-
tecture, and all the noble Arts and Sciences
which depend more upon Genius than Ex-
perience, we exceed them as much in Dog-
gerel, Humour, Burlesque, and all the trivial
Arts of Ridicule. We meet with more Rail-
lery among the Moderns, but more Good
Sense among the Ancients.
"The two great Branches of Ridicule in
Writing are Comedy and Burlesque. The
first ridicules Persons by drawing them in
their proper Characters, the other by draw-
ing them quite unlike themselves. Burlesque
is therefore of two kinds; the first represents
mean Persons in the Accoutrements of Heroes,
the other describes great Persons acting and
speaking like the basest among the People.
293-2-4.
"The slower Part of Mankind, whom my
Correspondent wonders should get Estates,
are the more immediately formed for that
Pursuit They can expect distant things
without Impatience, because they are not
carried out of their Way either by violent
Passion or keen Appetite to any thing. To
Men addicted to Delights, Business is an
Interruption; to such as are cold to Delights,
Business is an Entertainment. For which
Reason it was said to one who commended
a dull Man for his Application, No Thanks
to him; if he had no Business, he would
have nothing to do." 319-1-3.
"It has been observed, that Men of
Learning who take to Business, discharge
it generally with greater Honesty than Men
of the World. The chief Reason for it I take
to be as follows. A Man that has spent his
Youth in Reading, has been used to find
Virtue extolled, and Vice stigmatized. A
Man that has past his Time in the World,
has often seen Vice_triumphant, and Virtue
discountenanced. Extortion, Rapine and
Injustice, which are branded with Infamy
in Books, often give a Man a Figure in the
World; while several Qualities which are
celebrated in Authors, as Generosity, In-
genuity and Good-Nature, impoverish and
ruin him. This cannot but have a propor-
tionable Effect on Men, whose Tempers and
Principles are equally Good and Vicious.
"There would be at least this Advantage

Principle of Honour. This is the secret
Spring that pushes them forward; and the
Superiority which they gain above the un-
distinguish'd many, does more than repair
those Wounds they have received in the
Combat. 'Tis Mr. Waller's Opinion, that
Julius Cæsar, had he not been Master of the
Roman Empire, would in all Probability have
made an excellent Wrestler.
Great Julius on the Mountains bred,
A Flock perhaps or Herd had led;
He that the World subdued, had been
But the best Wrestler on the Green.
That he subdued the World, was owing to
the Accidents of Art and Knowledge; had
he not met with those Advantages, the same
Sparks of Emulation would have kindled
within him, and prompted him to distinguish
himself in some Enterprise of a lower Nature."
321-1-4.
"Besides these several Advantages which
rise from Hope, there is another which is
none of the least, and that is, its great
Efficacy in preserving us from setting too
high a value on present Enjoyments. The
saying of Cæsar is very well known. When
he had given away all his Estate in Gratui-
ties among his Friends, one of them asked
what he had left for himself; to which that
great Man replied, Hope. His Natural
Magnanimity hindered him from prizing
what he was certainly possessed of, and
turned all his Thoughts upon something more
valuable that he had in View. I question
not but every Reader will draw a Moral from
this Story, and apply it to himself without
my Direction." 674-1-2.

"If we consider attentively this Pro-
perty of Human Nature, it may instruct us
in very fine Moralities. In the first place, I
would have no Man discouraged with that
kind of Life or Series of Action, in which the
Choice of others, or his own Necessities,
may have engaged him. It may perhaps be
very disagreeable to him at first; but Use
and Application will certainly render it not
only less painful, but pleasing and satis-
factory.
"In the second place I would recommend
to every one that admirable Precept which
Pythagoras is said to have given to his Dis-
ciples, and which that Philosopher must
have drawn from the Observation I have
enlarged upon. Optimum vitæ genus
eligito, nam consuetudo faciet jucun-
dissimum, Pitch upon that Course of Life
which is the most Excellent, and Custom will
render it the most Delightful. Men, whose
Circumstances will permit them to chuse
their own Way of Life, are inexcusable if
they do not pursue that which their Judg.
ment tells them is the most laudable.
Voice of Reason is more to be regarded than
the Bent of any present Inclination, since by
the Rule above mentioned, Inclination will
at length come over to Reason, though we
can never force Reason to comply with
Inclination." 640-1-2.
The
Every Station of Life has Duties
which are proper to it. Those who are
determined by Choice to any particular kind
of Business are indeed more happy than
those who are determined by Necessity, but
both are under an equal Obligation of fixing
on Employments, which may be either useful
to themselves or beneficial to others. No
one of the Sons of Adam ought to think him-
self exempt from that Labour and Industry
which were denounced to our first Parent,
and in him to all his Posterity. Those to
whom Birth or Fortune may seem to make
such an Application unnecessary ought to
find out some calling or profession for them-
selves, that they may not lie as a burden on
the species, and be the only useless parts of
the Creation.' 825-2-5.

"If I attack the Vicious, I shall only set
upon them in a Body; and will not be pro-
voked by the worst Usage that I can receive
from others, to make an Example of any par-
ticular Criminal. In short, I have so much
of a Drawcansir in me, that I shall pass over
a single Foe to charge whole Armies. It is
not Lais or Silenus, but the Harlot and
the Drunkard, whom I shall endeavour to
expose; and shall consider the Crime as it
appears in a Species, not as it is circumstanced
in an Individual. I think it was Caligula
who wished the whole City of Rome had but
one Neck, that he might behead them at a
Blow. I shall do out of Humanity what
that Emperor would have done in the Cruelty
of his Temper, and aim every Stroak at a
collective Body of Offenders. At the same
Time I am very sensible, that nothing spreads
a paper like private Calumny and Defama-
tion; but as my Speculations are not under
this Necessity, they are no exposed to this
Temptation. 29-2-1.

Clergy, The. "We may divide the Clergy
into Generals, Field-Officers, and Subalterns.
Among the first we may reckon Bishops,

second are Doctors of Divinity, Prebendaries,
and all that wear Scarfs. The rest are com-
prehended under the Subalterns. As for the
first Class, our Constitution preserves it from
any Redundancy of Incumbents, notwith-
standing Competitors are numberless. Upon
a strict Calculation, it is found that there has
been a great Exceeding of late Years in the
Second Division, several Brevets having been
granted for the converting of Sabalterns into
Scarf-Officers; insomuch that within my
Memory the price of Lute-string is raised
above two Pence in a Yard. As for the
Subalterns, they are not to be numbred.

this kind of Life. I shall therefore retire
into the Town, if I may make use of that
Phrase, and get into the Crowd again as fast

"There is but one thing necessary to
keep the Possession of true Glory, which is,
to hear the Opposers of it with Patience, and
preserve the Virtue by which it was ac-
quired. When a Man is thoroughly per-
swaded that he ought neither to admire,
wish for, or pursue anything but what is
exactly his Duty, it is not in the Power of
Seasons, Persons, or Accidents to diminish
his Value: He only is a great Man who can
neglect the Applause of the Multitude, and
enjoy himself independent of its Favour.
This is indeed an arduous Task; but it should
comfort a glorious Spirit that it is the highest
Step to which human Nature can arrive.
Triumph, Applause, Acclamation, are dear
to the Mind of Man; but it is still a more
exquisite Delight to say to your self, you
have done well, than to hear the whole
human Race pronounce you glorious, except
you your self can join with them in your own
Reflections. A Mind thus equal and uni-
form may be deserted by little fashionable
Admirers and Followers, but will ever be had
in Reverence by Souls like it self. The
branches of the Oak endure all the Seasons
of the Year, though its leaves fall off in
Autumn; and these too will be restored with
the returning Spring." 652-2-1.
"He is a very unhappy Man who sets
his Heart upon being admired by the Multi-
tude, or affects a general and undistinguish-
ing Applause among Men. What pious Men
call the Testimony of a good Conscience,
should be the Measure of our Ambition in
this Kind; that is to say, a Man of Spirit
should contemn the Praise of the Ignorant,
and like being applauded for nothing but
what he knows in his own Heart he deserves.'

"Himself, in rustic pomp, on holydays,
To rural powers a just oblation pays;
And on the green his careless limbs displays:
The hearth is in the midst; the herdsmen,
round
The cheerful fire, provoke his health in
goblets crown'd.
He calls on Bacchus, and propounds the
prize,
The groom his fellow-groom at buts defies,
And bends his bow, and levels with his eyes:
Or, stript for wrestling, smears his limbs
with oil,
And watches with a trip his foe to foil.
Such was the life the frugal Sabines led ;
So Remus and his brother king were bred,
From whom th' austere Etrurian virtue
rose;
And this rude life our homely fathers chose;
Old Rome from such a race derived her
birth,
The seat of empire, and the conquer'd earth."

the Delight your late Spectators on Saturdays
have given me; for it is writ in the honest
Spirit of Criticism, and called to my Mind
the following four Lines I had read long

The Verses are addressed to the little
Criticks.
Shew your small Talent, and let that suffice

Seneca.
"Thus, when my fleeting days, at last,
Unheeded, silently, are past,
Calmly I shall resign my breath,
In life unknown, forgot in death:
While he, o'ertaken unprepared,
Finds death an evil to be fear'd,

Epitaph on a tomb in St. Pancras Church-
"Here Innocence and Beauty lies, whose
Breath
Was snatch'd by early, not untimely Death.
Hence did she go, just as she did begin
Sorrow to know, before she knew to sin.
Death, that docs Sin and Sorrow thus pre•
vent,
Is the next Blessing to a Life well spent."

Development. I lay it down as a maxim,
that though all are not capable of shining in
Learning or the politer arts; yet every one
is capable of excelling in something. The
soul has in this respect a certain vegetative
power, which cannot lie wholly idle. If it is
not laid out and cultivated into a regular and
beautiful garden, it will of itself shoot up

Active and masculine spirits in the vigour

rest. If they debar themselves from aiming
at a noble object, their desires will move
downwards, and they will feel themselves
actuated by some low and abject passion.
Thus if you cut off the top branches of a
tree, and will not suffer it to grow any higher,
it will not therefore cease to grow, but will
quickly shoot out at the bottom. 322-1-2.

"In sleep, when fancy is let loose to play,
Our dreams repeat the wishes of the day.
Though farther toil his tired limbs refuse,
The dreaming hunter still the chace pursues,
The judge abed dispenses still the laws,
And sleeps again o'er the unfinish'd cause.
The dozing racer hears his chariot roll,
Smacks the vain whip, and shuns the fancied
goal.
Me too the Muses, in the silent night,
With wonted chimes of jingling verse

describ'd as the State capable of the highest
human Felicity. Tully has Epistles full of
affectionate Pleasure, when he writes to his

all the Hints of this kind I have met with in
Writers of ancient date, I am pleas'd with an
Epigram of Martial, in honour of the beauty
of his Wife Cleopatra. Commentators say it
was written the day after his Wedding-Night.
When his Spouse was retir'd to the Bathing-
Room in the Heat of the Day, he, it seems,
came in upon her when she was just going
into the Water. To her Beauty and Carriage
on this occasion we owe the following Epi-
gram, which I shew'd my Friend Will.
Honeycomb in French, who has translated
it as follows, without understanding the
Original. I expect it will please the English
better than the Latin Reader.
"When my bright Consort, now nor wife\
nor Maid,
Asham'd and v anton, of Embrace afraid,
Fled to the Streams, the Streams my Fair
betray'd;
To my fond Eyes she all transparent stood,
She blush'd, I smil'd at the slight covering
Flood.
Thus thro' the Glass the lovely Lily glows,
Thus thro' the ambient Gem shines forth the
Rosc.
I saw new Charms, and plung'd to seize my
Store,
Kisses I snatch'd, the Waves prevented
more.
(C
My Friend would not allow that this
luscious Account could be given of a Wife,
and therefore used the word Consort; which,
he learnedly said would serve for a Mistress
as well, and give a more Gentlemanly Turn
to the Epigram.”

To the memory of Mr. John Sparkes, a
native of this city; he was a man of a mild
disposition, a gladiator by profession, who,
after having fought 350 battles in the principal
part of Europe with honour and applause, at
length quitted the stage, sheathed his sword,
and, with Christian resignation, submitted to
the grand victor in the 52nd year of his age.
Anno salutis humanæ, 1733- 625-2-n.
"Since I am talking of Death, and have
mentioned an Epitaph, I must tell you, Sir,
that I have made discovery of a Church-
Yard in which I believe you might spend an
Afternoon, with great Pleasure to your self
and to the Publick: It belongs to the Church
of Stebon-Heath, commonly called Stepney.
Whether or no it be that the People of that
Parish have a particular Genius for an
Epitaph, or that there be some Poet among
them who undertakes that Work by the
Great, I can't tell; but there are more
remarkable Inscriptions in that place than
in any other I have met with, and I may say
without Vanity, that there is not a Gentleman
in England better read in Tomb-stones than
my self, my studies having laid very much in
Churchyards. I shall beg leave to send you
a couple of Epitaphs, for a Sample of those I
have just now mentioned. They are written
in a different manner; the first being in the
diffused and luxuriant, the second in the
close contracted Style. The first has much
of the Simple and Pathetick; the second is
something Light, but Nervous. The first is
thus:
"Here Thomas Sapper lies interr'd. Al
why!
Born in New England did in London dye;
Was the third Son of Eight, begot upon
His Mother Martha by his Father John.
Much favour'd by his Prince he 'gan to be,
But nipt by Death at th Age of Twenty
Three.
Fatal to him was that we Small-pox name,
By which his Mother and two Brethren
came
Also to breathe their last nine Years before,
And now have left their Father to deplore
The loss of all his Children, with his Wife,
Who was the Foy and Comfort of his Life.
"The Second is as follows:
"Here lies the Body of Daniel Saul,
Spittle-fields Weaver, and that's all.
"I will not dismiss you, whilst I am upon
this Subject, without sending a short Epitaph
which I once met with, though I cannot
possibly recollect the Place. The Thought
of it is serious, and in my Opinion, the finest
that I ever met with upon this Occasion.
You know, Sir, it is usual, after having told
us the Name of the Person who lies interr'd
to lanch out into his Praises. This Epitaph
takes a quite contrary Turn, having been
made by the Person himself some time before
his Death.
"Hic jacet R. C. in expectatione dici
supremi. Qualis erat dies iste indicabit.
Here lieth R. C. in expectation of the
last Day. What sort of a Man he was, that
Day will discover." 737-2-4.

"MR. SPECTATOR,-The other Day,
walking in Pancras Churchyard, I thought
of your Paper wherein you mention Epitaphs,
and am of opinion this has a Thought in it
worth being communicated to your Readers.
"Here Innocence and Beauty lies, whose
Breath
Was snatch'd by early, not untimely Death.
Hence did she go, just as she did begin
Sorrow to know, before she knew to sin,
Death, that does Sin and Sorrow thus
prevent,
Is the next Blessing to a Life well spent.'
766-2-2.
"MR.SPECTATOR,-When Men of worthy
and excelling Genius's have obliged the
World with beautiful and instructive Writ-
ings, it is in the nature of Gratitude that
Praise should be returned them, as one
proper consequent Reward of their Perforin-
ances. Nor has Mankind ever been so de-
generately sunk, but they have made this
Return, and even when they have not been
wrought up by the generous Endeavour so
as to receive the Advantages designed by it.
This Praise, which arises first in the Mouth
of particular Persons, spreads and lasts
according to the Merit of Authors; and
when it thus meets with a full Success
changes its Denomination and is called
Fame. They who have happily arrived at
this, are, even while they live, enflamed by
the Acknowledgments of others, and spurred
on to new Undertakings for the Benefit of
Mankind, notwithstanding the Detraction
which some abject Tempers would cast upon
them: But when they decease, their Cha-
racters being freed from the Shadow which
Envy laid them under, begin to shine out
with greater Splendour; their Spirits survive
in their Works; they are admitted into the
highest Companies, and they continue pleas-
ing and instructing Posterity from Age to
Age. Some of the best gain a Character, by
being able to shew that they are no Strangers
to them; and others obtain a new Warmth
to labour for the Happiness and Ease of
Mankind, from a Reflection upon those
Honours which are paid to their Memories.
"The Thought of this took me up as I
turned over those Epigrams which are the
Remains of several of the Wits of Greece,
and perceived many dedicated to the Fame
of those who had excelled in beautiful poetick
Performances. Wherefore, in pursuance to
my Thought, I concluded to do something
along with them to bring their Praises into
a new Light and Language, for the En-
couragement of those whose modest Tempers
may be deterr'd by the Fear of Envy or De-
traction from fair Attempts, to which their
Parts might render them equal. You will
perceive them as they follow to be conceived
in the form of Epitaphs, a sort of Writing
which is wholly set apart for a short pointed
Method of Praise.

"On Orpheus, written by Antipater.
"No longer, Orpheus, shall thy sacred
Strains
Lead Stones, and Trees, and Beasts along
the Plains;
No longer sooth the boisterous Wind to sleep,
Or still the Billows of the raging Deep:
For thou art gone, the Muses mourn'd thy
Fall
In Solemn Strains, thy Mother most of all.
Ye Mortals, idly for your Sons ye moan,
If thus a Goddess could not save her own.
Observe here, that if we take the Fable
for granted, as it was believed to be in that
Age when the Epigram was written, the
Turn appears to have Piety to the Gods,
and a resigning Spirit in its Application.
But if we consider the Point with respect
to our present Knowledge, it will be less
esteem'd; though the Author himself, be-
cause he believed it, may still be more
valued than any one who should now write
with a Point of the same Nature.
On Homer, by Alpheus of Mytilene.
"Still in our Ears Andromache complains,
And still in sight the Fate of Troy remains;
Still Ajax fights, still Hector's dragg'd
along,
Such strange Enchantment dwells in
Homer's Song;
Whose Birth cou'd more than one poor
Realm adorn,
For all the World is proud that he was
born.'
"The Thought in the first part of this is
natural, and depending upon the Force of
Poesy: In the latter part it looks as if it
would aim at the History of seven Towns
contending for the Honour of Homer's Birth-
place; but when you expect to meet with
that common Story, the Poet slides by, and
raises the whole World for a kind of Arbiter,
which is to end the Contention amongst its

"On Anacreon by Antipater.
"This Tomb be thine, Anacreon; all
around
Let Ivy wreath, let Flourets deck the
Ground,
And from its Earth, enrich'd with such a
Prize,
Let Wells of Milk and Streams of Wine
arise:
So will thine Ashes yet a Pleasure know,
If any Pleasure reach the Shades below.'
CC
The Poet here written upon, is an easy
gay Author, and he who writes upon him
has filled his own Head with the Character
of his Subject. He seems to love his Theme
so much, that he thinks of nothing but pleas-
ing him as if he were still alive, by entering
into his Libertine Spirit; so that the Humour
is easy and gay, resembling Anacreon in its
Air, raised by such Images, and pointed with
such a Turn as he might have used. I give
it a place here, because the Author may have
design'd it for his Honour; and I take an
Opportunity from it to advise others, that
when they would praise, they cautiously
avoid every looser Qualification, and fix only
where there is a real Foundation in Merit.
"On Euripides, by Ion.
"Divine Euripides, this Tomb we see
So fair, is not a Monument for thee,
So much as thou for it, since all will own
Thy Name and lasting Praise adorns the
Stone.'
"The Thought here is fine, but its Fault
is, that it is general, that it may belong to
any great Man, because it points out no
particular Character. It would be better,
if when we light upon such a Turn, we
join it with something that circumscribes
and bounds it to the Qualities of our Subject.
He who gives his Praise in gross, will often
appear either to have been a Stranger to
those he writes upon, or not to have found
any thing in them which is Praise-worthy.
"On Sophocles, by Simonides.
"Winde, gentle Ever-green, to form a
Shade
Around the Tomb where Sophocles is laid;
Sweet Ivy winde thy Boughs, and intertwine
With blushing Roses and the clustring Vine:
Thus will thy lasting Leaves, with Beauties
hung,
Prove grateful Emblems of the Lays he
sung;
Whose Soul, exalted like a God of Wit,
Among the Muses and the Graces writ.
"This Epigram I have open'd more than
any of the former: The Thought towards
the latter End seemed closer couched, so as
to require an Explication. I fancied the
Poet aimed at the Picture which is generally
made of Apollo and the Muses, he sitting with
his Harp in the Middle, and they around
him. This look'd beautiful to my Thought,
and because the Image arose before me out
of the Words of the Original as I was reading
it, I venture to explain them so.
"On Menander, the Author unnamed.
"The very Bees, O sweet Menander, hung
To taste the Muses Spring upon thy Tongue;
The very Graces made the Scenes you writ
Their happy Point of fine Expression hit.
Thus still you live, you make your Athens
shine,
And raisc its Glory to the Skies in thine.'
"This Epigram has a respect to the
Character of its Subject; for Menander writ
remarkably with a Justness and Purity of
Language. It has also told the Country he
was born in, without either a set or a hidden
Manner, while it twists together the Glory of
the Poet and his Nation, so as to make the
Nation depend upon his for an Encrease of
its own.
"I will offer no more Instances at present,
to shew that they who deserve Praise have it
returned them from different Ages. Let these
which have been laid down, shew Men that
Envy will not always prevail. And to the
EPI
EQU
59
End that Writers may more successfully
enliven the Endeavours of one another, let
them consider, in some such Manner as I
have attempted, what may be the justest
Spirit and Art of Praise. It is indeed very
hard to come up to it. Our Praise is trifling
when it depends upon Fable; it is false when
it depends upon wrong Qualifications; it
means nothing when it is general; it is
extremely difficult to hit when we propose
to raise Characters high, while we keep to
them justly. I shall end this with transcrib-
ing that excellent Epitaph of Mr. Cowley,
wherein, with a kind of grave and philo-
sophic Humour, he very beautifully speaks
of himself (withdrawn from the World, and
dead to all the Interests of it) as of a Man really
deceased. At the same time it is an Instruc-
tion how to leave the Public with a good
Grace.

[The Publication of these Criticisms
having procured me the following Letter
from a very ingenious Gentleman, I cannot
forbear inserting it in the Volume, though it
did not come soon enough to have a place in
of
any my single Papers.
"Mr. SpecTATOR, Having read over in
your Paper, No. 551, some of the Epigrams
made by the Grecian Wits, in commendation
of their celebrated Poets, I could not forbear
sending you another, out of the same Collec-
tion; which I take to be as great a Compli-
ment to Homer, as any that has yet been
paid him.
Τίς ποθ' ὁ τὸν Τροΐης πόλεμον, &c.
Who first transcribed the famous Trojan
War,
And wise Ulysses' Acts, O Jove, make
known:
For since 'tis certain, Thine those Poems
are,
No more let Homer boast they are his
own."
"If you think it worthy of a Place in
your Speculations, for ought I know (by that
means) it may in time be printed as often in
English, as it has already been in Greek. I
am (like the rest of the World)
"Sir, Your great Admirer, G. R.
4th Dec.'
"The Reader may observe that the Beauty
of this Epigram is different from that of any
in the foregoing. An Irony is look'd upon
as the finest Palliative of Praise; and very
often conveys the noblest Panegyrick under
the Appearance of Satire. Homer is here
seemingly accused and treated as a Plagiary;
but what is drawn up in the form of an Ac-
cusation is certainly, as my Correspondent
observes, the greatest Compliment that could
have been paid to that Divine Poet.]"

Look not up with Envy to those above thee.
Sounding Titles, stately Buildings, fine
Gardens, gilded Chariots, rich Equipages,
what are they? They dazzle every one but
the Possessor: To him that is accustomed to
them they are cheap and regardless Things:
They supply him not with brighter Images,
or more sublime Satisfactions than the plain
Man may have, whose small Estate will just
enable him to support the Charge of a simple
unencumbered Life. He enters heedless into
his Rooms of State, as you or I do under our
poor Sheds. The noble Paintings and costly
Furniture are lost on him; he sees them not:
As how can it be otherwise, when by Custom,
a Fabrick infinitely more grand and finish'd,
that of the Universe, stands unobserved by
the Inhabitants, and the everlasting Lamps
of Heaven are lighted up in vain, for any
Notice that Mortals take of them? Thanks
to indulgent Nature, which not only placed
her Children originally upon a Level, but
still, by the Strength of this Principle, in a
great Measure preserves it, in spite of all the
Care of a Man, to introduce artificial Dis-
tinctions.' 874-1-2.

Equanimity. It would, perhaps, be run-
ning too far out of common life to urge, that
he who is not master of himself and his own
passions, cannot be a proper master of
another. Equanimity in a man's own words
and actions, will easily diffuse itself through
his whole family. 205-1-2.
((
When we are in the Satisfaction of
some Innocent Pleasure, or Pursuit of some
laudable Design, we are in the Possession of
Life, of Human Life. Fortune will give us
Disappointments enough, and Nature is
attended with Infirmities enough, without
our adding to the unhappy Side of our
Account by our Spleen or ill Humour.
Poor Cottilus, among so many real Evils,
a Chronical Distemper and a narrow Fortune,
is never heard to complain: That equal Spirit
of his, which any Man may have, that, like
him, will conquer Pride, Vanity and Affecta-
tion, and follow Nature, is not to be broken,

because it has no Points to contend for. To
be anxious for nothing but what Nature
demands as necessary, if it is not the Way
to an Estate, is the Way to what Men aim
at by getting an Estate. This Temper will
preserve Health in the Body, as well as
Tranquillity in the Mind. Cottilus sees the
World in a Hurry, with the same Scorn that
a Sober Person sees a Man Drunk. Had he
been contented with what he ought to have
been, how could, says he, such a one have
met with such a Disappointment? If another
had valued his Mistress for what he ought to
have lov'd her, he had not been in her Power.
If her Virtue had had a Part of his Passion,
her Levity had been his Cure; she could not
then have been false and amiable at the same
time.'
212-2-1.
"It is certain that to enjoy Life and
Health as a constant Feast, we should not
think Pleasure necessary, but, if possible, to
arrive at an Equality of Mind. It is as mean
to be overjoyed upon Occasions of Good-
Fortune, as to be dejected in Circumstances
of Distress. Laughter in one Condition is
as unmanly as Weeping in the other. We
should not form our Minds to expect Trans-
port on every Occasion, but know how to
make it Enjoyment to be out of Pain. Am-
bition, Envy, vagrant Desire, or impertinent
Mirth will take up our Minds, without we
can possess our selves in that Sobriety of
Heart which is above all Pleasures, and can
be felt much better than described. But the
ready Way, I believe, to the right Enjoy-
ment of Life, is by a Prospect towards
another to have but a very mean Opinion
of it. A great Author of our Time has set
this in an excellent Light, when with a
Philosophick Pity of Human Life, he spoke
of it in his Theory of the Earth, in the
following manner.
"For what is this Life but a Circulation
of little mean Actions? We lie down and
rise again, dress and undress, feed and wax
hungry, work or play, and are weary, and
then we lie down again, and the Circle
returns. We spend the Day in Trifles,
and when the Night comes we throw our
selves into the Bed of Folly, amongst
Dreams and broken Thoughts, and wild
Imaginations. Our Reason lies asleep by
us, and we are for the Time as arrant
Brutes as those that sleep in the Stalls or
in the Field. Are not the Capacities of
Man higher than these? And ought not
his Ambition and Expectations to be
greater? Let us be Adventurers for
another World: 'Tis at least a fair and
noble Chance; and there is nothing in this
worth our Thoughts or our Passions. If
we should be disappointed, we are still no
worse than the rest of our Fellow-Mortals;
and if we succeed in our Expectations, we
are Eternally Happy.' 213-1-2.

"Riches and Plenty are the natural
Fruits of Liberty, and where these abound,
Learning and all the Liberal Arts will im-
mediately lift up their Heads and flourish.
As a Man must have no slavish Fears and
Apprehensions hanging upon his Mind, who
will indulge the Flights of Fancy or Specula-
tion, and push his Researches into all the
abstruse Corners of Truth, so it is necessary
for him to have about him a Competency
of
all the Conveniencies of Life." 413-1-4•
"There are but two things which, in my
Opinion, can reasonably deprive us of this
Chearfulness of Heart. The first of these is
the Sense of Guilt. A Man who lives in a
State of Vice and Impenitence, can have no
Title to that Evenness and Tranquillity of
Mind which is the Health of the Soul, and
the natural Effect of Virtue and Innocence.
Chearfulness in an ill Man deserves a harder
Name than Language can furnish us with,
and is many degrees beyond what we
commonly call Folly or Madness.' 556-1-7.

A Man, who uses his best endeavours to
live according to the Dictates of Virtue and
right Reason, has two perpetual Sources of
Cheerfulness; in the Consideration of his
own Nature, and of that Being on whom he
has a Dependance. If he looks into himself,
he cannot but rejoice in that Existence, which
is so lately bestowed upon him, and which,
after Millions of Ages, will be still new, and
still in its Beginning. How many Self-Con-
gratulations naturally arise in the Mind,
when it reflects on this its Entrance into
Eternity, when it takes a View of those im-
proveable Faculties, which in a few Years,
and even at its first setting out, have made so
considerable a Progress, and which will be
still receiving an Increase of Perfection, and
consequently an Increase of Happiness? The
Consciousness of such a Being spreads a per-
petual Diffusion of Joy through the Soul of a
virtuous Man, and makes him look upon
himself every moment as more happy than he
knows how to conceive." 556-2-5.

several Instances; for upon my laying a
Weight in one of the Scales, which was in-
scribed by the word Eternity; tho' I threw
in that of Time, Prosperity, Affliction,
Wealth, Poverty, Interest, Success, with
many other Weights, which in my Hand
seemed very ponderous, they were not able to
stir the opposite Balance, nor could they have
prevailed, though assisted with the Weight
of the Sun, the Stars, and the Earth."

"MR. SPECTATOR,-I have always been
a very great Lover of your Speculations, as
well in Regard to the Subject, as to your
Manner of Treating it. Human Nature I
always thought the most useful Object of
human Reason, and to make the Considera-
tion of it pleasant and entertaining, I always
thought the best Employment of human
Wit: Other Parts of Philosophy may perhaps
make us wiser, but this not only answers that
End, but makes us better too. Hence it was
that the Oracle pronounced Socrates the
wisest of all Men living, because he judiciously
made Choice of human Nature for the Object
of his Thoughts; an Enquiry into which as
much exceeds all other Learning, as it is of
more Consequence to adjust the true Nature
and Measures of Right and Wrong, than to
settle the Distance of the Planets, and com-
pute the Times of their Circumvolutions."

Horace's Way of setting before Youth the
Infamous or honourable Characters of their
Contemporaries: That Poet tells us, this
was the Method his Father made use of to
incline him to any particular Virtue, or give
him an Aversion to any particular Vice.
says Horace, my Father advised me to live
within Bounds, and be contented with the
Fortune he should leave me ; Do not you see
(says he) the miserable Condition of Burrus,
and the Son of Albus? Let the Misfortunes
of those two Wretches teach you to avoid
Luxury and Extravagance. If he would
inspire me with an Abhorrence to Debauchery,
do not (says he) make your self like Sectanus,
when you may be happy in the Enjoyment
of lawful Pleasures. How scandalous (says
he) is the Character of Trebonius, who was
lately caught in Bed with another Man's
Wife? To illustrate the Force of this
Method, the Poet adds, That as a head-
strong Patient, who will not at first follow his
Physician's Prescriptions, grows orderly when
he hears that his Neighbours die all about
him; so Youth is often frighted from Vice, by
hearing the ill Report it brings upon others."

"All Superiority and Præeminence that one
Man can have over another, may be reduced
to the Notion of Quality, which, considered
at large, is either that of Fortune, Body, or
Mind. The first is that which consists in
Birth, Title or Riches, and is the most
foreign to our Natures, and what we can
the least call our own of any of the three
Kinds of Quality. In relation, to the Body,
Quality arises from Health, Strength, or
Beauty, which are nearer to us, and more a
l'art of our selves than the former. Quality,
as it regards the Mind, has its Rise from
Knowledge or Virtue; and is that which is
more essential to us, and more intimately
united with us than either of the other two.
"The Quality of Fortune, tho' a Man has
less Reason to value himself upon it than on
that of the Body or Mind, is however the
kind of Quality which makes the most shin-
ing Figure in the Eye of the World."

Friends and Friendship. "But the
Mind never unbends itself so agreeably as in
the Conversation of a well chosen Friend.
There is indeed no Blessing of Life that is
any way comparable to the Enjoyment of a
discreet and virtuous Friend. It eases and
unloads the Mind, clears and improves
the Understanding, engenders Thoughts and
Knowledge, animates Virtue and good Reso-
lution, sooths and allays the Passions, and
finds Employment for most of the vacant
Hours of Life." 148-1-3.
From Addison's Hymn.
Thy bounteous hand with worldly bliss
Has made my cup run o'er,
And in a kind and faithful friend
Has doubled all my store. 648-1-12.
<
Spencer speaks of each kind of Love
with great Justice, and attributes the highest
Praise to Friendship; and indeed there is no
disputing that Point, but by making that
Friendship take Place between two married
Persons.
Hard is the Doubt, and difficult to deem,
When all three kinds of Love together
meet,
And to dispart the Heart with Power
extreme,
Whether shall weigh the Ballance down; to
wit,
The dear Affection unto Kindred sweet,
Or raging Fire of Love to Womenkind,
Or Zeal of Friends combin'd by Virtucs
meet.
But, of them all, the Band of virtuous
Mind
Methinks the gentle Heart should most
assured bind.
For natural Affection soon doth cease,
And quenched is with Cupid's greater
Flame;
But faithful Friendship doth them both
suppress,
And them with mastering Discipline docs
tame,
Through Thoughts aspiring to eternal
Fame.
For as the Soul doth rule the Earthly
Mass,
And all the Service of the Body frame;
So Love of Soul doth Love of Body pass,
No less than perfect Gold surmounts the
meanest Brass. 701-2-1.
What, said Pisistratus, shall we do to
those who are our enemies, if we do thus to
those who are our friends?
751-1-1.
Hor. 1 Satire, v. 44.
The greatest blessing is a pleasant friend.
-Translation of Motto to Essay 100.
Hor. Ars Poct. ver. 434.

friend,
Till with full cups they had unmask'd his
soul,
And seen the bottom of his deepest thoughts."

"Who spend their treasure freely, as 'twas

By the large bounty of indulgent Heaven:

Smile at the doubtful tide of fate,
And scorn alike her friendship and her hate:
Who poison less than falsehood fear,
Loath to purchase life so dear;
But kindly for their friend embrace cold
death,
And seal their country's love with their de-
parting breath.'-Stepney.

Long as the year's dull circle seems to run
When the brisk minor pants for twenty-one;
So slow th' unprofitable moments roll,
That lock up all the functions of my soul;
That keep me from myself, and still delay
Life's instant business to a future day:
That task, which as we follow, or despise,
The eldest is a fool, the youngest wise:
Which done, the poorest can no wants endure,
And which not done, the richest must be poor."

Women's heads.
"One of the Fathers, if I am rightly in-
formed, has defined a Woman to be wov
piλokóσμov, an Animal that delights in
Finery. I have already treated of the Sex in
two or three Papers, conformably to this
Definition, and have in particular observed,
that in all Ages they have been more careful
than the Men to adorn that Part of the Head,
which we generally call the Outside.
"This Observation is so very notorious,
that when in ordinary Discourse we say a
Man has a fine Head, a long Head, or a good
Head, we express ourselves metaphorically,
and speak in relation to his Understanding;
whereas when we say of a Woman, she has a
fine, a long or a good Head, we speak only
in relation to her Commode.
"It is observed among Birds, that Nature
has lavished all her Ornaments upon the
Male, who very often appears in a most
beautiful Head-dress: Whether it be a Crest,
a Comb, a Tuft of Feathers, or a natural
little Plume, erected like a kind of Pinacle
on the very Top of the Head. As Nature on
the contrary has poured out her Charms in
the greatest Abundance upon the Female
Part of our Species, so they are very as-

Epitaphs on.
On Homer, by Alpheus of Mytilene.
"Still in our Ears Andromache complains,
And still in sight the Fate of Troy re-
mains;
Still Ajax Fights, still Hector's dragg'd
along,
Such strange Enchantment dwells in Ho-
mer's Song;
Whose Birth could more than one poor
Realm adorn,
For all the World is proud that he was
born.
"The Thought in the first part of this is
natural, and depending upon the Force of
Poesy: In the latter part it looks as if it would
aim at the History of seven Towns contend-
ing for the Honour of Homer's Birth-place;
but when you expect to meet with that
common Story, the Poet slides by, and raise
the whole World for a kind of Arbiter, which
is to end the Contention amongst its several
Parts. 783-1-3.

"MR. SPECTATOR,-Having read over
in your Paper, No. 551, some of the Epi-
grams made by the Grecian Wits, in com-
mendation of their celebrated Poets, I could
not forbear sending you another, out of the
same Collection; which I take to be as great
a Compliment to Homer as any that has yet
been paid him.
Τίς ποθ᾽ ὁ τὸν Τροΐης πόλεμον, &c.
Who first transcrib'd the famous Trojan
War,
And wise Ulysses' Acts, O Jove, make
known:
For since'tis certain, Thine those Poems are,
No more let Homer boast they are his
orun.
"If you think it worthy of a Place in your
Speculations, for aught I know (by that
means) it may in time be printed as often in
English, as it has already been in Greek. I
am (like the rest of the World) SIR,
4th Dec.
Your great Admirer, G.R.
"The Reader may observe that the Beauty
of this Epigram is different from that of any
in the foregoing. An Irony is looked upon as
the finest Palliative of Praise; and very often
conveys the noblest Panegyrick under the
Appearance of Satire. Homer is here seem-
ingly accused and treated as a Plagiary; but
what is drawn up in the form of an Accusa-
tion is certainly, as my Correspondent ob-
serves, the greatest Compliment that could
have been paid to that Divine Poet. 784-1-4.

Addison's analysis of their contents:-
PAPER I.
"The Perfection of our Sight above our
other Senses. The Pleasures of the Ima-
gination arise originally from Sight. The
Pleasures of the Imagination divided under
two Heads. The Pleasures of the Imagina-
tion in some respects equal to those of the
Understanding. The Extent of the Pleasures
of the Imagination. The Advantages a Man
receives from a Relish of these Pleasures. In
what respect they are preferable to those of
the Understanding.
PAPER II.
"Three Sources of all the Pleasures of
the Imagination, in our Survey of outward
Objects. How what is Great pleases the
Imagination. How what is New pleases the
Imagination. How what is Beautiful in our
own Species, pleases the Imagination. How
what is Beautiful in general pleases the Ima-
gination. What other Accidental Causes
may contribute to the heightening of these
Pleasures.
PAPER III.
"Why the Necessary Cause of our being
pleased with what is Great, New, or Beauti-
ful, unknown. Why the Final Cause more
known and more useful. The Final Cause
of our being pleased with what is Great.
The Final Cause of our being pleased with
what is New. The Final Cause of our being
pleased with what is Beautiful in our own
Species. The Final Cause of our being
pleased with what is Beautiful in general.

the Imagination than those of Art. The
Works of Nature still more pleasant, the
more they resemble those of Art. The Works
of Art more pleasant, the more they resemble
those of Nature. Our English Plantations
and Gardens considered in the foregoing
Light.
PAPER V.
"Of Architecture as it affects the Imagina-
tion. Greatness in Architecture relates either
to the Bulk or to the Manner. Greatness of
Bulk in the Ancient Oriental Buildings.
The ancient Accounts of these Buildings
confirm'd, 1. From the Advantages, for
raising such Works, in the first Ages of the
World and in the Eastern Climates: 2. From
several of them which are still extant.
In-
stances how Greatness of Manner affects the
Imagination. A French Author's Observa-
tion on this Subject. Why Concave and
Convex Figures give a Greatness of Manner
to Works of Architecture. Every thing that
pleases the Imagination in Architecture is
either Great, Beautiful, or New.
PAPER VI.
"The Secondary Pleasures of the Imagina-
tion. The several Sources of these Pleasures
(Statuary, Painting, Description and Musick)
compared together. The Final Cause of our
receiving Pleasure from these several Sources.
Of Descriptions in particular. The Power
of Words over the Imagination. Why one
Reader more pleased with Descriptions than
another.
PAPER VII.
"How a whole Set of Ideas Hang together,
&c. A Natural Cause assigned for it. How
to perfect the Imagination of a Writer. Who
among the Ancient Poets had this Faculty in
its greatest Perfection. Homer excelled in
Imagining what is Great; Virgil in Imagin-
ing what is Beautiful; Ovid in Imagining
what is New. Our own Country-man Milton
very perfect in all three respects.
PAPER VIII.
Dis-
"Why any thing that is unpleasant to
behold, pleases the Imagination when well
described. Why the Imagination receives a
more Exquisite Pleasure from the Descrip-
tion of what is Great, New, or Beautiful.
The Pleasure still heightened, if what is
described raises Passion in the Mind.
agreeable Passions pleasing when raised by
apt Descriptions. Why Terror and Grief
are pleasing to the Mind when excited by
Descriptions. A particular Advantage the
Writers in Poetry and Fiction have to please
the Imagination. What Liberties are allowed
them.
PAPER IX.
"Of that kind of Poetry which Mr.
Dryden calls the Fairy Way of Writing.
How a Poet should be Qualified for it. The
Pleasures of the Imagination that arise from
it. In this respect why the Moderns excell
the Ancients. Why the English excell the
Moderns. Who the Best among the English.
Of Emblematical Persons.
PAPER X.
"What Authors please the Imagination
who have nothing to do with Fiction. How
History pleases the Imagination. How the
Authors of the new Philosophy please the
Imagination. The Bounds and Defects of
the Imagination. Whether these Defects
are Essential to the Imagination.
PAPER XI.

treat of Subjects abstracted from Matter, by
Allusions taken from it. What Allusions

Who dies, to others too much known,
A stranger to himself alone.

extreme,

Whether shall weigh the Ballance down; |
to wit,
The dear Affection unto Kindred sweet,
Or raging Fire of Love to Womenkind,
Or Zeal of Friends combin'd by Virtues
meet.
But, of them all, the Band of virtuous
Mind
Methinks the gentle Heart should most
assured bind.
For natural Affection soon doth cease,
And quenched is with Cupid's greater
Flame;
But faithful Friendship doth them both
suppress,
And them with mastering Discipline does
tame,
Through Thoughts aspiring to eternal
Fame.
For as the Soul doth rule the Earthly
Mass,
And all the Service of the Body frame;
So Love of Soul doth Love of Body pass,
No less than perfect Gold surmounts the
meanest Brass."-Spenser. 701-2-2.

asked by a Friend, How he was able to dis-

finished; If any Domestick Affairs require
my Attention, I give myself up wholly to

"The famous Gratian, in his little Book

Reader to associate himself with the Fortu-

fortunate; which, notwithstanding the Base-
ness of the Precept to an honest Mind, may
have something useful in it for those who
push their Interest in the World. It is cer-
tain a great Part of what we call good or ill
Fortune, rises out of right or wrong Measures,
and Schemes of Life. When I hear a Man
complain of his being unfortunate in all his
Undertakings, I shrewdly suspect him for a
very weak Man in his Affairs. In Con-
formity with this way of thinking, Cardinal
Richelieu used to say, that Unfortunate and
Imprudent were but two Words for the same
Thing." 420-2-5:

"I know no two Words that have been
more abused by the different and wrong In-
terpretations which are put upon them, than
those two, Modesty and Assurance.
such an one is a modest Man, sometimes
indeed passes for a good Character; but at
present is very often used to signify a sheepish
awkward Fellow, who has neither Good-
breeding, Politeness, nor any Knowledge of
the World.
(
Again, A Man of Assurance, tho' at first it
only denoted a Person of a free and open
Carriage, is now very usually applied to a
profligate Wretch, who can break through
all the Rules of Decency and Morality with-
out a Blush.
"I shall endeavour therefore in this Essay
to restore these Words to their true Meaning,
to prevent the Idea of Modesty from being
confounded with that of Sheepishness, and to
hinder Impudence from passing for Assur-
ance.
"If I was put to define Modesty, I would
call it The Reflection of an Ingenuous Mind,
either when a Man has committed an Action
for which he censures himself, or fancies that
he is exposed to the Censure of others.
"For this reason a Man truly Modest is as
much so when he is alone as in Company,
and as subject to a Blush in his Closet, as
when the Eyes of Multitudes are upon him.'

"I remember Tully, speaking, I think,
of Anthony, says, That in co facetiæ erant,
quæ nulla arte tradi possunt: He had a
witty Mirth, which could be acquired by no
Art. This Quality must be of the Kind
of which I am now speaking; for all sorts of
Behaviour which depend upon Observation
and Knowledge of Life, is to be acquired :
but that which no one can describe, and is
apparently the Act of Nature, must be every
where prevalent, because every thing it
meets is a fit Occasion to exert it; for he who
follows Nature, can never be improper or un-
seasonable." 563-1-2.
Most men follow nature no longer than
while they are in their night-gowns, and all
the busy part of the day are in characters
which they neither become or act in with
pleasure to themselves or their beholders.
388-1-1.
"Nature does nothing in vain: the
Creator of the Universe has appointed every
thing to a certain Use and Purpose, and
determin'd it to a settled Course and Sphere
of Action, from which, if it in the least devi-
ates, it becomes unfit to answer those Ends
for which it was designed. In like manner
it is in the Dispositions of Society, the civil
Oeconomy is formed in a Chain as well as
the natural; and in either Case the Breach
but of one Link puts the Whole into some
Disorder. It is, I think, pretty plain, that
most of the Absurdity and Ridicule we meet
with in the World, is generally owing to the
impertinent Affectation of excelling in Cha-
racters Men are not fit for, and for which
Nature never designed them.
Every Man has one or more Qualities
which may make him useful both to himself
and others: Nature never fails of pointing
them out, and while the Infant continues
under her Guardianship, she brings him on
in this Way; and then offers her self for a
Guide in what remains of the Journey; if he
proceeds in that Course, he can hardly mis-
carry: Nature makes good her Engagements;
for as she never promises what she is not
able to perform, so she never fails of perform-
ing what she promises. But the Misfortune
is, Men despise what they may be Masters
of, and affect what they are not fit for; they
reckon themselves already possessed of what
their Genius inclined them to, and so bend all
NAT
NAT
112
their Ambition to excel in what is out of their
Reach: Thus they destroy the Use of their
natural Talents, in the same manner as
covetous Men do their Quiet and Repose;
they can enjoy no Satisfaction in what they
have, because of the absurd Inclination they
are possessed with for what they have not.
"Cleanthes had good Sense, a great
Memory, and a Constitution capable of the
closest Application: In a Word there was no
Profession in which Cleanthes might not
have made a very good Figure; but this
won't satisfie him, he takes up an unaccount-
able Fondness for the Character of a fine
Gentleman; all his Thoughts are bent upon
this instead of attending a Dissection, fre-
quenting the Courts of Justice, or studying
the Fathers, Cleanthes reads Plays, dances,
dresses, and spends his Time in drawing-
rooms; instead of being a good Lawyer,
Divine, or Physician, Cleanthes is a down-
right Coxcomb, and will remain to all that
knew him a contemptible Example of Talents
misapplied. It is to this Affectation the
World owes its whole Race of Coxcombs:
Nature in her whole Drama never drew such
a Part she has sometimes made a Fool, but
a Coxcomb is always of a Man's own mak-
ing, by applying his Talents otherwise than
Nature designed, who ever bears an high
Resentment for being put out of her Course,
and never fails of taking her Revenge on
those that do so. Opposing her Tendency in
the Application of a Man's Parts, has the
same Success as declining from her Course in
the Production of Vegetables; by the Assist-
ance of Art and an hot Bed, we may possibly
extort an unwilling Plant, or an untimely
Sallad but how weak, how tasteless and
insipid? Just as insipid as the Poetry of
Valerio; Valerio had an universal Character,
was genteel, had Learning, thought justly,
spoke correctly; 'twas believed there was
nothing in which Valerio did not excel; and
'twas so far true, that there was but one;
Valerio had no Genius for Poetry, yet he's
resolved to be a Poet; he writes Verses, and
takes great Pains to convince the Town, that
Valerio is not that extraordinary Person he
was taken for.
C
If Men would be content to graft upon !
Nature, and assist her Operations, what
mighty Effects might we expect? Tully
would not stand so much alone in Oratory,
Virgil in Poetry, or Cæsar in War. To build
upon Nature, is laying the Foundation upon
a Rock; every thing disposes its self into
Order as it were of Course, and the whole
Work is half done as soon as undertaken.
Cicero's Genius inclined him to Oratory,
Virgil's to follow the Train of the Muses;
they piously obeyed the Admonition, and
were rewarded. Had Virgil attended the
Bar, his modest and ingenious Virtue would
surely have made but a very
but a very indifferent
Figure; and Tully's declamatory Inclination
would have been as useless in Poetry.
Nature, if left to her self, leads us on in the
best Course, but will do nothing by Compul-
sion and Constraint; and if we are not satis-
fied to go her Way, we are always the greatest
Sufferers by it.
"Wherever Nature designs a Production,
she always disposes Seeds proper for it, which
are as absolutely necessary to the Formation.
of any moral or intellectual Excellence, as
they are to the Being and Growth of Plants;
and I know not by what Fate and Folly it is,
that Men are taught not to reckon him
equally absurd that will write Verses in
Spite of Nature, with that Gardener that
should undertake to raise a Jonquil or Tulip
without the Help of their respective Seeds.
"As there is no Good or bad Quality that
does not affect both Sexes, so it is not to be
imagined but the fair Sex must have suffered
by an Affectation of this Nature, at least as
much as the other. The ill Effect of it is in
none so conspicuous as in the two opposite
Characters of Cælia and Iras; Cælia has all
the Charms of Person, together with an
abundant Sweetness of Nature, but wants
Wit, and has a very ill Voice; Iras is ugly
and ungenteel, but has Wit and good Sense:
If Cælia would be silent, her Beholders would
adore her; if Iras would talk, her Hearers
would admire her; but Cælia's Tongue runs
incessantly, while Iras gives her self silent.
Airs and soft Languors; so that 'tis difficult
to persuade ones self that Cælia has Beauty
and Iras Wit: Each neglects her own Ex-
cellence, and is ambitious of the other's Cha-
racter; Iras would be thought to have as
much Beauty as Cælia, and Cælia as much.
Wit as Iras.
"The great Misfortune of this Affectation
is, that Men not only lose a good Quality,
but also contract a bad one: They not only
are unfit for what they were designed, but
they assign themselves to what they are not
fit for; and instead of making a very good
Figure one Way, make a very ridiculous one
another. If Semanthe would have been
satisfied with her natural Complexion, she
might still have been celebrated by the Name
of the Olive Beauty; but Semanthe has taken
up an Affectation to White and Red, and is
now distinguished by the Character of the
Lady that paints so well. In a word, could
the World be reformed to the Obedience of
that famed Dictate, Follow Nature, which
the Oracle of Delphos pronounced to Cicero
when he consulted what Course of Studies he
should pursue, we should see almost every
Man as eminent in his proper Sphere as
Tully was in his, and should in a very short
Affectation
time find Impertinence and
banished from among the Women, and Cox-
combs and false Characters from among the
Men. For my Part, I could never consider
this preposterous Repugnancy to Nature any
otherwise, than not only as the greatest
Folly, but also one of the most heinous
Crimes, since it is a direct Opposition to the
Disposition of Providence, and (as Tully ex-
presses it) like the Sin of the Giants, an actual
Rebellion against Heaven." Essay 404, p.

"As for those which are the most known,
and the most received, they are placed in so
beautiful a Light, and illustrated with such
apt Allusions, that they have in them all the
Graces of Novelty, and make the Reader,
who was before acquainted with them, still
more convinced of their Truth and Solidity.
And here give me leave to mention what
Monsieur Boileau has so very well enlarged
upon in the Preface to his Works, that Wit
and fine Writing doth not consist so much in
advancing Things that are new, as in giving
Things that are known an agreeable Turn.
It is impossible for us, who live in the lat[t]er
Ages of the World, to make Observations in
Criticism, Morality, or in any Art or Science,
which have not been touched upon by others.
We have little else left us, but to represent
the common Sense of Mankind in more strong,
more beautiful, or more uncommon Lights.
If a Reader examines Horace's "Art of
Poetry," he will find but very few Precepts.
in it, which he may not meet with in Aris-
totle, and which were not commonly known
by all the Poets of the Augustan Age. His
Way of expressing and applying them, not
his Invention of them, is what we are chiefly
to admire." 361-2-1.
"He has annexed a secret Pleasure to
the Idea of any thing that is new or uncom-
mon, that he might encourage us in the
Pursuit after Knowledge, and engage us to
search into the Wonders of his Creation; for
every new Idea brings such a Pleasure along
with it, as rewards any Pains we have taken
in its Acquisition, and consequently serves as
a Motive to put us upon fresh Discoveries."

Obscurity in language. 'Persius, the
Latin Satirist, affected Obscurity for another
Reason; with which however Mr. Cowley is
so offended, that writing to one of his Friends,
You, says he, tell me, that you do not know
whether Persius be a good Poet or no, because
you cannot understand him; for which very
Reason I affirm that he is not so.
"However, this Art of writing unintelli-
gibly has been very much improved, and
follow'd by several of the Moderns, who ob-
serving the general Inclination of Mankind
to dive into a Secret, and the Reputation
many have acquired by concealing their
Meaning under obscure Terms and Phrases,
resolve, that they may be still more abstruse,
to write without any Meaning at all.
This
Art, as it is at present practised by many
eminent Authors, consists in throwing so
many Words at a venture into different
Periods, and leaving the curious Reader to
find out the Meaning of them.
"The Egyptians, who made use of Hiero-
glyphicks to signify several things, expressed
a Man who confined his Knowledge and
Discoveries altogether within himself, by the
Figure of a Dark-Lanthorn closed on all
sides, which, tho' it was illuminated within,
afforded no manner of Light or Advantage to
such as stood by it. For my own part, as I
shall from time to time communicate to the
Publick whatever Discoveries I happen to
make, I should much rather be compared to
an ordinary Lamp, which consumes and
wastes it self for the benefit of every Pas-

"I think I ought not to conclude, with-
out interesting all my Readers in the Subject
of this Discourse; I shall therefore lay it
down as a Maxim, that though all are not
capable of shining in Learning or the Politer
Arts; yet every one is capable of excelling
in something. The Soul has in this Respect
a certain vegetative Power, which cannot lie
wholly idle. If it is not laid out and culti-
vated into a regular and beautiful Garden, it
will of it self shoot up in Weeds or Flowers
of a wilder growth." 788-2-3.
"It may be thought then but common
Prudence in a Man not to change a better
State for a worse, nor ever to quit that
which he knows he shall take up again with
Pleasure; and yet if human Life be not a
little moved with the gentle Gales of Hopes
aud Fears, there may be some Danger of its
stagnating in an unmanly Indolence and
Security. It is a known Story of Domitian,
that after he had possessed himself of the
Roman Empire, his Desires turn'd upon
catching Flies. Active and Masculine Spirits
in the Vigour of Youth neither can nor ought
to remain at Rest: If they debar themselves
from aiming at a noble Object, their Desires
will move downwards, and they will feel
themselves actuated by some low and abject
Passion. Thus if you cut off the top
Branches of a Tree, and will not suffer it to
grow any higher, it will not therefore cease
to grow, but will quickly shoot out at the
Bottom. 322-1-2.

"A Man's first Care should be to avoid
the Reproaches of his own Heart; his next,
to escape the Censures of the World: If the
last interferes with the former, it ought to be
entirely neglected; but otherwise, there can-
not be a greater Satisfaction to an honest.
Mind, than to see those Approbations which
it gives it self seconded by the Applauses of
the Publick: A Man is more sure of his Con-
duct, when the Verdict which he passes upon
his own Behaviour is thus warranted and con-
firmed by the Opinion of all that know him.'

"There is but one thing necessary to
keep the Possession of true Glory, which is,
to hear the Opposers of it with Patience, and
preserve the Virtue by which it was acquired.
When a Man is thoroughly perswaded that
he ought neither to admire, wish for, or pur-
sue any thing but what is exactly his Duty,
it is not in the Power of Seasons, Persons, or
Accidents to diminish his Value: He only is
a great Man who can neglect the Applause
of the Multitude, and enjoy himself inde-
pendent of its Favour. This is indeed an
arduous Task; but it should comfort a
glorious Spirit that it is the highest Step to
which human Nature can arrive. Triumph,
Applause, Acclamation, are dear to the Mind
of Man; but it is still a more exquisite Delight
to say to your self, you have done well, than
to hear the whole human Race pronounce
you glorious, except you your self can join
with them in your own Reflections. A Mind
thus equal and uniform may be deserted by
little fashionable Admirers and Followers,
but will ever be had in Reverence by Souls
like it self. The Branches of the Oak endure
all the Seasons of the Year, though its Leaves
fall off in Autumn; and these too will be re-
stored with the returning Spring." 252-2-1.

It were therefore a just Rule, to keep
your Desires, your Words and Actions, with-
in the Regard you observe your Friends have
for you; and never, if it were in a Man's
Power, to take as much as he possibly might
either in Preferment or Reputation.
Walks have lately been among the mercantile
part of the World; and one gets Phrases
naturally from those with whom one con-
verses I say then, he that in his Air, his
Treatment of others, or an habitual Arrogance
to himself, gives himself Credit for the least
Article of more Wit, Wisdom, Goodness, or
Valour than he can possibly produce if he is
called upon, will find the World break in
upon him, and consider him as one who has
cheated them of all the Esteem they had be-
fore allowed him. This brings a Commission
of Bankruptcy upon him; and he that might
have gone on to his Life's End in a prosper-
ous Way, by aiming at more than he should,
is no longer Proprietor of what he really had
before, but his Pretensions fare as all things
do which are torn instead of being divided."
297-2-2.
"And among those who are the most
richly endowed by Nature, and accomplished
by their own Industry, how few are there
whose Virtues are not obscured by the Ignor-
ance, Prejudice or Envy of their Beholders?
Some Men cannot discern between a noble
and a mean Action. Others are apt to attri-
bute them to some false End or Intention;
and others purposely misrepresent or put a
wrong Interpretation on them." 365-1-2.
"A solid and substantial Greatness of
Soul looks down with a generous Neglect on
the Censures and Applauses of the Multitude,
and places a Man beyond the little Noise and
Strife of Tongues. Accordingly we find in
onr selves a secret Awe and Veneration for
the Character of one who moves above us in
a regular and illustrious Course of Virtue,
without any regard to our good or ill Opinions.
of him, to our Reproaches or Commendations
As on the contrary it is usual for us, when we
would take off from the Fame and Reputa-
tion of an Action, to ascribe it to Vain-Glory,
and a Desire of Fame in the Actor. Nor is
this common Judgment and Opinion of Man-
kind ill-founded: for certainly it denotes no
great Bravery of Mind to be worked up to
any noble Action by so selfish a Motive, and
to do that out of a Desire of Fame which we
could not be prompted to by a disinterested
Love to Mankind, or by a generous Passion
for the Glory of him that made us." 365-2-1.

Nothing ought to be held laudable or
becoming, but what Nature itself should

"I would therefore propose the follow-
ing Methods to the Consideration of such as
would find out their secret Faults, and make
a true Estimate of themselves.
"In the first Place, let them consider
well what are the Characters which they
bear among their Enemies. Our Friends
very often flatter us, as much as our own
Hearts. They either do not see our Faults,
or conceal them from us, or soften them by
their Representations, after such a manner,
that we think them too trivial to be taken
notice of. An Adversary, on the contrary,
makes a stricter Search into us, discovers
every Flaw and Imperfection in our Tempers,
and though his Malice may set them in too
strong a Light, it has generally some Ground
for what it advances. A Friend exaggerates
a Man's Virtues, an Enemy inflames his
Crimes. A Wise Man should give a just

tions this in particular, that by the Re-
proaches which it casts upon us we see the
worst side of our selves, and open our Eyes
to several Blemishes and Defects in our Lives
and Conversations, which we should not have
observed, without the Help of such ill-natured
Monitors.
"In order likewise to come at a true
Knowledge of our selves we should consider
on the other hand how far we may deserve
the Praises and Approbations which the
World bestow upon us; whether the Actions
they celebrate proceed from laudable and
worthy Motives; and how far we are really
possessed of the Virtues which gain us Ap-
plause among those with whom we converse.
Such a Reflection is absolutely necessary, if
we consider how apt we are either to value
or condemn ourselves by the Opinions of
others, and to sacrifice the Report of our
own Hearts to the Judgment of the World.”

"A Man, who in ordinary Life is very
Inquisitive after every thing which is spoken
ill of him, passes his Time but very indiffe-
rently. He is wounded by every Arrow that
is shot at him, and puts it in the power of
every insignificant Enemy to disquiet him.
Nay, he will suffer from what has been said
of him, when it is forgotten by those who said
or heard it. For this Reason I could never bear
one of those officious Friends, that would be
telling every malicious Report, every idle
Censure that [passed] upon me. The Tongue
of Man is so petulant, and his Thoughts so
variable, that one should not lay too great
a Stress upon any present Speeches and
Opinions. Praise and Obloquy proceed very
frequently out of the same Mouth upon the
same Person, and upon the same Occasion.
A generous Enemy will sometimes bestow
Commendations, as the dearest Friend can-
not sometimes refrain from speaking Ill. The
Man who is indifferent in either of these Re-
spects, gives his Opinion at Random, and
praises or disapproves as he finds himself in
Humour." 630-1-3-

Originality. And here give me leave to
mention what Monsieur Boileau has so very
well enlarged upon in the Preface to his
Works, that Wit and fine Writing doth not
consist so much in advancing Things that are
new, as in giving Things that are known an
agreeable Turn. It is impossible for us, who
live in the lat(t)er Ages of the World, to
make observations in Criticism, Morality, or
in any Art or Science, which have not
been touched upon by others. We have little
else left us, but to represent the common
Sense of Mankind in more strong, more
beautiful, or more uncommon Lights. If a
Reader examines Horace's Art of Poetry, he
will find but very few Precepts in it, which
he may not meet with in Aristotle, and
which
were not commonly known by all
the Poets of the Augustan Age. His Way
of expressing and applying them, not his In-
vention of them, is what we are chiefly to
admire.' 361-2-1.

[Note.-Nothing more has been at-

so concise a piece of writing as this
criticism on Milton, than to afford a
clue to the leading observations.]
Paper I. Essay 267, p. 381.
Generally, The Fable. Can the Poem be
called an Heroic? Examination by the rules
of Epic Poetry. Opening of the Poem; com-
parison with the Iliad, and the Æneid. Ob-
servance of Unity. Combination of Variety

full of the Great. Peculiar difficulty of the
subject.

Paper III. Essay 279, þ. 399.
Generally, The Sentiments.
Definition
of Sentiments. More invention required in
Milton's characters than in Homer's or
Virgil's. Two kinds of Sentiment, the
Natural and the Sublime. General allu-
sion to mean thoughts in Milton. Only one
piece of pleasantry, and that nothing but a
string of puns; the most exceptionable
passage in the work.

world much divided. Perspicuity and Sub-
limity, the two chief requirements, satisfied.
Little blemishes in the work. Use of com-
mon idioms, metaphors, foreign modes of
expression, and old words. Extension, con-
traction, and coining of words. The English
language carried higher than ever, before or
since. Occasional stiffness and obscurity in
style. Metre. Elision. Homer, rather than
Virgil, the model of Milton's style.

"Those who have been present at public
Disputes in the University, know that it is
usual to maintain Heresies for Argument's
sake. I have heard a Man a most impudent
Socinian for Half an Hour, who has been an
Orthodox Divine all his Life after. I have
taken the same Method to accomplish my
self in the Gift of Utterance, having talked
above a Twelve-month, not so much for the
Benefit of my Hearers as of my self. But
since I have now gained the Faculty, I have
been so long endeavouring after, I intend to
make a right Use of it, and shall think my
self obliged, for the future, to speak always in
Truth and Sincerity of Heart. While a man
is learning to fence, he practises both on
Friend and Foe; but when he is a Master in
the Art, he never exerts it but on what he
thinks the right side.
"That this last Allusion may not give my
Reader a wrong Idea of my Design in this
Paper, I must here inform him, that the
Author of it is of no Faction, that he is a
Friend to no Interests but those of Truth and
Virtue, nor a Foe to any but those of Vice
and Folly. Though I make more Noise in
the World than I used to do, I am still re-
solved to act in it as an indifferent Spectator.
It is not my Ambition to increase the Number
either of Whigs or Tories, but of wise and
good Men, and I could heartily wish there
were not Faults common to both Parties

upon, without descending to those which are
peculiar to either.
"If in a Multitude of Counsellors there is
Safety, we ought to think our selves the
securest Nation in the World. Most of our
Garrets are inhabited by Statesmen, who
watch over the Liberties of their Country,
and make a Shift to keep themselves from
starving by taking into their Care the Pro-
perties of their Fellow-Subjects.
"As these Politicians of both Sides have
already worked the Nation into a most un-
natural Ferment, I shall be so far from en-
deavouring to raise it to a greater Height,
that on the contrary, it shall be the chief
Tendency of my Papers, to inspire my
Countrymen with a mutual Good-will and
Benevolence. Whatever Faults either Party
may be guilty of, they are rather inflamed
than cured by those Reproaches, which they
cast upon one another. The most likely
Method of rectifying any Man's Conduct, is,
by recommending to him the Principles of
Truth and Honour, Religion and Virtue;
and so long as he acts with an Eye to these
Principles, whatever Party he is of, he cannot
fail of being a good Englishman, and a Lover
of his Country." 794-2-8.

<<
Pers. Sat. ii. v. 3.
Thou know'st to join
No bribe unhallow'd to a prayer of thine;
Thine, which can ev'ry ear's full test abide,
Nor need be mutter'd to the gods aside!
No, thou aloud may'st thy petitions trust!
Thou need'st not whisper; other great ones
must;
For few, my friend, few dare like thee be
plain,
And prayer's low artifice at shrines disdain.
Few from their pious mumblings dare depart,
And make profession of their inmost heart.
Keep me, indulgent Heaven, through life
sincere,
Keep my mind sound, my reputation clear.
These wishes they can speak, and we can hear.
Thus far their wants are audibly exprest;
Then sinks the voice, and muttering groans
the rest:
'Hear, hear at length, good Hercules, my
Vow!
O chink some pot of gold beneath my plough !
Could I, O could I, to my ravish'd eyes,
See my rich uncle's pompous funeral rise;
Or could I once my ward's cold corpse attend,
Then all were mine! -Motto to Essay 391.

{
Pers. From thee both old and young
with profit learn
The bounds of good and evil to discern.
Corn. Unhappy he, who does this work
adjourn,
And to to-morrow would the search delay:
His lazy morrow will be like to-day.
Pers. But is one day of ease too much to
borrow?
Corn. Yes, sure; for yesterday was once
to-morrow:
That yesterday is gone, and nothing gain'd;
And all thy fruitless days will thus be drain'd,
For thou hast more to-morrows yet to ask,
And wilt be ever to begin thy task;
Who, like the hindmost chariot-wheels, are
curst,
Still to be near, but ne'er to reach the first."
-Dryden. Motto to Essay 89.
Imitated.
Hor. 1 Ep. i. 20.
"Long as to him, who works for debt, the
day;
Long as the night to her, whose love's away
Long as the year's dull circle seems to run
When the brisk minor pants for twenty-one :
So slow th' unprofitable moments roll,
That lock up all the functions of my soul;
That keep me from myself, and still delay
Life's instant business to a future day :
That task, which as we follow, or despise,
The eldest is a fool, the youngest wise:
Which done, the poorest can no wants en-
dure,
And which not done, the richest must be
poor."-Pope. Translation of Motto to
Essay 27.
Hor. 1 Od. xi. 6.
Thy lengthen'd hopes with prudence bound
Proportion'd to the flying hour:
While thus we talk in carelesss ease,
The envious moments wing their flight;
Instant the fleeting pleasure seize,
Nor trust to-morrow's doubtful light."

"C
In the next Place, our Criticks do not
seem sensible that there is more Beauty in
the Works of a great Genius who is igno-
rant of the Rules of Art, than in those of a
little Genius who knows and observes them.
It is of these Men of Genius that Terence
speaks, in opposition to the little artificial
Cavillers of his Time :
Quorum æmulari exoptat negligentiam
Potiùs, quàm istorum obscuram diligen-
tiam.
A Critick may have the same Consolation.
in the ill Success of his Play, as Dr. South
tells us a Physician has at the Death of a
Patient, That he was killed secundum artem. |
Our inimitable Shakespear is a Stumbling-
Block to the whole Tribe of these rigid
Criticks. Who would not rather read one of
his Plays, where there is not a single Rule
of the Stage observed, than any Production
of a modern Critick, where there is not one
of them violated? Shakespear was indeed
born with all the Seeds of Poetry, and may
be compared to the Stone in Pyrrhus's Ring,
which, as Pliny tells us, had the Figure of
Apollo and the Nine Muses in the Veins of
it, produced by the spontaneous Hand of
Nature, without any Help from Art."-

Reflect the sun, and raised on spires he

High o'er the grass hissing he rolls along,
And brandishes by fits his forky tongue.

Virg. Georg. ii. 527.
"Himself, in rustic pomp, on holydays,
To rural powers a just oblation pays;
And on the green his careless limbs displays:
The hearth is in the midst; the herdsmen,
round
The cheerful fire, provoke his health in
goblets crown'd.'
He calls on Bacchus, and propounds the
prize,
The groom his fellow-groom at buts defies,
And bends his bow, and levels with his eyes
Or, stript for wrestling, smears his limbs
with oil,
And watches with a trip his foe to foil.
Such was the life the frugal Sabines led;
So Remus and his brother king were bred,
From whom th' austere Etrurian virtue
rose;
And this rude life our homely fathers chose ;
Old Rome from such a race derived her birth,
The seat of empire, and the conquer'd earth."

and civilizing of Mankind. It is certain the
Country-People would soon degenerate into
a kind of Savages and Barbarians, were there
not such frequent Returns of a stated Time,
in which the whole Village meet together
with their best Faces, and in their clean-
liest Habits, to converse with one another
upon indifferent Subjects, hear their Duties
explained to them, and join together in
Adoration of the Supreme Being. Sunday
clears away the Rust of the whole week, not
only as it refreshes in their Minds the Notions
of Religion, but as it puts both the Sexes
upon appearing in their most agreeable
Forms, and exerting all such Qualities as are
apt to give them a Figure in the Eye of the
Village. A Country-Fellow distinguishes
himself as much in the Church-yard, as a
Citizen does upon the Change, the whole

"E'en times are in perpetual flux, and run,
Like rivers from their fountains, rolling on.
For time, no more than streams, is at a stay;
The flying hour is ever on her way:
And as the fountains still supply their store,
The wave behind impels the wave before;
Thus in successive course the minutes run,
And urge their predecessor minutes on.
Still moving, ever new; for former things
Are laid aside, like abdicated kings;
And every moment alters what is done,
And innovates some act, till then unknown."

Spells uncouth Latin, and pretends to

First with the Dogs, and King amidst the

"If in a picture, Piso, you should see
A handsome woman with a fish's tail,
Or a man's head upon a horse's neck,
Or limbs of beasts, of the most different
kinds,
Cover'd with feathers of all sorts of birds:
Would you not laugh, and think the painter
mad?
Trust me that book is as ridiculous,
Whose incoherent style, like sick men's
dreams,
Varies all shapes, and mixes all extremes.'

Hor. 1 Sat. i. 1.
"Whence is't, Mæcenas, that so few ap-
prove
The state they're placed in, and incline to
rove;
Whether against their will by fate imposed,
Or by consent and prudent choice espoused?
Happy the merchant! the old soldier cries,
Broke with fatigues and warlike enterprise.
The merchant, when the dreaded hurricane
Tosses his wealthy cargo on the main,
Applauds the wars and toils of a campaign:
There an engagement soon decides your
doom,
Bravely to die, or come victorious home.
The lawyer vows the farmer's life is best,
When at the dawn the clients breaks his
rest.
The farmer, having put in bail t'appear,
And forced to town, cries they are happiest
there :
With thousands more of this inconstant race,
Would tire e'en Fabius to relate each case.
Not to detain you longer, pray attend,
The issue of all this: Should Jove descend,
And grant to every man his rash demand,
To run his lengths with a neglectful hand;
First, grant the harass'd warrior a release,
Bid him to trade, and try the faithless seas,
To purchase treasure and declining ease:
Next, call the pleader from his learned strife,
To the calm blessings of a country life:
And with these separate demands dismiss
Each suppliant to enjoy the promised bliss:
Don't you believe they'd run? Not one will
move,
Though proffer'd to be happy from above."

False Wit continued. Age of the Monks:
The Æneid turned into rhyme; a book filled
with hexameters in which no more than eight
distinct words were employed. Anagrams.
Acrostics. Chronograms: found often on

Mixt Wit. Dryden's definition of Wit would

to foreign and trivial ornaments. Popular

1. A DEFINITION OF WOMAN.
"One of the Fathers, if I am rightly in-
formed, has defined a Woman to be ξῶον φιλο-
Kóσμον, an Animal that delights in Finery.
I have already treated of the Sex in two or
three Papers, conformably to this Definition,
and have in particular observed, that in all
Ages they have been more careful than the
Men to adorn that Part of the Head, which
we generally call the Outside.
This observation is so very notorious,
that when in ordinary Discourse we say a
Man has a fine Head, a long Head, or a
good Head, we express ourselves meta-
phorically, and speak in relation to his
Understanding; whereas when we say of a
Woman, she has a fine, a long, or a good
Head, we speak only in relation to her Com-
mode.'

Down to the dregs their sinking fortunes

And think no pleasure can be bought too
dear."-Dryden. Motto to Essay 295.
