The s to ry o f . \ddison's career is pcnlliarly heautiful and changing. To s tudy the age in whicl1 he li,·ed . is to learn of the greatest transition era I it era tu re and society ha ,.c experi­enced. To trace the de,·elupmcnt of hi s nature from a happy youth to an ingenio u s manh o d , is t recPttnt the nobles t o f early biographies . To reYiew the inAuence of hi s literary acti,·ity, is t o ee the crumbling of o ]d ideals and principles and the molding of a public conscience for a grander destiny. FinaiJy, to gi\·e a true estimate of hi · character, is tu add the charm which has endeared him in the hearts o f a g reat pe )pte and ever pa ses o n to radiate with ennoblin n· purport.

Should we study Addison with ut a comprehensi , .e knowledge of hi · time., it w o uld detract fr ) Ill those feature~ which in\"ite. appreciation of a g-rand and noble life in a great and troublo u age.
