Addison reflected the national life
in the Spectator" Swift, the thun-
derbolt, hurled his darts at all; Pope
wrote his marvellous couplets; Rich

matchless eulogy. Cowper the saint
ly singer poured forth his heart in
plaintive notes. 1t was an age of

personality overshadows his works,
the idol of Boswell and the hero of
Carlyle. His ''Rasselas" is summed
UP in one sentence: HYou will rarely
meet one who does not think the
lot of his neighbor better than his
