Joseph Addison embarked on the Grand Tour in 1699 and commented in Remarks on Several Parts of Italy etc. that "The Alps fill the mind with an agreeable kind of horror".Joseph Addison, Remarks on Several Parts of Italy etc. in the years 1701, 1702, 1703. 1773 edition, printed for T. Walker. Chapter on ‘Geneva and the Lake’: 261 Located on Google books, accessed 11.12.07 The significance of Addison's concept of the sublime is that the three pleasures of the imagination that he identified ; greatness, uncommonness, and beauty , "arise from visible objects" ( that is, from sight rather than from rhetoric ) .
