Sinopsis
Excerpt from The British Classics, Vol. 5: Containing the First Volume of the Spectator
Many succeeding Essayists have approxi mated very closely to some of the acknowledged excellencies of addison. Morality, imagery, wit and taste, are diffused with no sparing hand over their pages; but in the spirit and unity of their plan they have altogether failed, or fallen infinitely short of their celebrated pro totype.
The artful and finished construction, deed, of the design on which the Spectator is founded, is such, that the most perfect rules may be drawn from it for the regulation of this species of composition; and it is to be regretted that it has not more frequently met with liberal imitation from our numerous pe riodical writers. It must be obvious, that a mere series (if detached essays, without any de pendency of parts, without any organization which can constitute them a whole, can never make the impression, nor excite the lively in terest, which the well-arranged scheme of AD dlson so completely effects.
