Excerpt from Spence's "Anecdotes, Observations, and Characters of Books and Men": A Selection; Edited With an Introduction and Notes
IN the month of June 1726 there appeared. At Oxford and in London a small volume of criticism upon an important translation then recently published. The critic was Joseph Spence, a young clergyman, and Fellow of New College, Oxford: the book criticised was a no less important work than Pope's translation of the Odyssey; and the criticism, which took the not altogether unusual form of a dialogue, was entitled an Essay on Pope's Odyssey.1 In itself, this essay is not a very notable performance, although its fairness and candour were considerably in advance of the criticism of the day. The writer was too much a gentleman to stoop to the petty vilification and abuse then popular among critics, while his keen poetic sense would not allow him to pass unreproved those faults which were, as a rule, lost sight of in the enthu siasm of adulation. His criticism, says Dr. Johnson.

Excerpt from Spence's "Anecdotes, Observations, and Characters of Books and Men": A Selection; Edited With an Introduction and Notes
The Essay on Pope's Odyssey may or may not be what Dr. Warton called it - a work of the truest taste. Its importance for us lies in the fact that it paved the way for one of the most memorable friendships of Pope's life. In what manner the poet first approached his critic cannot now with any degree of certainty be determined.
