Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from On the Life, Writings, and Genius of Akenside: With Some Account of His Friends Having always esteemed the Pleasures of Imagination the finest didactic Poem in our language, it was with no small pleasure, that I accidentally discovered, some time since, a few Ms, notes of Akenside at the British Museum. These notes are not very important; but they led me to regret, - as, indeed, I had often done before, - that all the accounts, we have, of this great poet, should be so meagre and deficient: - and having formerly known two gentlemen, who had been intimately acquainted with him, I combined what I had heard them say of him with what was already known; and taking his works for a general guide - (and few speak more in their works than Akenside does) - I have, I hope, been enabled to give a correct and, perhaps, not altogether an uninteresting outline of a virtuous and high-minded man, gifted with very considerable poetical powers.
