Excerpt from The History of English Poetry, From the Close of the Eleventh to the Commencement of the Eighteenth Century, Vol. 1: To Which Are Prefixed Two Dissertations, I. On the Origin of Romantic Fiction in Europe, II. On the Introduction of Learning Into England In an age advanced to the highest degree of refinement, that specious of refinement, that of curiosity commences, which is burned in contemplating the progress of social life, in displaying the graduation of s Science, and in tracing the transactions from barbarism to civility. That these speculations should become the favorite pursuits, and the fashionable topics, of such a period, is extremely natural. We look back on the savage condition of our ancestors with the triumph of superiority; we are pleased to mark the steps by which we have been raised from rudeness to elegance: and our reflections on this subject: are accompanied with a conscious pride, arising in great measure from a tacit companion of the infinite disproportion between the feeble efforts of remote ages, and our present improvements in knowledge.
