Excerpt from The Books of All Time: A Guide for the Purchase of Books
Addison, Joseph [1672 Works. 6 v. - 3 v. $6. Never, not even by Dryden, not even by Temple, had the English language been written with such sweetness, grace, and facility. But this was the smallest part of Addison's praise. As a moral satirist he stands unri vailed. In wit, properly so called, Addison was not inferior to Cowley or Butler. W'e own that Addison's humour is, in our opinion, of a more delicious flavour than the humour of either Swift or Voltaire. - Macaulay.
