Synopsis
Excerpt from The Works of the English Poets, Vol. 55: With Prefaces, Biographical and Critical
After thefe parts of the fubjeft which hold chiefly of admiration, or naturally warm and interelt the mind, a pleafure of a very different nature, that which arires from ridicule, came next to be confidered. As this is the foundation of the comic manner in all the arts, and has been but very imperfefily treated by mo ral writers, it was thought proper to give it aparticular illultration, and to diltinguilh the general fources from which the ridicule of characters is derived. Here too a change of firle' became necefl'ary; fach a one as might yet be confident, if poflible, with the gene ral tafte of compofrtion in the ferions parts of the fub jeét nor is it an eafy tail: to give any tolerable force to images of this kind, without running either into the gigantic expreflions of the mock heroic, or the familiar and poetical raillery of profefl'cd fatire; nei ther of which would have been proper here.
