Book Description
Excerpt from The Traveller, the Deserted Village, and Other Poems Dr. Johnson pronounced the traveller to be the finest poem that had appeared since the time of u Pope {and this measured encomium, dictated by the great Aristarch Of British Poets, was probably sufh cient to content the ambition of the author. The Poem exhibits all the terseness, the polished versifi cation, and the smartness of the author of the Essay on Man, whose style was the model of the poetasters of the day: but there is an originality in Goldsmith, which entitles him to rank higher than the highest form in the school of Pope. In his style, he may perhaps be considered-as an mater: his thoughts are always his own, and are impressed with the simplicity of his character.
