Excerpt from Essay on Addison The excuse for the present edition of selections from Macaulay's essays may be found in an increasing interest in this author and in the subjects treated. It may be objected to the title that, from their lack of all analytic and sympathetic treatment, none of Macau lay's essays can be described as literary. The title is justified, however, by the author's purpose. The essays chosen for the compilation those on Milton, Dryden, Addison, Bunyan, Goldsmith, and Johnson cover a long period of time in our literary history and include a wide range of subject matter. Macau lay's Opinion of himself, that he constantly improved, may be judged by reading the collection here pre sented. The essay on Milton was his first note worthy attempt, and the 'essay on jofinson was among his last compositions. The editor's desire has been to collect essays which should be representative of their author and at the same time offer an attractive subject matter.
