Henry Morley gathers Addison papers from the Spectator and Tatler not centred on Sir Roger de Coverley. Here are essays on public credit, household superstitions, the Italian opera and its lions, lampoons and true and false humour, the visit of four Iroquois chiefs to London, the allegorical ‘Vision of Marraton’, and the famous series of papers on wit.
Graceful, good-humoured prose that set the model for the English periodical essay. Download the free EPUB.
