THE

STORY OF ENGLISH LITERATURE.

"Consider what nation it is whereof ye are a nation not slow and dull, but
of a quick, ingenious, and piercing spirit; acute to invent; subtle and sinewy to
discourse; not beneath the reach of any point the highest that human capacity
can soar to: a nation of Prophets of Sades and of Worthies."
