Side 310 - it must be owned, did not shine during his occupation of Holland House. He married, and was not happy ; he was made Secretary of State, and was not a good one ; he was in Parliament, and could not speak in it ; he quarrelled with, and even treated contemptuously, his old friend and associate, Steele, who declined to return the injury. Yet there, in Holland House, he lived and wrote, nevertheless, with a literary glory about his name, which never can desert the place; and to Holland House, while he...
Side 311 - It must have been very pleasing to Addison to befriend Milton's daughter ; for he had been the first to popularize the great poet by his critiques on " Paradise Lost," in the
