Pupil Teachers at the end of the first year have to "repeat forty consecutive lines of prose." We have selected two passages from good English authors, from which they will be able to choose the lines to be repeated. Reflections in Westminster Abbey. (From The Spectator, No. 26, Friday, March 30, 1711.) Joseph Addison, born at Milston in Wiltshire, 1672. After receiving some tuition in the country, he was sent to Charterhouse School in London, where he became acquainted with Richard Steele. In 1687 he was sent to Oxford, and gained his degree of M.A. at Magdalen College, 1693. His poetry soon attracted attention, and he obtained a pension of £300 a year from the Crown, to enable him to travel, with a view to his being employed in the diplomatic service. His pension ceased on the death of William III. His poem of "The Campaign" made him celebrated. In 1706 he was appointed Under-secretary of State. He held various offices under the Government from time to time, and published many famous literary works, all characterized by a quiet and graceful style peculiarly his own. In 1717 he became Secretary of State, but soon after retired with a pension. He died at Holland House, Kensington, 1719. His chief works are Papers in the Spectator, Tatler, and Guardian; "The Campaign," a poem celebrating the victory of Blenheim; "Cato," a tragedy; and "The Drummer," a comedy. When I am in a serious humour, I very often walk by myself in Westminster Abbey; where the gloominess of the place, and the use to which it is applied, with the solemnity of the building, and the condition of the people who lie in it, are apt to fill the 5 mind with a kind of melancholy, or rather thoughtfulness, that is not disagreeable. I yesterday passed a whole afternoon in the church-yard, the cloisters, and the church, amusing myself with the tomb-stones and inscriptions that I met with in those several regions of the dead. Most of them recorded 10 nothing else of the buried person, but that he was born upon one day, and died upon another; the whole history of his life being comprehended in those two circumstances that are common to all mankind. I could not but look upon these registers of existence, whether of brass or marble, as a kind of satire upon the 15 departed persons; who had left no other memorial of them, but that they were born, and that they died. They put me in mind of several persons mentioned in the battles of heroic poems, who have sounding names given them, for no other reason but that they may be killed, and are celebrated for nothing but being 20 knocked on the head. The life of these men is finely described in holy writ by "the path of an arrow," which is immediately closed up and lost. Upon my going into the church, I entertained myself with the digging of a grave; and saw in every shovel-ful of it that was 25 thrown up, the fragment of a bone or skull intermixt with a kind of fresh mouldering earth, that some time or other had a place in the composition of an human body. Upon this I began to consider with myself, what innumerable multitudes of people lay confused together under the pavement of that ancient cathedral; how men and women, friends and enemies, priests and soldiers, monks and prebendaries, were crumbled amongst one another, and blended together in the same common mass; how beauty, strength, and youth, with old age, weakness, and deformity, lay undistinguished in the same promiscuous heap of matter. 30 35 After having thus surveyed this great magazine of mortality, as it were in the lump, I examined it more particularly by the |
