Excerpt from Remarks on Dr. Southey's "Vindiciæ Ecclesiæ Anglicanæ": Addressed to All Liberal-Minded English-Men, and Lovers of TruthA degree of enthusiasm is generally considered requisite to constitute the character of a Poet; and that Dr. Southey is a Poet but few will deny. As a writer, in prose as well as in verse, he may also be allowed to have considerable merit, however we may condemn his narrow and illiberal-principles as a Politician or Theologian. His works are numerous and tniscel-a laneous; and, Proteus-like, he can change his style and - sentiments, agreeably to the subject he has in hand. In Don Espriella's Letters, he writes like a Catholic,-in Wat Tyler's Drama, like a Radical,-ih the Life of Mr. Westley,_like a Methodist,-and, in his Book of the Church.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
