"No whiter page than Addison remama,

He from the taste obscene reclaims our youth,
And sets the passions on the side of truth;
Forms the soft bosom with the gentlest art,
And pours each human virtue thro' the heart."-POPE.

PUBLISHERS' ADVERTISEMENT.

THE five volumes now offered to the public contain all of Addison's writings, inclusive of his contributions to the "Tatler," "Guardian," and "Spectator." The other parts of those celebrated works-namely, the papers of Steele, Swift, Pope, Tickell, &c.-will be given separately, in two additional volumes, uniform with this edition of Addison, thus forming a complete edition of the most remarkable essays in the English language.
