The public has acquired some farther information respecting Milton, from Aubrey's Mis- cellanies, recently printed, and form- ing a most entertaining work: here we are told that John Milton's face was ovall; his eie a dark gray: that he was of middle stature; exceeding fayre; a spare man; temperate; extreme plea- sant in conversation, and at dinner, supper, &c. But satyricall: also, that he pronounced the letter R, very hard, which, Aubrey acquaints us, is a cer- K2 152 taine signe of a satyric...all witt, in Joint Dryderfs opinion. Yet, who is there that would not wish for something more of Milton!
Dr. Johnson's Lives of the Brit^h Poets, in defiance of the prejudices with which they are sullied, will doubt- less, for ages contribute to gratify all admirers of polished style and acute criticism; but had they contained what they almost totally want, the biogra- phical minutiae just referred to, they would have been, and continue to be read with tenfold pleasure.
133 LETTER XVI.
oTILL farther sources of indul- gence are opened to the reader in ob- servations upon the manner in which the author treats his subject ; where, in style and sentiment, he exceeds ex- pectation, and where he disappoints it ; where he accidentally coincides \vith other writers, borrows from them un- intentionally, or designedly makes use of their bright and applicable thoughts.
