He appears to have had no learning, no critical knowledge, and to have lived in great distress. AVhen he died (which he did in an obscure house, the Minories), lie had about him the copy of a tragedy, which, it seems, he had sold for a trifle to Bentley, the book- seller. I have seen an advertisement at the end of one of L'Estrange T s political papers, offering a reward to any one who should bring it to his shop. What an invaluable treasure was there irretrievably lost by the ignorance and neg...lect of the age he lived in! Lee had a great command of language, and vast force of expression, both which the best of our dramatic poets thought proper to take for their models. Howe, in particular, seems to have caught that manner, though in all other respects inferior. The other poets of that reigti contributed but little to- wards improving the English tongue, and it is not certain whether they did not injure rather than improve it. Immorality has its cant as well as party, and many shocking expressions now crept into the language, and became the transient fashion of the day.
