Quit-rent = a rent reserved in grants of land, by the payment of which the tenant is quieted or quit from all other service. ALEXANDER POPE. ~\ J? ALEXANDER POPE. The greatest literary character of this period is Alexander Pope. In his life we find much to admire and much to con- demn ; but we cannot deny him the tribute of greatness. With his spiteful temper and habitual artifice we can have no sym- pathy ; but we recognize in him the power of an indomitable will supported by genius and direct...ed to a single object. He triumphed over the most adverse circumstances. A lowly birth cut him off from social position ; his Roman Cath- olic faith brought political ostracism ; and a dwarfed, sickly, deformed body excluded him from the vocations in which wealth and fame are usually acquired. Yet, in spite of this combination of hostile circumstances, he achieved the highest literary distinction, attracted to him the most eminent men of his day, and associated on terms of equality with the proudest nobility.
