IN acquired knowledge, the superiori...ty must be al- lowed to Dryden, whose education was more scholastic, and who, before he became an author, had been allowed more time for study, with better means of information. His mind has a larger range, and he collects his images and illustrations from a more extensive circumference of science. Dryden knew more of man, in his general na- ture ; and Pope, in his local manners. The notions of Dryden were formed by comprehensive speculation ; those of Pope, by minute attention. There is more dig- nity in the knowledge of Dryden, and more certainty in that of Pope.
