Instead of being a skillful echo it is a series of independent judgments upon his con- temporaries. It is full of the author's own ideas and feelings expressed in the most unique and astonishing figures. The Essay on Man has a pre-eminence like that of the Criticism. It is the one successful didactic poem upon the subject of the divine government of the world. It says substantially all there is to be said upon the subject and says it more compactly and forcibly than any one else has succeeded i...n doing. Every scholar reads it and many of its phrases are current arguments and household words. Dr. Samuel Johnson and some others have disparaged and sus- pected it; but to paraphrase his own words the objec- tions " of single cavaliers can very little weaken the general evidence " afforded by public esteem. The professed purpose of the Essay is to vindicate the ways of God to man. Its theme is thus seen to be as old as religion and philosophy ; for all religions 102 ALEXANDER POPE and all philosophies are attempted explanations of God's government of the world.
