To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Alexander Pope is, as has been extensively recognized, clearly the largest debtor. His poetry is not only, as Stephen says (Diet, of Nat. Biog. , Vol. XLVL, p. 124), the essence of the first half of the eighteenth century, but in its more im- portant parts it is almost literally a reproduction of Shaftes- bury. To show this, as well as for the sake of the greater emphasis thereby given to the main insistences of our author, we give to the subject a little more particular and extended illustra...tion. Like Shaftesbury, Pope rears the structure of his poetical teaching upon the conception of a whole consisting of God and Nature: U A11 are but parts of one stupendous whole, Whose body Nature is, and God the soul. " (Essay, Epistle I. ) This whole exists in organic inner relation. A chain of love unites all below and all above. "Nothing is foreign; parts relate to whole; One all-extending, all-preserving Soul Connects each being, greatest with the least. " (Ibid. , III. ) To understand a part requires knowledge of the whole of which it is a part.
