What ho thought, he tliought rightly ; and his remarks were recommended by bis coolness and candour. In him Pope had the first experience of a critic without malevolence, who thought it as much his duty to display beau- ties as expose faults ; whoceu:iured with respect and praised with alacrity. Withtliis criticism Pope was so little offended, that he sought the acquaintance of the writer, who lived with him from that time in great fami- liarity, attended him in his last hours, and com- piled m...emorials of his conversation. The regard of Pope recommended him to the great and pow- erful ; and he obtained very valuable preferments in the diurch. ^ot long after, Popo was rctu miner home from a viitt in a friend's coach, whicli, in pass- ing a bridge, was overturned into the water: the windows were closed, and beins unable to ibrce them open, he was in danger of immediate death, when Che postillion snatched him out by breaking the glass, of which the fragments cut two of his fingers in such a manner that he lost their use.
