Excerpt from Macaulay's Essays on Milton and Addison: Edited for School Use Praed has left this description of him There came up a short, manly figure, marvelously upright, with a bad neckcloth, and one hand in his waistcoat-pocket. We read here, easily enough, brusqueness, pre cision without fastidiousness, and self-confidence. These are all prominent traits of the man, and they all show in his work. Add kindness and moral rectitude, which scarcely show there, and humor, which shows only in asomewhat unpleasant light, and you have a fair portrait. Now these are manifestly the attributes of a man who knows what worldly comfort and physical well-being are, a man of good digestive and assimilative powers, well-fed, incapable of worry, born to succeed.
