Henry Grove : 'Novelty' [essay in The Spectator]

'Talking of "The Spectator", he said, "It is wonderful that there is such a proportion of bad papers, in the half of the work which was not written by Addison; for there was all the world to write that half, yet not a half of that half is good. One of the finest pieces in the English language is the paper on Novelty, yet we do not hear it talked of. It was written by Grove, a dissenting [italics] teacher [end italics]".'

Century: 1700-1799     Reader/Listener/Group: Samuel Johnson      Print: Serial / periodical
