| | Joseph Addison (1672-1719) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) |
 | | JOSEPH ADDISON was born on the first of May, 1672, at Milston, of which his father, Lancelot Addison, was then rector, near Ambrosbury in Wiltshire, and appearing weak and unlikely to live he was christened the same day. |
 | | It is reasonable to suppose that Addison counteracted, as far as he was able, the malignant and blasting influence of the Lieutenant, and that at least by his intervention some good was done, and some mischief prevented. |
 | | Addison: it is to be wished that it could be found, for the sake of comparing their version of the soliloquy with that of Bland. |
