 The Pleasures of Imagination
The judicious admirer of Akenside will not call people from the fields and the highways to partake of his feast; he will wish none to read that are not capable or understanding him.
He sat down to this work, which was published at the early age of three and twenty, warm from the schools of ancient philosophy, whose spirit he had deeply imbibed, and full of enthusiasm for the treasures of Greek and Roman literature.
If the genius of Akenside be to be estimated from this Poem, and it is certainly the most capital of his works, it will be found to be lofty and elegant, chaste, classical, and correct; not marked with strong traits of originality, not ardent, nor exuberant.

 The Literary Gothic | Mark Akenside   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
English physician, classicist, and poet, one of the minor members of the Graveyard School, Akenside is best known for The Pleasures of Imagination, published in 1744.
(The work was popular enough that Tobias Smollet would satirize Akenside in The Adventures of Peregrine Pickle.) In the mid-1750s Akenside began (but did not complete) a revision of the poem, retitled The Pleasures of the Imagination — a decidedly unimaginative re-titling, it seems to me — but most critics prefer the original version.
This discussion of Akenside's poetic achievement is from Samuel Johnson's Lives of the English Poets (1779).

Furthermore, the well-educated Lickbarrow may well have known the work of another northern poet, Mark Akenside, published about half a century earlier and which FR Leavis described as anticipating Wordsworth.
For the benefit of Phil Whitaker and any readers confused by his review, "duality" and "dualism" do not mean the same thing and are not interchangeable ("Who am I?", August 7).

Marjorie Hope Nicolson describes “a gratification in the richness, fullness, vastness of a universe man might not intellectually comprehend, yet which satisfie[s] his unquiet soul”.
(Nicolson, 1959) Mark Akenside alludes to a similar relief gained from the sublime in The Pleasures of Imagination (1744).
In Akenside, the sublime in Nature guides our imaginations to Heaven; the sublime experience releases us from the strictures of balancing sense perception with reason, by raising us to a higher plane of existence.
