		SPRAT, a marine fish (Clu pea sprattcts), named garvie in Scotland, one of the smallest species of the genus Clupea or herrings, rarely exceeds 5 in.
		Sprats are very often confounded with young herrings, which they much resemble, but can always be distinguished by the kdlowing characters: they do not possess any teeth on the palate (vomer), like herrings; their gill-covers are smooth, without the radiating striae which are found in.
		The sprat is one of the more important foodfishes on account of the immense numbers which are caught when tha shoals approach the coasts.

	Sabine Seiler
		Sprat summarized the Royal Society’s recipe for the new “plain” scientific style: it required the rejection of “all the amplifications, digressions, and swellings of style” and the adoption of “a close, naked, natural way of speaking; positive expressions; clear senses; a native easiness: bringing all things as near the Mathematical plainness, as they can” (113).
		Sprat made this notion part of his definition of the plain style, recommending a “return back to the primitive purity, and shortness, when men deliver’d so many things, almost in an equal number of words” (113).
		While in Sprat’s time languages were ranked based on their degree of “perfection” or “truth,” in the Romantic era they were classified based on how they combine their elements.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Abraham Cowley
		Abraham Cowley was born in 1618, the seventh and posthumous child of Thomas Cooley, a London stationer (or a grocer, as Cowley's early biographers speculated).
		Thomas Sprat, his earliest editor and his most earnest biographer, promotes him as a new type of the English poet, a bourgeois intellectual, the pattern of whose life could be a model for his generation.
		Sprat's own verse does not suggest a subtle ear, but it may be salutary to embrace his advocacy of near-prosiness, even if Cowley's Pindarics are not entirely persuasive demonstrations of its advantages.

		Lives of English men of letters begin in the seventeenth century, and from Rawley's _Life of Bacon_, Sprat's _Life of Cowley_, and the anonymous _Life of Fuller_ it is possible to extract passages which are in effect characters.
		But Walton's _Lives_, the best of all seventeenth century Lives, refuse to yield any section, for each of them is all of a piece; they are from beginning to end continuous character studies, revealing qualities of head and heart in their affectionate record of fact and circumstance.
