IN PRAISE OF ADDISON,

BICENTENARY ADDRESS AT BILTON HALL.

Sir Harbert Warren, President of Magdalen Addison's College, delivered An address at Bil- tan Hall Rugby, on. "Ad- dison and His Work,"

on the occasion of the bicentenary.com- memoration here. Addison owned Bilton Hall and lived there between 1912 and 1719.

-

The speaker did not profess that Addison was great, but he was something better, not a blaz- ing comet of literature, but a fixed star abining with a pure, mild, constant light. His quality was perhaps silvern, rather than golden. England was the better" for his having lived. He was not, in Gray's phrase. "beneath the Good," he was among them. and of them, and therefore, as Gray would say, "above the Great." He was little artificial, but he was classic, academic, a scholar, and a Christian, like Johnson.

The Spectator displayed all Ad- dison. In it he pulled out all his stops. It was impossible in a few minutes to indicate what a gamut, how many modes and notes be covered. Dorian, Eolian, and Lydian, grave and gay, learned and light, but all blended with Attic taste. Addison was a classical scholar, but with- out a trace of pedantry. He had the French lightness and taste, but English seriousness. He was academic yet popular, imaginative Fet practical.
