Addison, Joseph (1672-1719) English essayist, poet, and statesman, whose work, particularly in the periodicals The Tatler and The Spectator, strongly influenced 18th-century English taste and opinion. Addison was born on May 1, 1672, in Milston, Wiltshire, and educated at the University of Oxford, where he distinguished himself as a classical scholar and later became a fellow. In 1699 he was granted a government pension, which he used to travel through Europe. In 1704, about a year after his return to England, Addison was commissioned by the government to write a poem celebrating the British victory that same year at the Battle of Blenheim, in the War of the Spanish Succession. His composition, "The Campaign" (1705), was such an aid to the Whig party, which was then seeking control of the British government, that his position in both politics and letters was firmly established. From 1708 to 1710 Addison served in Parliament as a Whig. In 1709 he became a contributor to The Tatler, a periodical founded by his friend the essayist Sir Richard Steele. Two years later, Steele and Addison founded another periodical, The Spectator, for which Addison subsequently wrote the finest of his many essays. Addison's literary reputation reached its highest point in 1713, when his tragedy Cato was produced in London. It was translated into several languages, and such influential critics as the French writer and philosopher Voltaire pronounced it the finest tragedy in the English language. In the opinion of most critics today, however, this play, an artificial and undramatic work, was overestimated by Addison's contemporaries.

24. Joseph Addison: CATO (A Tragedy In Five Acts) Cato (A Tragedy in Five Acts). by joseph addison (1672 1719). I take great pleasure in presenting the following rendering of joseph addison s play Cato . http://www.constitution.org/addison/cato_play.htm

Cato (A Tragedy in Five Acts) by Joseph Addison (1672 - 1719) Rendered with this introduction by Richard Lewis of Stoic Voice Journal I take great pleasure in presenting the following rendering of Joseph Addison's play Cato . I first became aware of the play while reading the writings of Jim Stockdale. In an essay on public virtue, he writes: "George Washington was so taken with the character of Cato the younger in Joseph Addison's 1713 play Cato that he made the Roman republican his role model. He went to see Cato numerous times from early manhood into maturity and even had it performed for his troops at Valley Forge despite a congressional resolution that plays were inimical to republican virtue. Washington included lines from the play in his private correspondence and even in his farewell address." ( Thoughts of a Philosophical Fighter Pilot , Hoover Press, 1995, p.75.) Of course, this perked my interest and sent me out in search of Cato . As fate would have it, I found a very worn 1848 edition of The Works of Joseph Addison in three volumes at our local college in Helena and was given permission to borrow the volume containing Cato for several months to copy the text.

Joseph Addison, "Taste" in The Spectator (No. 409), June 19, 1712 Most languages make use of this metaphor to express that faculty of the mind which distinguishes all the most concealed faults and nicest perfections in writing. We may be sure this metaphor would not have been so general in all tongues had there not been a very great conformity between that mental taste which is the subject of this paper and that sensitive taste which gives us a relish of every different flavor that affects the palate. Accordingly we find there are as many degrees of refinement in the intellectual facility as in the sense which is marked out by this common denomination. Addison goes on to narrate a story about a friend of his who had the uncanny ability not only to identify any sort of tea according to its taste, but to actually analyze combinations of teas, suggesting which two or even three sorts made up the mix. He suggests: A man of fine taste in writing will discern after the same manner, not only that general beauties and imperfections of an author, but discover the several ways of thinking and expressing himself which diversify him from all other authors, with the several foreign infusions of thought and language and the particular authors from whom they were borrowed. The ability, then, to discern what makes a writer is located within the body, connected with the skill, at once refined and innate, for breaking an object down into its components. We begin to see the potential development of classed and nationalized notions of taste: genetically superior or inferior capacities of understanding which inform or deform our ability to appreciate writing
