"Important in the history of the Scottish Enlightenment and 18th-century literature and thought, James Beattie (1735-1803) was a figure of high reputation and influence in a variety of fields, including philosophy, poetry, belles-lettres, education, language and religion. He varied and valuable works in prose and verse are presented here. They form important source documents for all scholars of 18th-century thought. Each features a comprehensive introduction by Beattie scholar Professor Roger J. Robinson. These literary essays were well received by the critics who praised Beattie's style and approach. The book continued to be highly regarded well into the 19th-century mainly for the essays' influence in forming a new literary taste and preparing the way for the ideas of the Romantics. ".
