Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Essays on Goldsmith
Thackeray, on the other hand, whom the calm virtue of Addison irritates into injustice, finds in Goldsmith a subject made to his hand. Saints stimulate him to become devil's advocate, but sinners - whose sins have no taint of meanness or cruelty - can often find a soft corner in the satirist's heart.
