Alexander Teixeira de Mattos translation
Joseph Addison (1672-1719) prepared himself for the diplomatic service by travel and study on the Continent (1699-1703). His works included a Letter from Italy in verse, written as he was crossing the Alps in 1701 and published in 1703, and Remarks on several Parts of Italy (1705). His tragedy of Cato was also written in Italy.—T.
