专家说明

The Vision of Mirza is an essay written by the writer and politician Joseph Addison (1672-1719). He published translations of Ovid and Virgil, as well as his own Latin verse. Alongside his old schoolfriend Richard Steele (1672-1729), Addison founded The Spectator on 1 March 1711, and The Vision of Mirza was published there on 1 September 1711.

We are grateful to Dr. Edward J. Nygren for his help in cataloguing this group of drawings.
