About this ebook
This 1887 edition of Pope's great philosophical and satirical poem—originally published in 1733-34—contains an introduction by series editor Henry Morley. This masterwork attempts to “vindicate the ways of God to man.” Voltaire described the poem as, “the most beautiful, the most useful, the most sublime didactic poem ever written in any language.” In addition to the "Essay on Man," Pope's “Satires” and “Moral Essays” are included in this volume.
