Goldsmith's World-Wideness.

One of the most memorable things to be remarked in Goldsmith is the note of world-wideness which he introduced into literature. There is a total absence in him of local prejudice, which is in strong contrast with the vigorous and almost' barbaric insularity of Johnson. He had once thought of emigrating to America, and would have done so but for one of those humorous Incidents so common in his haphazard life.
