It must not be forgotten that these utterances in 1759 preceded by only thirty years the struggle of the French Revolution. That came upon many a young heart as endeavour prompted by an ardent hope to raise men by one great effort to the higher ground that we seek now to reach only by slow and patient climbing.

Voltaire was about fifteen years older than Johnson; for he was born in February 1694, and Johnson in September 1709.
