Description
A miscellaneous piece titled 'The Deaths of Great Men' remarks how 'deeply interesting' it is to ponder the death-bed scene of those geniuses who are immortalized by their fame. Hallet, the great physiologist, died taking his pulse, it is said. Petrarch died leaning on a book and Chaucer died writing a ballad titled 'A Ballad made by Geoffrey Chaucer on his death-bed, lying in great anguish.' We can see where this opinion piece is going! Pope, Godfrey Kneller, Bishop Newton, Nelson, Lord Chesterfield, Sir Thomas More all enjoy similar treatment.
