GOLDSMITH, OLIVER, Dr., born in Ireland, Nov. 10, 1728,

came rector of Lissoy parish, Kilkenny West, and here
the poet was brought up, and found the materials for his
Deserted Village. Graduated at Dublin College, he tried
law and medicine, made the tour of Europe on foot, and
returned to live by his pen. After extreme poverty, his
income, in 1773, was five to nine thousand dollars; but
he died ten thousand dollars in debt, though his writings
have placed the world infinitely more in his own debt.

the office of poet laureate; and in 1768 was appointed,
without solicitation, to the professorship of Languages and
History, at Cambridge, with two thousand dollars salary.
He never read lectures, however, and this delinquency
wore upon his enfeebled health. He finished several of

And little footsteps lightly print the ground.
