   extent, but by no means exclusively, on certain books speci-
   fied each year by the Commissioners. The names placed
   under the dates are intended to suggest the general character
   of the literary development of the period, and, consequently,
   the natural limits of the examination. All the works of Shake-
   speare, for example, will be regarded as falling within the
   period 1600 to 1700; all the works of Swift within the period
   1700 to 1800; all the works of Scott and Wordsworth, and
   all the works of Macaulay, within the period 1800 to 1832.
