Addison and Watts.—Can any of your numerous readers inform me whether the hymn "When rising from the bed of death," so generally ascribed to Addison, and taken from the chapter on death and judgment in his Evidences of the Christian Religion, is his own composition, or that of the "excellent man in holy orders;" and whether this is Dr. Isaac Watts?
