Well, then there's everyone from Addison and Steele, through Swift and on up through Gibbon and all that lot. Latinate writing, lots of it. You'll see it in the late 17th century as well, although not so much in Defoe and not really at all in Bunyan.

I'm not sure how you would classify Monk Lewis, given his subject matter--early Gothick/romantic?
