Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Satires of Decimus Junius Juvenalis: Translated Into English Verse I am about to enter on a very uninteresting subject: but all my friends tell me that it is necessary to account for the long delay of the following Work ; and I can only do it by adverting to the circumstances of my life. Will this be accepted as an apology? 1 know but little of my family, and that little is not very precise. My great-grandfather, (the most remote of it, that I ever recollect to have heard mentioned,) possessed considerable property at Hals-worthy, a parish in the neighbourhood of Ashburton ; but whether acquired or inherited, I never thought of asking, and do not know. He was probably a native of Devonshire, for there he spent the last years of his life; spent them too, in some sort of consideration, for Mr. T. (a very respectable surgeon of Ashburton,) loved to repeat to me, when I first grew into notice, that he had frequently hunted with his hounds. My grandfather was on ill terms with him : I believe, not without sufficient reason, for he was extravagant and dissipated. My father never mentioned his name, but my mother would sometimes tell me that he had ruined the family. That he spent much, I know ; but I am inclined to think that his undutiful conduct occasioned my great-grandfather to bequeath a part of his property from him.
