Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Translation of Juvenal and Persius Into English Verse: With I. A Chronology Adapted to Their Writings; II. An Essay on the Satire of the Ancients, and the Abuses of Modern Satire; And III. A Confutation of the Censure Past Upon the First Edition of This Work by the Critical Reviewers The original text with English notes (contained in the first volume) is a publication, it is presumed, that needs no apology. There are but few masters, who wish not to see the animated Juvenal rendered a safe author, and the sententious Persius rendered generally intelligible, for the instruction of youth. This plan (especially with respect Juvenal) rendered a new translation necessary. For Juvenal is not to be understood without helps; and the translation by several hands, which goes under Dryden´s name, is not only unworthy, but incapable, of being adapted to any Latin text; much more to a correct, chaste text. Every one, who knows any thing of Juvenal, will acknowledge this fact. The translator´s ability to supply this defect, is the only question; and this must be left to the public judgment.
