Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works of Horace There are many, I feel assured, who not only admire the Horatian literature but take an interest, and a keen one, in difficult and contested passages; and who, being amiable in disposition and unprejudiced in mind, are ready to welcome any light that can be thrown, or even but attempted to be thrown, on them. For them this little work of mine has been written; and to them I desire to dedicate it, since I do not doubt that they will deem it immaterial whether it proceeds from the Head of an University College or from one who, like myself,, has not passed through the University career,, and that they will judge of it purely and simply by the strength of its arguments, and in accord with the Shakesperian axiom, "Nothing extenuate, nor set down aught in malice." I deprecate the sneer of a cynical and not just classical reviewer, but heartily welcome and appreciate the learning which points out a fault and gives the reason of it, or shows greater probability why another interpretation should be preferable to that given by the Author.
