Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Satires and Epistles of Horace: With Notes and Excursus
Such then is my commentary on the Satires and Epistles of Horace, and when to it are added those on the Bucolics and Georgics of Virgil and on the Fasti of Ovid, it will be seen that I have endeavoured to illustrate all the more difficult poetry of the Augustan age. Of my commentary on this last most curious and valuable poem, those who have only seen it in the first edition can judge but very inadequately, as that was executed in a hurryand under most unfavourable circumstances. In its new and re modeled form it is, if I deceive not myself, perfectly qua lified to take its place along with my Horace and Virgil.
