Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Satires of Juvenal and Persius: With English Notes, Critical and Explanatory, From the Best Commentators
With regard to Persius, you may remember that I intended to edit his Satires along with those of Juve nal until you dissuaded me from the attempt. I have therefore contented myself With merely giving the Latin text, unaccompanied by a single word of com ment. This part of the volume, I am very sure, will meet with the undivided approbation of those critical friends of mine, who have uniformly condemned my commentaries as exuberant, if not useless, and over whose fairness and acumen you and I have had many a pleasant chat.
It only remains for me to subscribe myself, my dear Professor, your old and sincere friend.
