Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Thirteen Satires of Juvenal, Vol. 1: With a Commentary
Jahn's index confutes the heresy that any hireling can be trusted with such a task. If genius is 'an infinite capacity of taking pains', no genius need decline an em ployment demanding. Like sentinel's duty in the field, in cessant vigilance. Of late indexes of the Delphin type' have come again into fashion'. We are grateful for them; they are certainly better than nothing; but no mere voca bulary can represent an author's mind as a concordance does, whose bulk may be kept within bounds, without sacrifice of efiiciency, by a wisely compressed notation.
