Excerpt from An Examination of the Strictures of the Critical Reviewers on the Translation of Juvenal I acknowledge with thankfulness, that I have not been disap pointed. Greater vanity would be gratified by the praises which I have received; and greater abilities attered by the little to which men of real taste and learning have objected, in so various and extensive-a publication.
