Excerpt from The Odes of Horace, Vol. 1 The General Preface has explained the general purpose of this little book. It is only needful for me to make a brief acknowledgement of indebtedness, which is best done by stating my method. I wrote these notes with out referring to any edition of Horace but the Oxford text, putting down whatever I should have said to a class of average pupils. When they were finished I went through the notes with Wickham's invaluable edition, chiefly to detect difficulties which had been overlooked. I found, however, that several renderings which I believed to be my own were anticipated, and had perhaps been unconsciously borrowed from him. In the same way the book is, no doubt, under a debt to Mr. Page's brilliant work. I have never used his book myself, but have often taught pupils 'who were using it, and thus became conscious chiefly of the points in which my view differed from his. I should, however, be exceedingly concerned if I did not believe that in most cases my judgement would coincide with that of so finished a scholar; and what I have most desired to attain in this edition is some share of the freshness and literary quality with which his is universally credited. These qualities, however, can only be attained by working, so far as is. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
