Excerpt from The Works of Horace: With English Notes, Critical and Explanatory Now, one of two things: either the youth of Britain, the classical students in the land of Bentley and Person, are very badly taught, and, therefore, want all the aid which cepioua commentaries can afford, while our own youth in this respect are so highly favoured as to need little, if any, assistance at all; or else they, who are intrusted abroad with the educa tion of the young, are so liberal minded, and so far removed from all paltry prejudices, as even to receive a work from a foreign land, no matter where that land be situated, provided the work in question be found of any utility in the education of the young. The editor will not undertake to decide this very interesting point, but leaves it for the grave considera tion of his countrymen, merely remarking, that the Sallust, Cicero, and Casar, which are edited on precisely the same plan with the Horace, have all been republished in England, and that too without any effort on his own part to bring about such a result.
