"The translation of the Art of Poetry, by the Earl of Ros"common, has received, in my opinion, not less praise than it "deserves. Blank verse, left merely to its numbers, has "little operation either on the ear or mind: it can hardly sup"port itself without bold figures and striking images. A poem frigidly didactick, without rhyme, is so near to prose, that "the reader only scorns it for pretending to be verse. Having disentangled himself from the difficulties of rhyme, he may "justly be expected to give the sense of Horace with great "exactness, and to suppress no subtilty of sentiment for the "difficulty of expressing it. This demand, however, his trans"lation will not satisfy; what he found obscure, I do not know "that he has ever cleared. His versions of the two Odes of "Horace are made with great liberty, which is not recom"pensed by much elegance or vigour."

This is by far the most accurate as well as literal version which has yet appeared: the notes which accompany it are useful, and in general well adapted to answer the purpose for which they were intended, viz. to illustrate the History, Mythology, Geography, &c. of this Poet. It contains Dr. Bentley's readings and Dr. Douglas's Catalogue of about 500 editions of Horace, a life of the Poet, and a critical Dissertation upon his Writings. This translation is by no means of common

occurrence, but is not in our University so popular as from its merits it deserves to be. See Brüggemann's View, p. 597; and Bibliogr. Miscellany, v. i. p. 119.

A poetical Translation of the Works of Horace, with the original Text, and critical notes collected from his best Latin and French Commentators, by the Rev. P. Francis. 4 vols.

"The second edition (Lond. 1747,) is the most correct and "valuable edition of Francis's Horace. A very splendid and "magnificent edition, very elegantly printed, with the Latin text, "was published at London, 1749, in 4to. in 2 vols. with cuts." Harwood. "This gentleman's version, particularly of the Odes, is highly Horatian: it is moral without dulness, gay "and spirited with propriety, and tender without whining. "Hence few translations have gone through more editions, "or met with greater applause from the public." Mo. Rev. for Jan. 1758, p. 45. Cette traduction," says Brunet, alluding to the edition of 1747, " en vers, est fort estimée, et elle "a été fréquemment réimprimée. Harwood regardait l'édition "que nous indiquons, comme la meilleure; il y en a des exem"plaires en gr. pap. devenus rares.-L'édition de Londres, « 1807, 4 vol. in-12, renferme des notes supplémentaires par "Dubois."

The Works of Horace, with the original text, and reduced to the natural order of construction, with Accents to regulate the right Pronunciation and a close and truly literal English translation, rendering that Author exceedingly easy and familiar to every reader, (by John Stirling.) 2 vols.

This translation is now very scarce: the version is, as the title professes it to be, as literal as possible, and it is in my opinion the most accurate, as well as useful translation which has ever been laid before the public. The author of the Bibliographical Miscellany (v. i. p. 120.) is satisfied with calling it " a useful work." Brüggemann refers to the Monthly Review for Nov. 1752, p. 369-71, and for Dec. 1758, p. 472.
