Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Original Views of Passages in the Life and Writings of the Poet-Philosopher of Venusia: With Which Is Combined an Illustration of the Suitability of the Ancient Epic and Lyric Styles to Modern Subjects of National and General Interest
The approbation with which th 'former Edition of this Work, under a slightly di?zrent title, was re ceived by the public Press generally, so far as a very limited issue would permit the application of such a test, has induced me to publish the present Edition in a form more convenient for general cir culation. I have further availed myself of the oppor tunity thus afforded for maturely weighing friendly hints, unfriendly strictures (particularly the latter), and second thoughts; in order to amend defects va riously incidental to a first publication. Any faults that may now remain can claim little allowance on the plea of oversight.
