Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Golden Ass of Lucius Apuleius, of Medaura, Vol. 1 of 2: Reprinted From the Scarce Edition of 1709, Revised and Corrected
But then I cannot put Lucian absolutely into. That illustrious class, he lived in an age when the taste of the people was as loose and de hanched as their principles and manners; and Lucian, with-all his wit, could not escape the infection of the times, as is plain from his de fence of dancing, in which, though he gives a great many just praises to that art, then in its perfection, yet when he prefers it even to a tragedy, he pays but a slender deference to sense.
