Excerpt from The Satires: Of Juvenal, Persius, Sulpicia and Lucilius, Literally Translated Into English Prase, With Notes, Chronological Tables, Arguments, &C Wm the 'cal versions of Juvenal deservedly hold a very high place in t e literature of this country, it is a curious fact that there exists no single W translation which can stand the test of even ordinary criticism. Ether it be that the temptation to a metrical version of a poetical writer is too great with some, or whether the labour of faithfully representing the genius of confessedly the most difficult writer in the Latin language has deterred others, the fact is undeniable, that there is no prose version from which the un classical reader can form any adequate idea of the writings of the greatest of Satirists.
