Excerpt from Aeneidea, or Critical, Exegetical, and Aesthetical Remarks on the Aeneis, Vol. 1: With a Personal Collation of All the First Class Mss., Upwards of One Hundred Second Class Mss., And All the Principal Editions It is now about four-and-twenty years since I first, being then somewhat over forty years of age, began the study of the Aeneis. The first fruit'of my labors was a translation into Eng lish blank verse of the two first Books, published in Dublin in 1845, whilst I was still a practising physician in that city. Little satisfied with that first essay of my prentice hand, I threw it aside and, having in the meantime left my profession and being more at leisure, began a new translation in the same measure, only to be as little satisfied with it as with its predecessor, and to throw it too aside, even unpublished, when it had been already printed as far as the end of the sixth Book. Still I was not deterred, and began anew, and; convinced by my repeated failures that it was in vain for me to attempt to preserve both form and substance, and at the same time warned, by the ill success of all who had preceded me, not to sacrifice substance to form, adopted the sole remaining course, viz. That of sacrificing the Virgilian. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
