Author Description

Excerpt from The First Book of the Satires of Horace, in English Verse: With Illustrations From Rich's "Antiquities;" A Life of Horace; And Articles on the Roman House, Amphitheatre, Theatre, and Circus It may be as well to say a few words on the distinctive features of the satire and philosophy of Horace, as it is-very possible that many, who are not acquainted with this part of his works, may conclude that the one is merely a denuncia tion against men's vices and defects, and that the other is ither vague and dreamy, or Utopian and impossible.
