Excerpt from Greek Anthology: With Notes Critical and Explanatory, TranslatedIn the N otes - appended to those Epitaphs which are marked I have drawn freely from the ordinary sources of information, Potter, Lempriere, Smith, and others. Wishing to avoid learned preten sions, I have said little about various readings of great scholars, conjectural emendations of obscure and doubtful passages, laudable studies to restore damaged metre or defective syntax - disquisi tions, generally, beyond and above me. I have, however, in some cases of doubt, followed what seemed to me the probable and natural turn of sentiment of my author in the particular piece, rather than the mere expression handed down, and perhaps I have not herein erred more than if I had filled my pages with the Opinions 'of Greek Scholias'ts.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
