Book Description

Excerpt from The First Six Books of Virgil's Aeneid Dear Sir, Instead of having recourse to some great Name to protect this Attempt of mine, I judged it much more proper to address my self to One, who by his Knowledge of the Original, must be allowed to be an adequate Judge. Besides, there were other Reasons that in a manner made it a Debt upon me; the Trouble you have taken to read over this Work, and to make some Amendments in it; and the favorable Opinion you was pleas'd to entertain of it: this I must confess contributed to Lenten the Diffidence I had about its Success, which in some measure must affect every Man who ventures into the World as an Author.
