The works of Horace /
translated into English prose ; as near the original as the different idioms of the Latin and English languages will allow ; with the Latin text and order of construction in the opposite page ; and critical, historical, geographical, and classical, notes in English ; from the best commentators both ancient and modern ; and a preface to each poem, illustrating its difficulties, and showing its several ornaments and design ; also the method of scanning the several sorts of verse used by Horace, and a table showing at one view of what sort of verse each ode consists ; for the use of schools, as well as of private gentlemen.
