He has long considered that much has been left hitherto to be accomplished on both these points, and without wishing to detract from the merits of former Translators, or to challenge very especially their competition, he wishes simply to place the present work before the reader, that if approved, it may lead to a more extended re-translation of the Poet, and his appearance in a more native hue beforc the public.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
