The following Lectures, being frequently referred to by the Author of them in the Preface and Notes to his Translation of Virgil , were thought proper to be communicated to the World in English , that both Works might speak the same Language as well as Sentiment, and address themselves to the same Sett of Readers. Whatever Reasons have been given for translating Virgil , and writing an English Comment on him, may be urged in behalf of these English Lectures, which as they are an Illustration of Poetry in general, so are they of Virgil in particular.
