PINACOTHECÆ HISTORICÆ SPECIMEN; sive Illvstrivm qvorvundam ingenia, mores, fortvnæ, ad Inscriptionvm formam expressæ. Avctore F. KILVERT, A.M. Pars Secvnda.
"I am struck with the successful endeavour, in each case, to say much in few words.—those words remarkably select, and expressive, and appropriate,—exhibiting the noble characteristics of the Latin language, as compared with every other, ancient or modern. This is a rare excellence, and, therefore, I mention it first. But it is not the greatest merit of your performance. There is a truth in the delineation of character, and a devotion to rectitude and virtue in your moral estimate, quite as remarkable as the felicity of diction by which the varieties of each portrait are denoted. You have also escaped the snare to which brevity (according to Horace's well-known line), is exposed—obscurity."—From a letter of the late Bishop of Llandoff.
