LAOCOON; an Essay on the relative limits of Poetry and Painting; translated from the Original German of Gotthold Ephraim Lessing, by William Ross, late Professor of Painting and Sculpture in the Andersonian University, Glasgow.
"We believe that this work is justly considered to have been Lessing's coup d'essai; and certainly, as translated by Mr. Ross, it is one of the most graceful and elegant pieces we ever perused. Its canons of criticism too, we cannot but feel, are the result of the profoundest reflection and most refined taste, being admirably calculated to enlighten the Critic, and to facilitate the studies of the Artist."—Monthly Review.
"A very elegant version of a beautiful critical essay, which has originated some of the finest views of Art."—Literary Gazette.
"Lessing, if still living, might feel cause to rejoice at the exhibition of his treatise in a dress so likely to preserve its value. The original notes show a refined taste and correct judgment."—New Monthly Magazine, Sept. 1836.
