Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Modern Language Quarterly, 1901, Vol. 4 Passing to the third most famous eriti *al treatise of antiquity, we find, in Horace's 117's I'm/lira, a work as different as can well be imagined, both from the Poetics and the iiepi Ya/wits, placing it beside the latter of which, Professor Saintsbury cannot refrain from suggesting as an alternative title Dc and closes a severe indictment with the remaik, almost worthy of Dr. Johnson: 'all this, I say, is undeniable, or, if it be denied, the denial is of no consequence.' It is undeniable, and the 'compensations' of the work only serve to make its shortcomings more fatal. If the llepi Yd/org seems designedly written to resolve, the [12's Pee/int seems equally written to forge, the worst shackles of 'classical' criticism; its 'brilliance' only made its rule more adamantine, and occa sional glimpses of a more reasonable spirit gave a specious and fallacious appearance of judgment and insight to the whole.
