Excerpt from Longinus on the Sublime, in Writing: Translated With Notes Original and Selected, and Three Dissertations

The translation of Longinus on the Sublime in Writing, here submitted to the Public, is the result of a long, if not an accurate acquaintance with what has been well designated as the vere aureus the truly precious treatise of that great critic. It was originally undertaken, and prosecuted from time to time, in a manner, perhaps, too desultory, by way of relaxation from the labours of. A very arduous and exhausting employment. As the work of one of the two celebrated philosophical critics of the Greeks was already presented, in so becoming a dress, to the English reader, it was my ambition to place that of the other, at however humble a distance, on the same shelf.
