Sinopsis
Excerpt from Prefaces To The First Editions Of The Greek And Roman Classics And Of The Sacred Scriptures
Literature is so closely connected with human happiness, that one cannot be surprised at the deep interest which man kind have displayed in tracing its progress. It is in fact the most infallible criterion 'of Civilization, and moreover, by furnishing us with a knowledge of prevailing opinions and the direction of the currents of thought, it; supplies the best of all comments on the history of any period. Regarded from this point of view, any contribution to the literature of the Middle Ages has a value of its own independent of the subject on which it may happen to treat.
It is with this feeling that I have collected and reprinted the Prefaces to the first editions of the Greek and Latin Classics, and of the earliest versions of the Sacred Scriptures. I have arranged them in the order of their publication, as they thus shew the dawn, progress, and range of literature on its revival. Some of them too, particularly those of Aldus and of Andrea, 'refer to former labours of the same editors, and under this ar rangement mutually explain and illustrate each other.
