Leather. Condición: Good Only. None Ilustrador. A leather bound copy containing a selection of classical satire passages by Persius, translated into English and including a brief examination of the Roman poet's life. Scarce second edition.Bound in a contemporary full calf binding.This is a collection of the six satires from the Roman poet Persius, translated into English verse 'with some occasional notes'.Contents include an advertisement to the front of the work, explaining the origins of this particular translation, as well as a brief 'Life of Persius' by Mr. Bayle.The satires of Persius are composed in hexameters, and talk about literary tastes of the day, national morals, and 'the question as to what we may justly ask of the gods'.This work was published anonymously, but the translation has been attributed back to Thomas Brewster (1705-?), an English doctor and translator. Brewster published this work while studying at Oxford, with the intention of seeing if the English public would appreciate the classical work.With a bookplate to front paste down belonging to Edward John Kenney (1924-2019), the British Latinist and expert on Ovid and Lucretius, as well as an institutional bookplate for the Cowper Museum.Collated, complete.

8vo, pp.[4], [iii]-xxiv, 154, [2]; short tear to [p]2; a very good copy in contemporary British calf, spine gilt-ruled in compartments, edges speckled red; a few scuffs, cracks to joints and endcaps chipped; ink inscription 'Jno James (1751.)' to title with notes and corrections in the same hand (seebelow).Second edition, with the addition of Bayle's life of Persius, with manuscript corrections. Our commentator, an unidentified John James, is unusually strident in his annotations, adding to the title not only his name but an additional epigraph adapting Persius 5:28-29 ('Totumque hoc verba resignent / Quod latet arcana (vix) enarrabile fibra') and changing 'and the Original Text corrected' to read 'and the Latin Original subjoin'd & corrected'. In the preface he identifies the translator, 'Dr Brewster of St Jns Oxfd', and in the Life continues as confidently as before, correctly noting that Persius was born in the reign of Tiberius, not Nero, changing his native town of 'Volterra' towards a more Roman form 'Volterræ', and making seemingly trivial additions to the text, e.g.'the famous Grammarian Palemon', 'the Orator Verginius Flaccus', or 'Italian Genealogists vainly alledge'. James on occasion engages critically with the notes, for example changing 'Trowses' to 'Breeches' and noting that they were worn not only by Medes but also by 'some Gauls in that Age' (p.67), but beyond implementing the errata and a few minor changes he appears to pay relatively little attention to the translation itself.
