The Satires and Epistles of Horace is a collection of works by the ancient Roman poet, Horace, originally published in 1838. This book includes a selection of Horace's satirical and epistolary poetry, which is known for its wit, humor, and sharp social commentary. The satires are a series of poems that poke fun at the vices and follies of Roman society, while the epistles are personal letters written by Horace to his friends and acquaintances. The book is divided into two parts, with the first containing Horace's satires and the second containing his epistles. The translator, Christopher Smart, has aimed to capture the essence of Horace's writing in his English translations, while also maintaining the original meter and rhyme scheme of the Latin text. This edition of The Satires and Epistles of Horace is a valuable resource for students of classical literature, as well as for anyone interested in the history and culture of ancient Rome.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
