Overview

Excerpt from The First Six Books of the Iliad of Homer: Literally Translated Into English Prose, With Copious Explanatory Notes, and a Preliminary Dissertation on His Life and Writings Ivith regard to our Preliminary Dissertation, we cannot but be apprehensive lest our admira tion of Homer and of the Sages of antiquity in general, may appear to have prejudiced us too much in their favour, and to have inclined us to attribute excellencies to them which they never possessed. The tide of our admiration was indeed strong and vehement, - but we have not advanced a single conjecture that is not founded upon sufficient data, nor drawn a single conclusion that is not borne out by the concurrent testimonies of ancient history. A full discussion of the scientific and the Theological knowledge of early ages would require far deeper and more extensive re searches than the narrow bounds of a preliminary essay would allow.
