Overview

Excerpt from The Critical and Miscellaneous Prose Works of John Dryden, Vol. 3: Now First Collected; With Notes and Illustrations Metamorphoses,2 I will not presume so far upon myself, to think I can add any thing to Mr. Sandys his undertaking. The English reader may there be satisfied, that he flourished in the reign of Augustus Caesar; that he was extracted from an ancient family of Roman Knights; that he was born to the inheritance of a splendid fortune; that he was designed to the study of the law, and had made considerable progress in it, before he quitted that profession for this of poetry, to which he was more naturally formed.
