Excerpt from A Classical Tour Through Italy, An. 1802, Vol. 1Asto the Style - in the first place 'some, perhaps many ex pressions, and occasionally whole sentences, may have been inad vertently repeated, a fault great without doubt, but pardonable because almost unavoidable in descriptive composition. Who, indeed, can paint like Nature, or who vary his colouring with all the tints of Italian scenery, lighted by an Italian sky? If Lucre tius has repeated at length two of the most beautiful passages in his poem*, the Author may claim indulgence, if, in describing the perpetual recurrence of similar objects, he has been betrayed into similar language.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
