Excerpt from The Works of Pindar: With Various Readings, Notes, and Emendations
The Editor may here be permitted to express his opinion, that Pindar ought to hold a prominent place in every course of classical education. Some of the other ancient poets may be allowed to equal him in beauty or sublimity, but in moral dignity he undoubtedly soars above them all: and there can be no doubt that it is the prevalence of virtuous and noble sentiments, even more than purity of style or splendour of imagination, that ought to form the chief recommendation of a book in tended for the instruction or delight of the youthful mind. It was to facilitate the study, and thereby to ex tend the knowledge of this noble Poet, that the present Edition was undertaken. If, by means of the improved text with which the scholar is now furnished, the former purpose shall in any degree be effected, the Editor can not doubt that the latter will at no distant period follow as a natural result. He will consider his present labours as fully rewarded, if he shall find that they have been instrumental in exciting in others that admiration of the Theban Bard, with which he has himself been inspired from his earliest years; and he can assure the lovers of Greek literature, that the exertion necessary to surmount the difficulties, which the study of Pindar presents, will be amply compensated by the exquisite pleasure which an intimate acquaintance with his works is calculated to impart.
