Excerpt from Poems and Translations
They are not, however, all reprints: there are many which it will be at once seen, are of recent composition, and which are now published for the first time. This observation applies not merely to the poems, but to the translations. I knew but little of the Orient when the earlier versions into foreign languages first appeared. But from a very youthful age, I was an admirer of sir william jones, and thought I Should like to follow in his footsteps. I know no man, indeed, to whom we are. More indebted; for he first in modern times, demonstrated, to the great disgust of all dullards and pedants, that the acquisition of varied and elegant knowledge was not inconsistent with the cultivation of those far different faculties, which make up a lawyer or a judge. Nor has the exam ple which he set been without its fruits or fol lowers; for at no period in our legal annals has the judicial Bench of this country been so eminently illustrated by great scholars, masters of language.
