page 107 note 3 Dr. Peterson might perhaps with advantage have dwelt more on the evident touches of satire in the representation of the style of Aper, especially the pedantic subtlety by which he endeavours to show that the great Greek orators are moderns and Cicero one of the present generation. He almost reminds us in some points of the Thrasymachus of the Republic ; and the question ‘who is an ancient?’ carries us back to Hor. Ep. 2, 1, 35.
