Copperplate frontispiece with gods & goddesses around a bust of Horace by J. Goerce engraved by Bernards. "Bentley was and remains the greatest of English classical scholars .. Although he here restricted himself entirely to criticism of the text .. his feeling for Horace is revealed in the seven or eight hundred emendations, many of which have found permanent acceptance. Bold yet sensitive, deeply learned and at the same time understanding, his edition is a compound, as Bentley himself was, of temerity, authority and subtlety" (Printing & the Mind of Man p178).
