Horace In London: Consisting Of Imitations Of The First Two Books Of The Odes Of Horace (1813)

Horace In London: Consisting Of Imitations Of The First Two Books Of The Odes Of Horace (1813) is a book by James Smith that contains a series of imitations of the first two books of the Odes of Horace. The book is a collection of poems that are written in the style of Horace, a Roman poet who lived in the first century BC. The poems in the book are set in London and are written in English, with occasional Latin phrases. The imitations cover a range of topics, including love, friendship, politics, and the pleasures of life. The book was published in 1813 and was well-received by critics at the time. Today, it is considered a notable example of Horatian imitation in English literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
