Excerpt from Aristotle's Treatise on Poetry, Translated, Vol. 1 of 2: With Notes on the Translation, and on the Original; And Two Dissertations on Poetical, and Musical, Imitation It would be doing injustice to the translation lately given to the public by Mr. Pye, to place it, in any view, however favourable, by the side of these. A particular and critical examination of its merits would come with little propriety from me. So much, however, I may be allowed to say, for it is an indisputable fact, that Mr. Pye's translation and mine are frequently very differ ant; and that, in many passages, if he is right, I must confess myself to be wrong.
