Note 161 — FIRST SECTION. History of Spanish Poetry and Eloquence, from the Introduction of the Italian Style to the Age of Cervantes and Lope de Vega.
Thomasina Ross translation
The edition of the Obras de Garcilaso de la Vega, Madrid, 1765, 8vo. published by an anonymous editor, contains impartial and correct remarks on the beauties and the defects of the author’s poetry. The preface which is written with a spirit of patriotic frankness is also worthy of perusal.
