Note 261d — VIII. LORD ACTON’S LIST OF THE HUNDRED BEST BOOKS
Reading edition
Horace has been made the subject of many translations. Perhaps there are fifty now available. John Conington’s edition of his complete works, two volumes (Bell), is well known. The best introduction to Horace for the young student is in Sir Theodore Martin’s translation, two volumes (Blackwood), and a volume by the same author entitled Horace in “Ancient Classics for English Readers” (Blackwood) is a charming little book.
