Lib. Ii. P. '170. VOL. I. O honour i 9 4 ESSAY ON THE GENIUS honour is generally attributed of having re- ftored * the elegance of the Latin tongue ; particularly in poetry. But a late acute fearcher into antiquity, whofe death is juftly lamented, the learned Scipio MafFei, has informed us -f- in a curious paflage, that this was not fo much owing to Petrarch, as to Albertino Muflato, a native of Padua : with whofe merit the learned feem not to be fufficiently acquainted. Muflato died very old, ...after having borne the greateft offices in his country, in the year 1329, that is to fay, thirty-five years before Pe- trarch. He wrote not only many books of a hiftory of his own times, and of the emperor Henry VII.
