To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In tlie appendix was further contained a specimen of a Latin treatise by Scriblerus, styled VlrylUus llestau- ratas. This 'Virgil Restored' of Scriblerus was of course intended as a satire upon the title of Tlieobald's previous criticism of I'ope's edition of the dramatist, though it may likewise have been aimed indirectly at Bentley. It started out with the assertion that the text of the iEneid was full of innumerable faults and of spurious readings which had escaped the notice of all commenta...tors. This piece was the beginning of an effort to restore it to its pristine integrity. Then followed various emen- dations. Tlie wit here displayed was very clumsy and was altogether better calculated to produce depression of spirits than exhilaration. In this edition too there were a number of errata specified. One gets the impres- sion from examining it that tlie errata had been pur- posely introduced into tlie text for the puipose of preparing a comment upon their correction. These, Pope said, he had been disposed to trust to the candor and benignity of the reader to rectify by the pen as accidental faults escaped the press.
