1 Another opinion of Highet's that receives more than its due share of attention is his definition of textual criticism as ‘little more than a glorified form of intellectual proof-reading’ (p. 5; misquoted from The Classical Tradition, p. 496). The reason that textual criticism even of well-known texts is still necessary is that until 1850 we had no notion how to set about it and even now we are still learning.

2 Cf. Syme, R., Tacitus, p. 564 Google Scholar. Syme, I should remark, is one of the few scholars of whom Green can bring himself to approve.

3 Why blame Juvenal for reluctance to be a martyr? Cf. Froude, , Life and Letters of Erasmus (1899), PP. 279 ffGoogle Scholar.

4 I hope to develop these theses more fully at a later date.
