A WORD TO THE LITERARY MEN OF ENGLAND.

"_Twenty scholars in seven years might retrieve the worst losses we
experience from the bigotry of popes and califs._ I do not intend to
assert that every Herculanean manuscript might, within that period, be
unfolded; but the three first legible sentences might be; which is
quite sufficient to inform the intelligent reader whether a farther
attempt on the scroll would repay his trouble. _There are fewer than
thirty Greek authors worth inquiring for; they exist, beyond doubt, and
beyond doubt they may, by attention, patience, and skill, be brought to
light._ * * With a _smaller_ sum than is annually expended on the
appointment of some silly and impertinent young envoy, we might restore
_all_, or _nearly all_ those writers of immortal name, whose
disappearance has been the regret of genius for four entire centuries.
In my opinion, a _few thousand pounds_, laid out on such an
undertaking, would be laid out as creditably as on a Persian carpet or
a Turkish tent."--Landor's _Imaginary Conversations--Southey and
Porson--Works_, vol. i. p.
