Jean Jacques Barthelemy : Voyage du jeune Anarcharsis en Grece (introduction)

Elizabeth Barrett to Hugh Stuart Boyd, 1829: 'I meant to have taken with me today the following extract from the learned Abbe Barthelemi's introduction to his "Voyage of Anarcharsis". It consists of his opposition to a few of the charges generally & principally brought against Homer [including lack of dignity in presentation of noble characters] -- & pleased me very much when I read it for the first time a few days ago [goes on to transcribe passage in own English translation].'
