[10] Lipsius had suggested some such procedure (Justus Lipsius, _Epist. quaest._, 1.5, _Opera omnia_, Antwerp, 1637, I, p. 143): "He would do a service to the world of letters who would make a selection of Martial's epigrams in the fashion of the old critics and would affix a mark of praise to the good and of blame to the bad."
