For the sake of grouping conveniently together the entire Anglo-Terentian literature, I shall conclude with a mention of the version, executed in 1667 by Charles Hoole of six of the plays. It is in English and Latin, "for the use of young scholars," and was most probably done with a special view to Hoole's own school, which at this time was "near Lothbury Garden, London." He kept for a long series of years one of the leading proprietary establishments in the metropolis; but he was originally the principal of one at Rotherham in Yorkshire. We last hear of him as carrying on the same business in Goldsmith's Alley. This was in 1675. His career as a teacher must have extended over some thirty years. II. Leaving Terence, we may pass to Virgil, whose _Bucolics_ were published in 1512 with a dull Latin commentary, illustrating the construction of the verse and other critical points. No ancient English edition of Horace exists, either in the original language or a translation. But Whittinton admitted selections from him into his _Syntax_. In 1534 he translated Cicero's _Offices_ for the use of schools, printing the Latin and English face to face; and the treatise of _Old Age_ closely followed. In these attempts to draw the classics into use for educational purposes, the fine musical numbers of the ancient poet and the noble composition of the writer in prose offer a powerful contrast to the barbarous jargon and dissonant pedantry of the scholiast and editor, whose Latin exposition certainly tended in no way to assist the learner, either from the point of view of an interpreter or a model. For it must have been, in the absence of some one to expound the exposition, fully as puzzling to pupils as the most difficult passages of the Roman poets, while it was eminently mischievous in its influence on the formation of a Latin style. The teacher in all ages has been a prosaic and unimaginative being; and if the one who directed the studies of Virgil himself had glossed the works of those authors who lived before the Augustan era, he would have probably transmitted to us a labour as dry and unfruitful as those which make part of the reference library of English boys in the olden time. Except in a prose translation, which bears no mark of having been intended for boys, the _Æneid_ was not introduced among us for a very long period subsequently to the revival of learning, nor were the _Georgics_. A selection from Ovid's _Art of Love_ appeared in 1513; perhaps the whole was deemed too fescennine for the juvenile peruser.
