ABBOTT, Translate the following passage into Latin Prose : I have been very often disappointed of late years, when upon examining the new edition of a classic author, I have found above half the volume taken up with various readings. When I have expected to meet with a learned note upon a doubtful passage in a Latin poet, I have only been informed that such or such ancient manuscripts for an et write an ac, or of some other notable discovery of the like importance. Indeed, when a different reading gives us a different sense, or a new elegance in an author, the editor does very well in taking notice of it; but when he only entertains us with the several ways of spelling the same word, and gathers together the various blunders and mistakes of twenty or thirty different transcribers, they only take up the time of the learned reader, and puzzle the minds of the ignorant. I have often fancied with myself how enraged an old Latin author would be, should he see the several absurdities in sense and grammar which are imputed to him by some or other of these various readings. In one he speaks nonsense; in another, makes use of a word that was never heard of: and indeed there is scarce a solecism in writing which the best author is not guilty of, if we may be at liberty to read him in the words of some manuscript, which the laborious editor has thought fit to examine in the prosecution of his work.— ADDISON.

Portenta videntur: sed tamen neque ille, qui dixit, jurare posset, ita se rem habere, neque ego non ita. Dicitis etiam, esse e regione nobis, e contraria parte terræ, qui adversis vestigiis stent contra nostra vestigia, quos Antipodas vocatis? Cur mihi magis succensetis, qui ista non aspernor, quam eis, qui, quum audiunt, desipere vos arbitrantur? Hicetas Syracusius, ut ait Theophrastus, cælum, solem, lunam, stellas, supera denique omnia, stare censet: neque præter terram, rem ullam in mundo moveri: quæ quum circum axem se summa celeritate convertat et torqueat, eadem effici omnia, quasi stante terra cœlum moveretur.— CICERO.
