LAOCOON; an Essay on the relative limits of Poetry and Painting;
translated from the Original German of GOTTHOLD EPHRAIM LESSING, by
WILLIAM ROSS, late Professor of Painting and Sculpture in the
Andersonian University, Glasgow.
"We believe that this work is justly considered to have been
Lessing's _coup d'essai_; and certainly, as translated by Mr. Ross,
it is one of the most graceful and elegant pieces we ever perused.
Its canons of criticism too, we cannot but feel, are the result of
the profoundest reflection and most refined taste, being admirably
calculated to enlighten the Critic, and to facilitate the studies
of the Artist."--_Monthly Review._
"A very elegant version of a beautiful critical essay, which has
originated some of the finest views of Art."--_Literary Gazette._
"Lessing, if still living, might feel cause to rejoice at the
exhibition of his treatise in a dress so likely to preserve its
value. The original notes show a refined taste and correct
judgment."--_New Monthly Magazine, Sept. 1836._
