"Mr. Boyes has collected these illustrations more for the purpose of determining the heads of thought by a comparison of minds, than for the detection of Plagiarism. His work will amuse those whose days of study are gone by, but who love to review their classic recollections, and to recall those images of sublimity and beauty which had delighted their young hearts and charmed their youthful fancy. To use the language of Cicero, he has rendered those studies which nurtured boyhood delightful to age"—Athenæum

"This is one of the most pleasing classical works that we have lately read. The Author shows very extensive poetical reading, a quick perception, accurate memory, and well-formed taste"– Gentleman's Magazine
