DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from A Vindication of Homer and of the Ancient Poets and Historians, Who Have Recorded the Siege and Fall of Troy It is a misfortune attending on all old and established truths, that whilst they are received in the world as matters of general notoriety, or undoubted authority, we are contented to take them upon trust, and, not irrationally, give credit to the opinions of those, who had better opportunities than ourselves to judge of their truth or falsehood. Yet this very circumstance, by which truth extends the frontiers of her empire, greatly weakens her internal powers of defence, and lulled into security by the number of her adherents she is too often unprepared to ward off the attacks against her person at home. In the present instance, Mr. Bryant has afforded us a linking proof of this assertion. The story of the Trojan War rendered immortal by the greatest Poet of Antiquity, was received in early Greece as an historical fact, from thence it has travelled down to us; but it had already been the means of conferring so much celebrity upon the pen of Homer, that whilst the historians of all ages recorded the event, the Poets embellished and obscured a plain tale with every charm of fiction. Relying on this general, if not universal assent, we add our own tacit acquiescence to an opinion prevalent through a long succession of ages.
