Much of Livy, we know, has gone, and the 57 Digitized by Google Annals of Tadtus only survived under drcum- stances which caused the £inder of them to be branded as a forger. The list might be much extended and it is a striking commentary on the narrowness of modem classical scholarship that many minor Greek and Latin authors can still only be obtained in sixteenth-century editions* zeal in reprinting being almost en- tirely confined to dermany. In so far* then, as the lives of books depend upo
...n the care of the professional guardians of literature, it is evident that they have fared badly in the past* nor can we* despite our modem activity* feel any certainty that they will fare superlatively well in the future. The nineteenth century re- discovered Elizabethan and Jacobean literature* and rejoiced to reprint it vyath much won- derment at the neglect into which it had fallen.
Possibly* before it has run its course* the twentieth century may rediscover the eigh- teenth* and reprint its minor poetry v\rith as much self-congratulation as we have felt at the recovery of Campion and the other song- writers of his day.
