PRAEMISSAE DISPUTATIONES,
OssiANis conversurus Phingaleiden, paucisque ego
contentus lectoribus, tria praefabor. Primum de
vetustate disseram poematum, quae tribuuntur Os-
siani ; deinde de Phingaleidos dicam genere, con-
tendamque esse pulcherrimum ; exponam denique
quid de optima sentiam interpretatione, Latinisque
condendis versibus.
I.
Ossianis poemata primus Anglica solutaque ora-
tione vertit, superioris saeculi annis 1760, 1761,
Jacobus Macphersonus. Nec mora, per Magnam
Britanniam Hiberniamque avidissime lecta sunt.
Hinc in exteras derivata gentes, summis per Gal-
lias, Italiam, Germaniamque laudibus efferuntur.
