Esta es una copia digital de un libro que, durante generaciones, se ha conservado en las estanteras de una biblioteca, hasta que Google ha decidido
escanearlo como parte de un proyecto que pretende que sea posible descubrir en lnea libros de todo el mundo.
Ha sobrevivido tantos aos como para que los derechos de autor hayan expirado y el libro pase a ser de dominio pblico. El que un libro sea de
dominio pblico significa que nunca ha estado protegido por derechos de autor, o bien que el perodo legal de estos derechos ya ha expirado. Es
posible que una misma obra sea de dominio pblico en unos pases y, sin embargo, no lo sea en otros. Los libros de dominio pblico son nuestras
puertas hacia el pasado, suponen un patrimonio histrico, cultural y de conocimientos que, a menudo, resulta difcil de descubrir.
Todas las anotaciones, marcas y otras seales en los mrgenes que estn presentes en el volumen original aparecern tambin en este archivo como
testimonio del largo viaje que el libro ha recorrido desde el editor hasta la biblioteca y, finalmente, hasta usted.
Normas de uso
Google se enorgullece de poder colaborar con distintas bibliotecas para digitalizar los materiales de dominio pblico a fin de hacerlos accesibles
a todo el mundo. Los libros de dominio pblico son patrimonio de todos, nosotros somos sus humildes guardianes. No obstante, se trata de un
trabajo caro. Por este motivo, y para poder ofrecer este recurso, hemos tomado medidas para evitar que se produzca un abuso por parte de terceros
con fines comerciales, y hemos incluido restricciones tcnicas sobre las solicitudes automatizadas.
Asimismo, le pedimos que:
+ Haga un uso exclusivamente no comercial de estos archivos Hemos diseado la Bsqueda de libros de Google para el uso de particulares;
como tal, le pedimos que utilice estos archivos con fines personales, y no comerciales.
+ No enve solicitudes automatizadas Por favor, no enve solicitudes automatizadas de ningn tipo al sistema de Google. Si est llevando a
cabo una investigacin sobre traduccin automtica, reconocimiento ptico de caracteres u otros campos para los que resulte til disfrutar
de acceso a una gran cantidad de texto, por favor, envenos un mensaje. Fomentamos el uso de materiales de dominio pblico con estos
propsitos y seguro que podremos ayudarle.
+ Conserve la atribucin La filigrana de Google que ver en todos los archivos es fundamental para informar a los usuarios sobre este proyecto
y ayudarles a encontrar materiales adicionales en la Bsqueda de libros de Google. Por favor, no la elimine.
+ Mantngase siempre dentro de la legalidad Sea cual sea el uso que haga de estos materiales, recuerde que es responsable de asegurarse de
que todo lo que hace es legal. No d por sentado que, por el hecho de que una obra se considere de dominio pblico para los usuarios de
los Estados Unidos, lo ser tambin para los usuarios de otros pases. La legislacin sobre derechos de autor vara de un pas a otro, y no
podemos facilitar informacin sobre si est permitido un uso especfico de algn libro. Por favor, no suponga que la aparicin de un libro en
nuestro programa significa que se puede utilizar de igual manera en todo el mundo. La responsabilidad ante la infraccin de los derechos de
autor puede ser muy grave.
El objetivo de Google consiste en organizar informacin procedente de todo el mundo y hacerla accesible y til de forma universal. El programa de
Bsqueda de libros de Google ayuda a los lectores a descubrir los libros de todo el mundo a la vez que ayuda a autores y editores a llegar a nuevas
audiencias. Podr realizar bsquedas en el texto completo de este libro en la web, en la pgina http://books.google.com
This is a reproduction of a library book that was digitized

So true it is that the right of blaming tad Au
thors, is an ancient Right, pas'd into. a. Cutom, . .
among all the Satirits, and allow'd in all ages.
To come from the Ancients to the Moderns. Reg
nier who is almot the only Satirical Poet we have,
has in truth been a little more dicreet, than the
ret; nevertheles he peaks very frcely of Gallet
the famous Gameter, who paid his Creditors with
Sept and Quatorze, and of the Sieur de Provins who
chang'd his long Cloak into a Doublet, and of Colt
n who run from his houe for fear of repairing it,
and of Pierre de Puis, and many others.
What will my Critics ay to this When they
are ever o little touch'd, they wou'd drive from the
Republick of Letters all the Satirical Poets, as o ma
ny diturbers of the Peace of the Nation. But what
will they ay of Virgil; the wie, the dicreet Virgil?
