One of the great works on classical art and literature of the eighteenth century, although criticized at the time for totally ignoring the Greeks.
Joseph Spence (1699-1768), a friend of Alexander Pope and member of his literary circle, was both "amiable and high-principled."
The qualities made him much in demand as an escort for the sons of English gentlemen and nobility on the Grand Tour of Europe.
