A little learning makes one sceptical, and in this long interval of time much was forgotten or denied by editors and readers, that had been believed and demonstrated by the first-mentioned scholars. Since 1829 he has received ample amends: in that year Lachmann published his curt but memorable edition which first placed the textual criticism on a sound and rational basis and dispelled the illusions of four centuries of conjecture. During the next twelve years Haupt published first his Quaestiones Catullianae and next his Observationes criticae, in both of which much was done for the criticism of our author. But within the last few years the study of Catullus has advanced with unwonted strides. In 1862 Schwabe gave us his most elaborate Quaestiones Catullianae, where he has collected with great industry in several hundred pages all the ancient authorities for the history of our poet and every character mentioned in his poems.
