Reviews"A tremendous amount of material which will undoubtedly prove of great value to the students of Lucretius."-Phillip de Lacy,Classical Philology(1943), "A volume which no student of Lucretius, of the classics, of philosophic literature can afford to ignore."-Paul FriedlÄnder,American Journal of Philology(1945), "For students approaching Lucretius this remains the only commentary in English on the entire work in one volume. Leonard's passionate introduction is a signal milestone in the history of the poem's reception, while the notes in Smith's commentary are a helpful guide to interpretation."-Peter Knox, editor ofOxfordReadingsin Ovid
