unenthusiastic reception of this edition in which the Scots Latinist William
Lauder (c.1710–c.1771) unsuccessfully championed the neo-Latin verse of Arthur
Johnston over that of George Buchanan as a set text for Scottish schools is
said to have inspired Lauder’s campaign against John Milton. See English Short
