Georgii Buchanani Scoti, poetarum sui seculi facile principis, opera omnia, by George Buchanan

His latinity is so pure as to claim a place in school reading, & the sentiments which have recommended the work to your notice, are such as ought to be instilled into the minds of our youth on their first opening.

(TJ to Samuel Knox, 1810)
