		His conspicuous abilities and known devotion to study perhaps atoned in the eyes of the authorities for his indifference to the regular routine of study; for mathematics in particular he had an aversion which was the one exception to his almost limitless curiosity in other directions.
		Lampoons of his were privately circulated with effect, and that he could be the fiercest of satirists the "Cambridge Courtship" on the candidature of Lord Sandwich for the office of high steward, and the verses on Lord Holland's mimic ruins at Westgate, sufficiently prove.
		In his own time he was regarded as an innovator, for like Collins he revived the poetic diction of the past, and the adverse judgments of Samuel Johnson and others upon his work are in fact a defense of the current literary traditions.

		Montgomery's Electra was the most recent example of the triannual Cambridge Greek Play, a theatrical tradition of performing Greek drama in the original language which dates back to 1882.
		Rather than thinking of drama in ancient Greek solely as material for scholarly study and linguistic training, classicists now were clearly also considering its potential as a piece of theatre which could be brought to life on stage.
		The plays were unearthed and staged as curiosities; the actors, dressed in tunics and sandals, adopted poses which echoed those seen on Athenian vases.
