Invectivae ("Invectives") were a specialized literary genre used during the Italian Renaissance, tirades of exaggerated obloquy aimed at insulting and degrading an opponent beyond the bounds of any common decency. Poggio's most famous "Invectives" were those he composed in his literary quarrels, such as with George of Trebizond, Bartolomeo Facio, and Antonio Beccadelli, the author of a scandalous Hermaphroditus, inspired by the unfettered eroticism of Catullus and Martial. All the resources of Poggio's rich vocabulary of the most scurrilous Latin were employed to stain the character of his target; every imaginable crime was imputed to him, and the most outrageous accusations proffered, without any regard to plausibility. Poggio's quarrels against Francesco Filelfo and also Niccolo Perotti pitted him against well-known scholars.

You may keep > Turkey on the map of Europe, you may call the country by the name of Turkey > if you like, but do not think you can keep up the Mahommedan rule in the > country.

With the growth of traffic during the 1880s and early 1890s, the LB&SCR; was the subject of press criticism for poor timekeeping and slow trains,Turner (1979), pp. 215–16. although it was never subjected to the levels of press and public obloquy accorded to the SER. One of the main reasons for poor timekeeping was the re- occurrence of congestion north of the SER station at Redhill as both companies sought to develop their outer London suburban services. This part of the line was owned by the SER, which (according to Acworth) gave its trains precedence through the junctions at Redhill.,Acworth (1888), p. 97 but the LB&SCR; paid an annual fee of £14,000 for its use. Relations with the SER began to deteriorate once more and eventually both companies appointed Henry Oakley general manager of the Great Northern Railway as an independent assessor in 1889. Oakley supported the LB&SCR; right to use the line but increased the annual payment to £20,000.
