Excerpt from Studies in Virgil IT is generally recognized that at present there is a move ment in education away from the Classics. The questions are being raised in the older English Universities, whether after all Greek is a necessary part of every branch of study, and whether it should remain a compulsory subject in every curriculum. In America and in the British Colonies a further stage has been reached. Tradition there has less power; Greek as a compulsory subject has been quite discarded, and Latin itself is in some places a more or less Optional subject. The possibilities of danger to education generally which are involved in this attitude toward classical studies need no remark. Yet there is another aspect of the matter which deserves consideration, and here I may be allowed to speak from my own experience.

Excerpt from Master Virgil: The Author of the AEneid as He Seemed in the Middle Ages, a Series of Studies The arrangement of the citations in this book was a matter of some study for the author. As first written out, the notes were so frequent that almost every sentence in the text was ornamented with marks indicating quotations or references at the bottom of the page. Nothing could be more burdensome than this mass of indigestible fragments succeeding each other in an order dependent on the text, but not easily held in the memory. As the only originality possible to a work of this kind pertained to method, arrangement, and form of expression, it was finally decided to group the references with the sections of the table of contents, disregarding some pune tilios of authorship, but relieving the eye from a fatiguing task, and still leaving it in the power of the zealous reader to trace all the sources from which the author drew his information. If some man of approved learning had taken up this task; if Thomas Wright, for example, had carried out his own suggestions made in the preface to his Alexander Neckam, he would have saved me trouble and gained my applause. The references are in most cases to books of value, in some to the mere curiosities of literature, and in others to volumes which have only the value, fixed but trivial, of specimens in a museum. Whether or not proper discrimination has been made in the text between books of authority and books of no authority, the reader can easily determine.

Excerpt from The Æneïd of Virgil: With English Notes Publius virgilius maro was born at the village of Andes, a few miles distant from Mantua, about 70 B. 0. His father was of low birth, having been, according to some authorities, a potter or brickmaker, and, according to others, the hireling of a travelling merchant named Maius, or Magus. He so ingiratiated himself, however, with his master, that he received his daughter Maia in marriage, and was intrusted with the charge of a farm which his father-in-law had acquired in the vicinity of Mantua. Our poet was the offspring of these humble parents. The studies of Virgil commenced at Cremona, where he re mained till he assumed the toga virilis. At the age of sixteen he removed to Mediolanum, and, shortly after, to N eapolis, where he laid the foundation of that multifarious learning which shines so conspicuously in-the Enez'd. During his residence in this city he perused the most celebrated Greek writers; and here he also studied the Epicurean system of philosophy, under Syro, a celebrated teacher of that sect. But medicine and mathematics were the sciences to which he was chiefly addicted; and to this early tincture.of geometrical knowledge may, perhaps, in some degree, be ascribed his ideas of luminous order, and masterly arrangement, and that regularity of thought, as well as exactness of expression, by which all his writings were distinguished.

Excerpt from The Eclogues and Georgics of Virgil NO doubt there is a temptation in all his poems to look for more than Virgil ever meant to give. But it is part Of the delightful interest Of the Edogues, that we seem there to be con tinually surprising the young craftsman, either in his 'prentice work, studying his craft and unblushingly imitating his forerunners, or cast ing furtive shadows of himself and his history on the idyllic grass where Tityrus and Corydon are the ideal counterfeits. Professor Nettleship, in an essay accompanying his reprint Of the Ancient Lives of Virgil (published by the Clarendon Press in worked out compara tively after a most interesting fashion some of the cross-evidences that bear on the poet's life afforded by Suetonius and others.
