Excerpt from The Theocritean Element in the Works of William Wordsworth: A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy My special thanks are due to my colleague, Professor Lane Cooper, who has generously given me much advice and many suggestions in the composition of this book, and who, in the reading of proof has rendered me very substantial assistance; and to my colleague, Professor Clark S. Northup, who has read and criticised the entire work in manuscript, and much of it in proof. I shall 'always hold in grateful remembrance my esteemed teacher of Greek, the late Professor J. R. Sitlington Sterrett of Cornell University, who in my student days, by his inspiring and sympathetic teaching made Theocritus for me a living classic, and first directed my studies and interest into the pleasant fields of pastoral literature.
