Excerpt from The Georgics of Virgil: Translated by William Sotheby, Esq. IN reprinting this beautiful version of the most classic poem of antiquity, the American Editor has been par ticularly attentive to rendering it acurate. A number of errors in the London edition have been corrected, and except in two or three instances of misplaced apostrophes, which were discovered too late for alteration, he hatters himself that it contains no inaccuracies of any importance. In consequence of omitting the Latin, it was found that the Georgics alone would scarcely furnish suflicient mat ter for a handsome duodecimo volume, which induced the Editor to add Mr. Murphy's translation of the Bees from the Przdium Rusticum, a celebrated georgical poem by Jacopus Vanierius. As this contains a truer history of the polity and manners of those surprising insects than was known in the time of Virgil, it is hoped it may prove an acceptable addition to those readers who feel an interest in this subject.

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.

Excerpt from The Georgics of Vergil: Translated Into English Verse It is, perhaps, superfluous to add that, in the matter of rhymes, I have not strictly confined myself to those which are called perfect, which I think should rather be called major rhymes, but have sparingly introduced the imperfect or minor. All I can say is that in the case of a long rhymed poem, my own ear not only sanctions but demands a certain number of these minor rhymes. I have been reproved before now, for making this distino tion, by critics to whose judgment 1 em very much in clined to defer and, after all, I make it, for, to me, it represents a fixed musical fact. There is a graver objection which will certainly be' urged by those, justly high in authority, against the am bitions experlment upon one of the great works of the world here submitted to their scrutiny. My version of the Georgics is not very literal. It is not rendered line for line, or even foot for foot. I have sometimes mverted the order of clauses I have often expanded the expres sion I have in one or two instances no more, as the Latinist will readily believe condensed it 5 I have even, though Vei'y rarely; introduced an epithet, and, still more rarely, I have suppressed one. I say this not so much to forestall criticism, as to show that I have foreseen, and, in some sort, deliberately invited it 5 and I can hardly explain why I have done so without saying a few words, though diffidently and reluctantly, on what it seems almost' presumptuous to call my own theory of poetical transla tion.

Excerpt from A Translation Into English Verse of Virgil's Fourth Georgic Each slender chink, and every margin try To fill with flowers and bee-glue; thus a hoard Of gluten thick for this is always stored, Gluten more binding than the bird-lime rich, More binding too than Phrygian Ida's pitch. Oft too their hive they dig beneath the ground Their Lares here and ties of home are found; If tales be true, in hollow rocks they live, And in the trunks of trees they rear their hive. The gaping crannies thou must smear with clay, And likewise o'er the hive thin foliage lay. You must not yew trees near their precincts keep, Boil not red crabs, trust not the stammt deep, Nor fetid smells, nor hollowed rocks, whence sounds The unseen nymph, and speech reflected bounds. When golden suns drive winter from the sight, And then unveil the sky with glowing light. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
