This Book is Dedicated

BY

THE EDITOR

My dear Munro,

You, with the true kindness of your loyal nature, addressed to me your Edition of Lucretius, the greatest in some points, though not the best known, of Roman poets. And, with the same kindness, you have consented to accept from me the dedication of this humble work, a School Edition of Virgil. None can feel more strongly than myself, none can wish to declare more distinctly, that by this exchange I am the gainer. You have given like Glaucus in the Iliad; I, like the Greek Diomed, have received

χρύσεα χαλκείων, ἑκατόμβοι ̓ ἐννεαβοίων.

You know how sincerely I sign myself

THE ELMS, CAMBRIDGE

Christmas, 1875.

Your affectionate Friend,

B. H. KENNEDY.
