ΤΟ HUGH ANDREW JOHNSTONE MUNRO, M.A., D.C.L. SENIOR FELLOW OF TRINITY COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE HIS FORMER PUPIL AND HIS FRIEND OF FORTY YEARS 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. |
