Author Description

Excerpt from The Outdoor Life in Greek and Roman Poets: And Kindred Studies To the sketches of outdoor life as revealed in the poetry and in a few portions of the prose literature of ancient Greece and Italy, I have added some studies of subjects connected with the scheme of the book which I always hoped to complete in its present form, though the chapters were published separately in the Contemporary Review. My thanks are due to the Editor for allowing me to reprint them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
