Excerpt from The Georgics of Vergil
This edition was undertaken with the approval of many eminent scholastic authorities, including the Headmasters 1 of Eton, Shrewsbury, Bury Object of St. Edmunds, Charterhouse, Merchant Tay lors', the City of London, King's College, Durham and Bedford Schools, and the Principals of Marlborough, Cheltenham, Haileybury, Liverpool and Malvem Colleges, as a means of making the study of the Georgics more accessible to the Middle Forms, for Whom Professor Conington's notes, though indispensable to advanced scholars, are too elaborate, too dubitative, too full of alternative renderings and constructions, and too expensive.
