Item description from seller

The Roman Poets of The Republic; by W. Y. Sellar, M.A., LL.D., Professor of Humanity in the University of Edinburgh and formerly Fellow of Oriel College, Oxford; New Edition, Revised and Enlarged; Oxford at the Clarendon Press, MDCCLXXXI (1881). From the Preface to the Second Edition – In preparing a second edition of this volume, which has been some years out of print, I have, with the exception of a few pages added to Chapter IV, retained the first five chapters substantially unchanged. Chapters VI and VII, on Roman Comedy, are entirely new. I have enlarged the account formerly given of Lucilius in Chapter VIII, and modified the Review of the First Period, contained in Chapter IX. The short introductory chapter to the Second Period is new. The four chapters on Lucretius have been carefully revised, and, in part, re-written. The chapter on Catullus has been re-written and enlarged, and the views formerly expressed in it have been modified. This book, 459 pages plus 32 pages of Clarendon Press advertisements for other volumes, is in near-fine condition. There is a small, neat ownership signature on the half-title. The book is as sturdy as when it was published, and the entire text block is free from any discolorations. A handsome copy of a scarce book.…
