Charles Dana inscribed this copy to Charles Pilgrim. "There is no short piece of ancient poetic literature so full as this of names of persons of influence, position or literary fame in their day; or one which mentions so many of the earlier and standard classic writers of Rome. The Satire is intensely personal and intimate and it sounds as if read before some literary society of the time, as it probably was." Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: 0 lbs 15 oz.
