Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. Second book of a three volume set. Translated from the Greek by John Dryden et al. Plutarch's Lives of the Noble Greeks and Romans, commonly called Parallel Lives or Plutarch's Lives, is a series of 48 biographies of famous men, arranged in tandem to illuminate their common moral virtues or failings, probably written at the beginning of the second century AD. The surviving Lives comprises 23 pairs of biographies, each pair consisting of one Greek and one Roman of similar destiny, such as Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar, or Demosthenes and Cicero. It is a work of considerable importance, not only as a source of information about the individuals described, but also about the times in which they lived. This edition is undated but Belford, Clarke was only in business between 1879 and 1892, so this book was likely printed during that period. Brown cloth binding, gold titles on spine. No stated publishing history so presumed first edition, first printing thus. This is a used book. Pages are clean and bright with no markings, notes, or highlighting. No owner's marks or bookplates, not ex-library. Binding is tight and square; there is a half inch stain in upper left of front board. Fraying at top and bottom of spine. Hinges are loose. Corners are bumped. A good reading copy.

Hard Cover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Reissue. Includes publisher's slipcase and Sandglass insert. Slipcase edges a bit faded with one minor blemish along opening, otherwise an excellent copy. Binding tight and square, pages clean, bright, and unmarked. 1944 Hard Cover. lxviii, 397 pp. Translated, with an introduction, by John Dryden, illustrated by Carlotta Petrina. The Aeneid is a Latin epic poem, written by Virgil between 29 and 19 BC, that tells the legendary story of Aeneas, a Trojan who fled the fall of Troy and travelled to Italy, where he became the ancestor of the Romans. It comprises 9,896 lines in dactylic hexameter. The first six of the poem's twelve books tell the story of Aeneas' wanderings from Troy to Italy, and the poem's second half tells of the Trojans' ultimately victorious war upon the Latins, under whose name Aeneas and his Trojan followers are destined to be subsumed. The hero Aeneas was already known to Greco-Roman legend and myth, having been a character in the Iliad. Virgil took the disconnected tales of Aeneas' wanderings, his vague association with the foundation of Rome and his description as a personage of no fixed characteristics other than a scrupulous pietas, and fashioned the Aeneid into a compelling founding myth or national epic that tied Rome to the legends of Troy, explained the Punic Wars, glorified traditional Roman virtues, and legitimized the Julio-Claudian dynasty as descendants of the founders, heroes, and gods of Rome and Troy.
