Abstract

Ancient Classics for English Readers
April 25, 1872 issue

add to cart   close window

This is an excellent series for four classes of readers: for women; for college-bred men who want some short and handy way of reviewing their old studies; for unlettered scientific men; and for self-educated men of active mind, curious to know what manner of men those old Greeks and Romans were. Pliny the Younger, too, is just the man for a popular series like this. He was a born reporter; if he had not been a rich man, he would have been that ancient specimen of the Bohemian, a scurra. In himself considered, Pliny was a commonplace and insignificant man.
