Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An English Version of the Eclogues of Virgil
N publishing this version of Virgil's Eclogues and the accompanying designs, I wish to tell brie?y how they were begun, how sedulously and slowly laboured, and how at last, when the hand that had wrought them so lovingly was in a few hours to be laid to rest, the task of giving them some measure of completeness was bequeathed to me. I will quote partly from the Memoir lately published.
