About This Item
Cambridge: W. Heffer & Sons Ltd, 1935. First printing. Very Good/very good. This volume is designed primarily to supply classical sixth forms and undergraduates, and their teachers, with exercises in 'composition'; it contains 'fair copies', or 'versions', mostly in Greek and Latin verse. Some pieces are included whose metre or contents place them rather outside the usual range; it is hoped that these will help to make the book interesting and instructive to classical students in general. There are included a few 'proses' of special interest, and also a few translations from Greek and Latin poetry into English verse; copies of the latter kind afford a valuable subsidiary exercise. Blue boards with writing to spine.Title embossed on front cover.Dj paper, slight tears to top and bottom of the spine. Some bumping and rubbing.Not price clipped. Tight binding and clean pages. First Edition AB55
