Not illustrated. 1917 edition. Excerpt: ...and of others, many against others; for he wore down his opponents, not only by accusing them but by pleading his own cause. Indeed he was the author and the object of too many quarrels, and it is difiicult to say which were severer, his onslaughts on the aristocracy or their attempts to crush him. No doubt his temper was harsh, his tongue bitter 1 Plutarch, V. Camil/i, c. 21. 22. and unreasonably free. But his integrity was inflexible, his spirit unseduced by vice. Influence and wealth he despised. His endurance of toil and danger, his abstemiousness, showed a constitution of iron, which even old age, that subdues all things, failed to break. In his eighty-sixth year, being on his trial, he pleaded and composed his own speech; in his ninetieth he impeached S. Galba before the people?" Now let us see him in the more lively colours of Plutarch. He was red of face, grey-eyed; formidable to behold, for " in battle he would look grimly on his enemy and threaten him in a fearful, rough voice; such countenances, said he, many times do fear the enemy more than the sword ye offer them." So much for his looks. A small farmer's son, in early life he worked with his own hands on the farm near Tusculum, where he was born, and took an interest in the local affairs of his country town. Then a friend persuaded him to go up to Rome; and there, chiefly by pleading in the courts, he made his name, held all the highest oflices, commanded the Roman armies in Spain, and after being the most busy and 1 Livy, xxxix. 40. powerful man in the state, died, as the third Punic war broke out, at the age of ninety.1 That is a brief sketch of his life; a long one would give little idea of what a full life it was. His mind was engrossed by one...

Excerpt from A Defence of Classical Education This book owes much to the constant help of my wife; and I should also like to express my gratitude for suggestions and criticism to Dr. F. C. S. Schiller and Mr. A. E. Zimmern, who have read most of it in manuscript. Except for some corrections on points of detail, for which I am indebted to correspondents and reviewers, no changes have been made in this edition. I should like to take this opportunity of quoting a passage from Mr. W. B. Yeats' "Reveries" to which Mr. F. W. Hall of St. John's College, Oxford, has called my attention. It is not only a notable tribute to the Classics, but also a just comment on the view that translations of Latin and Greek authors arc adequate substitutes for the originals.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1916 edition. Excerpt: ... worshipper in the temples, a soldier on campaign, a juror in the courts. We cannot indeed revive that Greek world in which poets were soldiers, and politicians generals, and every man a member of Parliament, nor should we wish to do so. But we can try to catch a portion of its spirit. This existence, whatever its faults may have been, had not the grinding specialism of the modern world. Here no one was absorbed by his trade or livelihood; but a man remained in the first place a human being, and exercised the gifts, and experienced the enjoyments, proper to human nature. The artisan did not become a machine, or the labourer a drudge. The soldier, the merchant, the man of letters did not slip into narrow professionalism. The historian derived his knowledge of politics and war from hours spent in the assembly and the camp. The poet and the philosopher had been in touch with that human nature on which they moralized and wrote." 1 That spectacle, that ideal only grows more fascinating and salutary with time. But it is not on the picture of a civilisation, the pattern of a complete man, which Greece 1 Livingstone, The Greek Genius and its Meaning to us, p. 178 f. offers, that I wish to dwell. That is an argument, like the argument from Greek literature, too big to be compressed into a chapter; and at the end some one might say: " We are not men of the fourteenth century, we have riches of our own to go to; and if the spectacle of a full, rich life is what we want, Shakespeare and English literature can do for us what the classics did for them." Instead, I will deal with a quality of Greece which is easier to put on paper, which no one has possessed quite like her, which is the heart of her achievement, and the secret of her fermenting...
