Sandglass (Heritage Club monthly newsletter) laid-in. Slipcase with moderate shelfwear. "As Virgil's epitaph states, he wrote successively of pastoral life, of country things, and of deeds of arms. His final masterpiece, in which he related the legend of the coming of Trojan refugees to Italy, both foretold the glory of imperial Rome and measured the human cost of 'the doubtful doom of man'. He is said to have considered it far from finished at the time of his death. Previously he had perfected and published a different kind of poem, The Georgics, which is loosely comparable to such English poems as James Thomson's The Seasons and William Cowper's The Task." - page vii. Size: 4to.
