Thirteen Satires of Juvenal: Translated Into English

by Juvenal

Excerpt from Thirteen Satires of Translated Into English

This translation was originally brought out as the joint work of Dr. H. A. Strong, at that time Professor of Classics in Melbourne University, and the present writer. Three issues of the first edition having been sold out, the book has now been' thoroughly revised and, to a large extent, rewritten. Dr. Strong's appointment to the Chair of Latin in Liverpool University College made a renewal of the literary partnership, for the purposes of any later edition, impracticable. For any defects, therefore, in the new edition the present writer must be held solely responsible.
