...regret that lack of space prevents my speaking at greater length of the exceptional merit of the translations given in "Some Studies in Catullus." In many instances they surpass for perfection of rendering and beauty of English, the translations of Leigh Hunt and a host of other poets, not to speak of the clumsy productions of a pedantic Munroe. It gives an admirer of Catullus intense pleasure to see his spirit caught so thoroughly and rendered so well in our mother-tongue...

...part already built was to be but one third of one side of the proposed building. This would make each side three-eights of a mile in length. To conceive the plan, imagine a building the depth of Sever built in the form of a square, each side of which was three-eighths of a mile in length. The area around the outside would be a mile and a half...
