IMPROVED EDITION, UNIFORM WITH THE ÆNEID,' WITH HEAD OF VIRGIL FROM THE BASKERVILLE EDITION. BIBLIOTHEC DEG 1882 BODLEIANA LONDON: EDWARD STANFORD, 55, CHARING CROSS. 1882. 298. f. 57. TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE AND RIGHT REVEREND THE LORD ARTHUR CHARLES HERVEY, LORD BISHOP OF BATH AND WELLS. MY LORD, Your Lordship's reputation as a scholar opens to me this way of expressing my sense of your kindness to me as my Bishop, during the latter years of a long pastoral life passed entirely in your Lordship's Diocese, and during the last fifty years in the same retired West-Country Parish, remote from all the appliances and advantages, if advantages they are, of the nineteenth century. ἀλλ ̓ ἀναγκαίως ἔχει πατρίδος ἐρᾶν ἅπαντας· ὃς δ ̓ ἄλλως λέγει, Euripidis Phenissæ, 361. But needs it is, that each one loves his home: He who says, No, but babbles with his tongue : I am, my Lord, Very gratefully and respectfully, Your faithful and obedient servant, J. M. KING.
