Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Originally published in 1927, this book presents a selection of
previously unprinted essays by the classical scholar John Arthur
Platt (1860-1925). A variety of figures and subjects are discussed,
both classical and otherwise, including Aristophanes, Edward
Fitzgerald, and the relationship between poetry and science. The
text also contains a preface written by A. E. Housman. This book
will be of value to anyone with an interest in Platt and his
writings.
Founded in 1868 by the Cambridge scholars John Eyton Bickersteth
Mayor (1825 1910), William George Clark (1821 78), and William
Aldis Wright (1831 1914), this biannual journal was a successor to
The Journal of Classical and Sacred Philology (also reissued in the
Cambridge Library Collection). Unlike its short-lived precursor, it
survived for more than half a century, until 1920, spanning the
period in which specialised academic journals developed from more
general literary reviews. Predominantly classical in subject
matter, with contributions from such scholars as J. P. Postgate,
Robinson Ellis and A. E. Housman, the journal also contains
articles on historical and literary themes across the 35 volumes,
illuminating the growth and scope of philology as a discipline
during this period. Volume 34, comprising issues 67 and 68, was
published in 1918.

Arthur Platt Howard's preface says it all. "At some period during
every man's life he thinks he can make money by speculating on Wall
Street. To such this book will prove valuable, not that it shows
how to make money, but, rather, how to limit the losses." Here are
timeless words of wisdom for any aspiring investors, charmingly
presented in the form of a rhyming A-to-Z book. A stylish
illustration accompanies each letter of the alphabet.
