1930. In writing this book, the author read and reread most of Newman's works, and years ago perused a considerable number of books about Newman; but, though a general impression of these latter still remained in his mind, Mr. May decided to defer renewing his acquaintance with them till, unaided, he made what he could of his subject and recorded his own ideas in such a manner and in such a language as he could command. It is not his object to attempt anything in the nature of a detailed biography of Newman. It is the aim of this book to convey to the general reader some impression of Newman's influence on one who, though not a theologian, nor worthy to be the champion of any school of religious thought, is not wholly insensible to beauty, whether in literature, in nature or in human life.

1930. Illustrated by Jean de Bosschere. Ovid was a Roman writer of love elegies (Amores), then experimented with the imaginary letter, mock didactic verse (Ars Amatoria), and collective narrative relating disconnected stories inside a large historical or chronological frame. Little was heard of Ovid until the Renaissance where he was revered as the great preceptor of courtly love. Through the Renaissance up to modern times, his poetry has been respected as a treasury of mythic themes, the suggestiveness and psychological content of which have inspired the imagination of a legion of writers.
