Excerpt from T. Lucreti Cari De Rerum Natura: A Selection From the Fifth Book (783-1457); Edited With Introduction, Analyses and Notes

This edition has been prepared in the hope that with its help some of the finest and most vivid Latin poetry that sur vives may in the future be read in lower forms than has been hitherto usual.

There is a natural objection to reading part of a poem or to beginning in the middle of a book, and it is hoped that an edition which omits the preceding eight hundred lines, a long and difficult passage with no particular connexion with this selection, and which so presents a subject of more reasonable length for a middle form, will virtually if not actually remove such hesitation.
