\"The editor\'s many classical editions which had a great and not undeserved vogue and influence in their day became soon obsolete and marked no decisive epoch in classical philology. Yet his work on Euripides and Aeschylus in particular may still be consulted with profit, at least as a monument of protest against the Victorian mock-archaic convention in translations from Greek poetry; and it is easy to underrate now the merits of work which met a great demand for school and college use, and itself did much to evoke the more scientific scholarship which has superseded it\" (from review in newadvent.org).Texts include \'Prometheus bound\', \'Seven against Thebes\' and \'Agamemnon\'.Good condition for age. No highlighting or other notes. Tanned only on endpapers. Cover is intact with strong hinges but top part of front cover is sunned and spine colour has faded a lot, though gilt lettering still visible. Hence low price for this scarce item.
