Excerpt from P. Vergill Maronis Bucolica, Georgica, Aeneis; The Works of Virgil With a Commentary and Appendices: For the Use of Schools and Colleges N or would I conclude this Preface without expressing my deep sense of the loss which Classical and English literature sustained by the premature death of Professor Conington. It was not my good fortune to enjoy very long the advantage and pleasure of his personal acquaintance; but in 1869 he became my guest on a public occasion; and when the sad tidings of his death arrived, I had not only to regret the admirable scholar, but also to mourn a kind and valued friend.
