There are many books of many kinds and this volume properly classified would probably belong to the "sui generis," "sic trasit gloria mundi" variety. If the reader has grown a little rusty on classic Latin I do not mind saying to him further that the latter phrase has been sometimes translated, "My glorious old aunt has been sick ever since Monday," but I do not think that this revised version has been generally accepted as strictly orthodox. This book cannot be said to have been written without rhyme or reason for its pages hold more rhyme than poetry and three reasons at least, have conspired to give it literary existence. A hundred years and more from now it may be that some far descendant of the author, while fingering the musty shelves of some old library, may find some modest satisfaction in the thought that his ancient sire had "writ" a book. 9781329615823 1329615824 214 BOOK http://books.google.com/books/content?id=WJF8DAAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&edge=curl&source=gbs_api http://books.google.com/books/content?id=WJF8DAAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api en 9781329615823
