Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Greek and Latin Compositions At the time of the death of the late Rev. Richard Shilleto, in 1876, it was known to us that there existed a large number of pieces of composition in Greek and Latin which were attributed to him, and which were in common use among old pupils and others engaged in tuition; and, though it was not considered advisable to attempt a collection and publication of those in our own possession at that time, the idea of doing this in the future was always in our thoughts. Some few years ago, however, it was strongly represented to us that it was the opinion of a well-known public school master - an opinion which was entitled to serious consideration - that a really authentic collection of Mr Shilleto´s compositions would be of distinct benefit to the cause of education; whilst we ourselves had always felt that there was no guarantee for the genuineness of those pieces which were floating about in various schools and colleges, but which were yet credited with being his actual work. We therefore determined to take the matter in hand ourselves, and to make a collection of all those which were in our possession, of the authenticity of which there could be no reasonable doubt. Most of these, indeed almost all of them, were in Mr Shilleto´s own handwriting; and we satisfied ourselves, in regard to the few exceptions, that they also were really genuine. We had determined from the first that we would not apply to former pupils, who would no doubt have been pleased to assist us, but that we would content ourselves with such pieces of composition as we found amongst the papers which he left behind him.
