These translations were originally printed for private circulation
in the autumn of 1884, a few months before the author’s death. They
were never published, and for years past the price asked for the book
second-hand has been high. It has therefore been decided, with the
consent of Munro’s representatives, to reprint the work, so that those
who are interested in Latin Verse and in Munro may acquire a copy at a
reasonable price.

NEW AND CHEAPER EDITION.
THE QUEEN’S POOR.
Life as they find it in Town and Country.
By M. LOANE.
_Crown 8vo._ =3s. 6d.=
Sir Arthur Clay, Bart., says of this book: ‘I have had a good deal of
experience of “relief” work, and I have never yet come across a book
upon the subject of the “poor” which shows such true insight and such
a grasp of reality in describing the life, habits, and mental attitude
of our poorer fellow-citizens.... The whole book is not only admirable
from a common-sense point of view, but it is extremely pleasant and
interesting to read, and has the great charm of humour.’
