Imaginary Conversations of Greeks and Romans (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Imaginary Conversations of Greeks and Romans

Friends as we are, have long been, and ever shall be, I doubt whether I should have prefaced these pages with your name were it not to register my judgement that, in breaking up and cultivating the unreclaimed wastes of Humanity, no labours have been so strenuous, so continuous, or half so successful, as yours. While the world, admires in you an unlimited knowledge of mankind, deep thought, vivid imagination and bursts of eloquence from unclouded highths, no less am I delighted when I see you at the schoolroom you have liberated from cruelty, and at the cottage you have purified from.
