The first publication in book form of these three essays by the classicist F.W.H. Myers (1843-1901) on the Greek Oracles, Virgil, and Marcus Aurelius Antoninus.

A precious talent, Myers won two classical scholarships (the Bell and the Craven) at Cambridge, the chancellor's medal for English verse twice, the Camden medal for Latin verse once, and the members' prize for a Latin essay three times (ODNB). He was a Fellow of Trinity College from 1865 until 1874, and a lecturer in classics from 1865 to 1869.

In his later life, Myers became involved in spiritualism, and was a founding member of the Society for Psychical Research - coining many terms such as 'telepathy' which have since entered into common usage.

With Eton College provenance for the son of the Liberal MP Richard Fothergill (1822-1903).

First edition in book form; 8vo (20 x 13.5 cm); 2pp ads to rear, bookplate to front pastedown, inscription to front free endpaper recto, occasional light spotting; publisher's green cloth, spine lettered in gilt, uncut edges, very good; viii, 223, [3]pp.
