18542657London: Saunders and Otley 1854. First edition. First edition. Octavo. Original blue embossed cloth with gilt design on cover. A very scarce book cited in Quarterly Review: "The book called 'Morbiida'- and which needs no second title- is the production of one who has evidently received his inspiration at second hand. Unable to elaborate it for himself he freely dilutes some of the finest of English poetry." And then in the Eclectic Review "It is sickly and feeble. The author has evidently mistaken his vocation. He might make as times go a creditable man in various professions but Nature in endowing him with a polished mediocrity evidently intended him for anything rather than a poet.". 168 pages. <br/><br/> Saunders and Otley hardcover books

This Compendium of Roman History by Velleius is an early edition of Dutch classical scholar Pieter Burman the elder. His history written in a rhetorical style covered the period from the end of the Trojan War to the death of Livia in 29 A.D. and most useful for the period from the death of Julius Caesar in 44 B.C. to the death of Augustus in 14 A.D. Bryan Michael. Bryan’s Dictionary of Painters and Engravers Volume 1. G. Bell 1903. p. 145. "Velleius Paterculus’ short work is the earliest surviving attempt on the part of a post-Augustan historian to survey the history of the res publica from its origins to his own times. In a period from which no other contemporary historical narrative survives in more than meagre fragments Velleius’ work is uniquely important. It is a critical counter to the later accounts of Tacitus Suetonius and Cassius Dio not simply because it offers a different view of Tiberius but because Velleius saw continuity where later authors saw only radical change which destroyed the Republic and put monarchy in its place. For other reasons too Velleius occupies a unique position in Roman historiography." – See: Eleanor Cowan ed. Velleius Paterculus: Making History Classical Press of Wales 2011.
