Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Classical Review, Vol. 18
The Classical Association of England and Wales is now an accomplished fact. Of its foundation on the l9th of December last an account is given in another column. Its executive council then appointed has met and strengthened itself by cooptations, and the time and place of the next, the first regular gathering, have been settled. The inaugural meeting, which may be fairly viewed as a success. Could not from the nature of the case be representative of the whole of the classical constituency. A committee of busy scholars and teachers living in different parts of the country, though from its constitution inspiring con fidence, is not the best body for organising an appeal which must take many directions and be addressed to very different portions of the community. All that it can hope to do is to get together a satisfactory nucleus, and in its present strength of five hundred the Association starts with such a nucleus. But if it is to do all that may be expected, its members should before long be counted not in hundreds but in thousands.
