Excerpt from Selections From Ancient Irish Poetry Romanised Gauls were carrying off the palm of Roman eloquence. By the sixth century the Gaulish language was everywhere extinct, without having left behind a single record of its literature. The same fate was shared by all Celtic nationalities of the Continent, and by those numerous Germanic tribes that were conquered by Rome, or came within the sphere of the later Roman civilisation.

But verse-writing does not, and never did, hold with us anything like the place which it used to hold in the Cambridge Tripos. Scholarships, Senior Moderatorships, even Fellowships, may be got with little or no skill in verse composition.

Excerpt from The Latin Poems of Leo XIII: Done Into English Verse Leo XIII was the youngest of four sons, one of whom, Joseph Pecci, is a member of the Sacred College of Cardinals, and his great learning, for he is a distinguished metaphysician and scientist, is sufficient warrant for his holding that high position. His Holi ness was baptized Joachim, Vincent, Raphael, Aloysius, but his mother, through devotion to St. Vincent Ferrer, called him Vin cent, and as such he was known to all, until his studies were finished, when he assumed his first name, Joachim. Madame Pecci was a very accomplished lady; she knew how to train her child, and the ambitious mother, even in those early days, planned a great future for her youngest boy.
