1810 The Letters of Pliny the Consul
What Our Customers Say...
Description

Pliny was a lawyer and magistrate of Ancient Rome. He wrote hundreds of letters during his life, but only two-hundred and forty-seven survive. Those surviving letters offer a great historical source. His letters are one of the only surviving records of the relationship between the imperial office and provincial governors.
Illustrated with a frontispiece, and a vignette title page.
Translated by W. Melmoth.

Bookplate of Ken Tomkinson to the front paste down. Bookplate of John Farthing to the recto of the front endpaper.
