"A Free and Independent Translation of the First and Fourth Books of the 
Aeneid of Virgil : wherein are unfolded the travels of Aeneas, the 
origin of the Roman empire, the stratagems employed by the goddess Juno 
(happily without success) to nip that important enterprise in the bud, 
the counterplots of the goddess Venus and her mischievous little son 
Cupid, and the furious love and romantic death of Queen Dido, in 
Hexameter and Pentameter, with illustrations by Thomas Worth - 
University Edition"

By Theodore Frelinghuysen Vaill.

illustrations printed on yellow paper. Cover worn and chipped, some wear 
and soil throughout. Blindstamped on the title page with the stamp of a 
music dealer. Fragile.  $25-
