pp. xi, (4), 274, (2), “A is for atavism, B is for bellicose. Twenty-one essays, each beginning with a letter of the classical Latin alphabet, ramble off into little lessons in Roman history, culture, and etymology. Although the facts make interesting browsing, the frivolous, often trite style is distracting. A bibliography of more scholarly works is appended.”Black penned publishing date on spine
