Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Iliad of Homer, Rendered Into English Blank Verse, Vol. 1 of 2 In the spring of 1862 I was induced, at the request of some personal friends, to print, for private circulation only, a small volume of "Translations of Poems Ancient and Modern," in which was included the first Book of the Iliad. The opinions expressed by some competent judges of the degree of success which had attended this "attempt to infuse into an almost literal English version something of the spirit, as well as the simplicity, of the great original," were sufficiently favourable to encourage me to continue the work which I had begun.
