Excerpt from The Augustan Age Dear Sir: Some time since, I was requested to deliver a Lecture for the Athenian Institute. I selected the Augustan Age as a suitable topic, but, as, by a sort of tacit understanding, the Lectures ought not to occupy more than an hour each, I found myself unable to effect more than the presentation of a few sketches relative to the history, arts, mariners, and literature of the period. I am well aware that the following pages, which comprise the Lecture in question, are hardly worthy of being presented to a person of your literary taste and knowledge.
