Commentaires : This copy of Horace was owned by William MacPhail, grandfather of Sir Andrew MacPhail. He was ship wrecked off the coast of Nova Scotia in 1832 in his first voyage to Canada from Scotland. The book and a spinning wheel were all that he and his wife were left with to start their life in a new world. For further details of this story see "The Master's Wife" page 31 by Sir Andrew MacPhail. Quintus Horatius Flaccus in English known as Horace. Horace was a leading Roman poet during the time of Emperor Augustus. He is considered one of the great Latin poets. He wrote lyric poetry which does not tell a story but is of a more personal nature.
