The Tenth Declamation of Pseudo Quintilian: A Lecture Delivered in the Hall of Corpus Christi College on Thursday, May 11, 1911 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The Tenth Declamation of Pseudo Quintilian: A Lecture Delivered in the Hall of Corpus Christi College on Thursday, May 11, 1911
Two motives have induced me to turn into English and deliver as a public lecture one of the 19 larger Declamations ascribed to Quintilian, but now believed to be the work of a much later date. The Xth of these rhetorical exercita tions occupies a prominent place in the collection owing to its subject, the (supposed) return from the grave and appear ance to his mother of a young man on the evening of the day on which he had been cremated and several evenings following. In other words, the declamation is interesting spiritualistically. I do not suppose any ghost story has ever been recorded so circumstantially, and this is my chief reason for selecting it.
