| Title | Letter from [George William] Lyttleton, Hayley, Stourbridge, to 'Dear Sir' [Sir John Frederick William Herschel] |
| Creator | Lyttleton; George William; fourth Baron Lyttleton and fourth Baron Westcote (1817-1876); British educationalist |
| Date | 3 October 1867 |
| Description | He is obliged to Herschel for his Latin lines ['Der Spaziergang']. He cannot read German and so cannot judge the translation, but the hexameters are full of force and elegance. He notes the verse of Ovid and Tibullus and the lack of trisyllables, and the distinction between Greek and Latin elegaics. |
