Vergilius is a historical novel written by Irving Bacheller, first published in 1904. The book tells the story of a Roman poet named Vergilius, who lived during the reign of Augustus Caesar. The novel is set in the years leading up to the birth of Christ, and follows Vergilius as he travels throughout the Roman Empire, seeking inspiration for his poetry.As he travels, Vergilius encounters a wide range of people, from wealthy patricians to impoverished peasants. He witnesses the corruption and decadence of Rome, and the suffering of those who live on the fringes of society. But despite the darkness he sees around him, Vergilius remains hopeful, believing that a new era of peace and prosperity is about to dawn.Throughout the novel, Vergilius is haunted by a vision of a savior who will come to bring salvation to the world. He becomes convinced that this savior is none other than the long-awaited Messiah of the Jewish people, and he begins to see his own poetry as a means of preparing the way for the coming of Christ.As the novel progresses, Vergilius becomes increasingly involved in the political and religious turmoil of his time. He becomes a trusted advisor to Augustus Caesar, and he also becomes a friend to the Jewish people, who are struggling to maintain their identity in the face of Roman oppression.In the end, Vergilius is present at the birth of Christ, and he recognizes in the infant the fulfillment of his long-held vision. The novel ends with Vergilius returning to Rome, where he continues to write poetry and to spread the message of hope and redemption that he has found in the coming of Christ.1904. The book begins: Rome had passed the summits and stood looking into the dark valley of fourteen hundred years. Behind her the graves of Caesar and Sallust and Cicero and Catullus and Vergil and Horace; before her centuries of madness and treading down; round about her a multitude sickening of luxury, their houses filled with spoil, their mouths with folly, their souls with discontent; above her only mystery and silence; in her train, philosophers questioning if it were not better for a man had he never been born-deeming life a misfortune and extinction the only happiness; poets singing no more of pleasantries and trifles, but seeking favor with poor obscenities.

Excerpt from Eben Holden: A Tale of the North Country This book has grown out of such enforced leisure as one may find in a busy life. Chap ters begun in the publicity of a Pullman car have been finished in the cheerless solitude of a hotel chamber. Some have had their begin ning in a sleepless night and their end in a day of bronchitis. A certain pious farmer in the north country when, like Agricola, he was about to die, requested the doubtful glory of this epitaph: He was a poor sinner, but he done his best. Save for the fact that I am an excellent sinner, in a literary sense, the words may stand for all the apology I have to make. The characters were mostly men and women I have known and who left with me a love of my kind that even a wide experience with knavery and misfortune has never dissipated.
