Munro, Hugh Andrew Johnstone

A brilliant classical scholar, born at Elgin, in Scotland, in 1819. He was educated at Shrewsbury and the University of Cambridge, and was elected to a fellowship in 1843. From 1869 to 1872 he filled the Latin chair at Cambridge. He died at Rome, March 30, 1885. Professor Munro's greatest work is his edition of Lucretius (2 vols. 1864; 4th ed. 1885), a remarkable monument of learning, taste, and critical skill, and accompanied by a prose translation that is itself a classic. He also edited Horace (1869), and wrote Criticisms and Elucidations of Catullus (1878), besides publishing many minor papers and a good deal of excellent Greek and Latin verse. See a memoir in the (English) Journal of Philology for 1885.
