Scope and content
Narrative piece about Coryat [a figure often used by Trevelyan as a sort of self-representation] having trouble writing anything new [pp 2-11]; story about Saint Francis encountering the ghost of Gaius Flaminius, defeated by Hannibal at Lake Trasimene (dated 14 May 1933); draft letter to 'G.' [Goldsworthy Lowes Dickinson, after his death?] about the immortality of the soul and Lucretian/Epicurean philosophy, perhaps intended as an introduction to Trevelyan's translation of "De Rerum Natura" [some pages in the middle of the book, sides of endpapers, and page 1]; several pieces of draft verse.
