Note
This portion of Book IV did not appear in Trevelyan's "Translations from Lucretius", published around August 1920. Letters from Trevelyan to his son Julian reveal that he is 'plugging away at Lucretius' again by May 1931; his translation of the entire "De Rerum Natura" was published in September 1937.
