Professor Haverfield: A Bibliography

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  24 September 2012

Extract

The wholly unexpected death of Francis Haverfield on October 1st, 1919, was a grievous loss to the Roman Society. More than any other single individual he had been behind the impulse that led to its foundation. He was its first President, and during his five years' tenure of office he toiled unceasingly to promote its welfare. The Journal in particular owes much to his guiding hand. It will be generally agreed that a tribute to his memory is due. Yet he would probably have thought that a mere personal notice of himself was scarcely appropriate here. A bibliography is different. He was a voluminous writer and, when he wrote with serious intent, his writing was so extraordinarily relevant that it will be unsafe for future workers to neglect what he has said. For the most part, however, his contributions to learning are scattered here and there through a multitude of publications. A list of them is therefore calculated to be of real value to the progress of the studies that lay so near his own heart. In a memorial with such a specific purpose he would certainly have acquiesced.
