Evelyn Shirley Shuckburgh (1843-1906) of Norfolk wrote a number of books on Greek and Roman history. He also spent much of his life translating Cicero, but must have been undeceived judging by the wisdom expressed in his biography of Tully's proscriptioner, Caesar Augustus.
Augustus: The Life and Times of the Founder of the Roman Empire was published by Shuckburgh in 1903. It apparently followed just after John B. Firth's Augustus Caesar and the Organization of the Empire of Rome which was copyrighted in 1902. Firth's opening line of his Preface was "There is, so far as I have been able to ascertain, no biography in English of Augustus." In 2023, our own Yomigaeru Kingdom snatched both books from public domain, converted the texts from British to Universal English, added new covers and illustrations, and released remastered versions in responsive web design. Thanks mainly to these authors, there are now two Augustus biographies not only in English, but also easily accessible by modern digital devices such as phones and tablets.
Shuckburgh brought to English Suetonius' Life of Augustus in 1896. He admirably states that his own 1903 biography of the Emperor "is founded on a study as complete as I could make it of the ancient authorities and sources of information without conscious imitation of any modern writer." He tried to "to discriminate between irresponsible rumors and historical facts" better than did Suetonius, and fill in the later part of the reign better than did "plain and honest" Cassius Dio.
