Book excerpt: Excerpt from Helps to the Intelligent Study of College Preparatory Latin This little manual need but a brief explanation of its appearance. Who was Caesar? Who were the Gauls? Why did Caesar subdue them? What kind of a soldier was he? How did Vergil look? What sort of a man was he? What kind of hexameter did he write? What did Cicero make all this fuss about? Who was this man, Catilline? was he as bad as Cicero makes him out? How may Cicero's literary style be described? To many a student in our preparatory schools such questions as the foregoing are unanswered conundrums till long after he has left the school and entered the college. These pages are designed to tell him, as well as his teacher, where to find the answers in the briefest possible time. It is not meant to belong to the teacher only. Put a copy in the hands of every student; give five minutes in each recitation to the discussion of some point which he has been required to look up with the help of the references given; encourage individual research; and the student will understand, and enjoy Caesar, Cicero, and Vergil. No attempt has been made to furnish an exhaustive list of authorities, but rather those most available and useful. Those portions of the three authors mentioned above which are commonly read in most fitting schools are the basis of the references. To cover the whole ground of every course of study is manifestly impracticable. When pages are given, the number refers to the page on which the passage begins. As a rule, the edition referred to in these pages is mentioned only the first time the work is named. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
