Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selections From Latin Classic Authors; Phædrus, Justin, Nepos: With Notes and a Vocabulary IN presenting to the public this, the first of the series of the Greek and Latin authors, included in the new programme of the studies of the Latin School, the editors think it desirable to state in a few words the plan which has been adopted. The present state of classical learning demands that the scholar shall be able, at the close of his course of study, to read a Latin author with a facility which the methods hitherto pursued of studying the language have rendered impossible. To arrive at the desired result, and to secure the greatest possible interest on the part of the pupil, a programme has been prepared embracing a wide range of the ancient classics. As in many cases it is impossible that the whole of an author should be read, the editors have undertaken the task of making such selections as shall contribute to the most rapid and pleasant ad vancement of the pupil. It has been assumed that in the books preparatory to this series the scholar has become tolerably Well acquainted with the usual constructions and the more common words. Therefore such notes have been added as may enable him, by casting his eye to the bottom of the page, to go forward with his reading, without being retarded by difficulties of construction or translation. References, however, have been added, for the use of those pupils who may wish to consult their Grammars upon the points elucidated.
