LIVY AND HORACE

SELECTIONS FROM LIVY, $1.50

Edited by HARRY E. BURTON, Ph.D., Professor of Latin, Dartmouth College. Text Edition, $0.35

These selections are intended to give a more comprehensive idea of Livy’s genius and versatility than can be had from the reading of any one or two books, and also to provide material dealing with the more significant and interesting periods of the early history of Rome. The passages are varied in nature, and are not confined to military history; they are not so short as to appear fragmentary. Each subject is presented in a series of continuous chapters, the notes supplying introductory and explanatory material for a proper understanding of the period. There is a comprehensive introduction, and a complete system of cross-reference.

HORACE. ODES, EPODES, AND CARMEN SAECULARE, $1.50

Edited by CLIFFORD H. MOORE, Ph.D., Professor of Latin, Harvard University. Text Edition, $0.40

While elementary matters have not been neglected in this edition, particular attention has been devoted to the literary side of Horace’s work, and to his literary relations. The introduction, besides dealing with the poet’s life and writings, discusses his lyric metres and peculiarities of syntax. The commentary is not limited to the baldest aids, but is intended to give such assistance in interpretation as may help students to some appreciation of Horace’s art and charm. The relation of the poet to his Greek models, and especially his influence on subsequent Latin literature, are clearly shown.

CICERO

CICERO. CATO MAIOR DE SENECTUTE, $0.80

Edited by FRANK G. MOORE, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Latin and of Roman Archaeology, Dartmouth College. Text Edition, $0.30

An edition embodying much new critical material, and abundant grammatical helps. Unusual attention has been paid to those rhetorical features which are most likely to be misunderstood, to the confusion of the argument, while at the same time both grammar and rhetoric have been treated as a means to an end. The text is supplied with very full footnotes. The scholarly introduction sets forth the character of Cato clearly and impressively, and is supplemented by a comparative list of distinguished old men, and by verses by Pope Leo XIII on Frugality and the Green Old Age. There are critical notes, and an index.

CICERO. LAELIUS DE AMICITIA, $0.75

Edited by CLIFTON PRICE, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Latin, University of California. Text Edition, $0.30

This edition enables the student to understand and interpret the text, and contains enough elementary matter to adapt it to use in the best preparatory schools, and at the same time enough advanced material for the first year in college. The book is complete in itself, the grammatical principles being stated in the notes. The notes at the bottom of the page have been made very comprehensive, and the proper balance has been preserved between the notes on syntax and those on interpretation. The system of cross-reference, and the emphasis laid on the figures of speech and grammar, form strong features of the book.

We issue a Catalogue of High School and College Textbooks, which we have tried to make as valuable and as useful to teachers as possible. In this catalogue are set forth briefly and clearly the scope and leading characteristics of each of our best textbooks. In most cases there are also given testimonials from well-known teachers, which have been selected quite as much for their descriptive qualities as for their value as commendations.

¶ For the convenience of teachers this Catalogue is also published in separate sections treating of the various branches of study. These pamphlets are entitled: English, Mathematics, History and Political Science, Science, Modern Foreign Languages, Ancient Languages, Commercial Subjects, and Philosophy and Education. A single pamphlet is devoted to the Newest Books in all subjects.

¶ Teachers seeking the newest and best books for their classes are invited to send for our Complete High School and College Catalogue, or for such sections as may be of greatest interest.

Errors and Inconsistencies

All typographical errors are listed near their first occurrence. Most are trivial, such as missing or incorrect punctuation, or misplaced macrons in quoted material. The word “invisible” means that there is an appropriately sized blank space but the letter or punctuation mark itself is missing. The notation “macron invisible” applies only to the letter i, and means that the text shows a plain ı (neither dot nor diacritic visible) where the expected form is ī. With other letters it is impossible to know whether the macron is absent or simply invisible.

_Non-Trivial Errors_

_“Ghosts” of first edition_

Long Vowel before -gn:

In the first edition, all words in -gn- were written with preceding long vowel: māgn-, pūgn-, dīgn- and similar. This was changed in the second edition, but some forms remain:

1097 #haec est nōbilis ad Trāsumennum pūgna# 1811 #quae rēs māgnō# 1951b #contendō#, #studeō#, #pūgnō# 2276 #dīgnus# and #indīgnus#

Section Numbering:

Index under Future Tense: / #-ōr#, #-ār#, 68

These subjects are not mentioned in section 68. The references apply to a section in the first edition. The same applies to similar citations under Perfect and Pluperfect.

Index under Present: / #-īt#, #-āt#, #-ēt#, 132

The number is correct for this edition, but the section no longer contains any forms in -īt.

Section 160 (several references)

This section in the first edition seems to have vanished from the revised edition. The only correct references to 160 are those under “T”. Some others may refer to section 127, subsections 3 and 4.

Elsewhere

A few areas mentioned in the Index do not seem to exist. In particular, there are repeated references to Interchange (of sounds). Other missing headers include Affinities, Inducing, Interrogative (by that name) and Quotations, as well as Section 126.6 (genitive singular of _sōlus_). Some of these may have been named in the first edition.
