The publication of this edition of the Classics was suggested by the
constantly increasing demand by teachers for an edition which, by
judicious notes, would give to the student the assistance really
necessary to render his study profitable, furnishing explanations of
passages difficult of interpretation, of peculiarities of syntax, &c.,
and yet would require him to make faithful use of his grammar and
dictionary.
It is believed that this Classical Series needs only to be known to
insure its very general use. The publishers claim for it peculiar merit,
and beg leave to call attention to the following important particulars:
The purity of the texts.
The clearness and conciseness of the notes, and their adaptation to the
wants of students.
The beauty of the type and paper.
The handsome style of binding.
The convenience of the shape and size.
The low price at which the volumes are sold.
The preparation of the whole Series is the _original work_ of American
scholars.
The texts are not _mere reprints_, but are based upon a careful and
painstaking comparison of _all the most improved editions_, with
constant reference to the authority of the best manuscripts.
No pains have been spared to make the notes accurate, clear, and
_helpful to the learner_. Points of geography, history, mythology, and
antiquities are explained in accordance with the views of the best
German scholars. The references to the grammars most in use in this
country, viz.:
HARKNESS'S LATIN GRAMMAR
AND
ANDREWS & STODDARD'S LATIN GRAMMAR,
is in itself an advantage to be gained only by the use of this edition.
Desirous of affording Professors and Teachers of Latin throughout the
entire country an opportunity of becoming acquainted with these books,
the publishers will send copies for examination, gratis, to every
Teacher of Latin in the United States, on application, accompanied by a
catalogue of the institution with which he is connected, or of which he
is the Principal.
