#This Work# differs in many respects from the former edition. Such
changes and alterations have been introduced as are necessary to make
the book conform to modern demands, and many important additions have
also been made.
#The Introduction# has been enlarged by the addition of sections on the
life and writings of Virgil, the plan of the Aeneid, the meter,
manuscripts, editions, and helpful books of reference.
#The Text# has been corrected to conform to the readings that have
become established, and the spellings are in accord with the evidence of
inscriptions of the first century A.D. To meet the need of early
assistance in reading the verse metrically, the long vowels in the first
two books are fully indicated.
#The Notes# have been thoroughly revised and largely added to. The old
grammar references are corrected and new ones (to Harkness's Complete,
Lane & Morgan's, and Bennett's Grammars) added. The literary
appreciation of the poet is increased by parallel quotations from
English literature. The irregularities of scansion in each book are also
given with sufficient explanations.
#The Vocabulary# has been made as simple as possible and includes only
those words occurring in the Aeneid. The parts of compound words are not
indicated separately when they appear unmodified in the compound form.
The principal parts of verbs are given which are understood to be in
actual use.
#The Illustrations# for the most part are new and fresh, and have been
selected with great care with a view to assisting directly in the
interpretation of the text. There are also maps showing the wanderings
of Aeneas, the vicinity of Cumae, and pre-historic Rome, and a full-page
facsimile of one of the best manuscripts of Virgil, the Codex Palatinus.
