Excerpt from M. Tulli Ciceronis Cato Maior De Senectute: Edited With Introduction and Notes

The De Senectute is usually given a place in the early part of the college course, when training in the reading of the Latin is imperatively needed To assist the student in acquiring greater accuracy in pronunciation, the long vowels in the text have been marked. In this Lewis has been taken as a guide, and both his Latin Dictionary for Schools and his Elementary Latin Dictionary have been consulted. It is earnestly hoped that this feature may be welcomed by teachers, and may prove to be of practical value. It must be remembered, however, that absolute accuracy in mark ing quantities is out of the questiozn.

The Introduction has been made somewhat full in order to present, in convenient form, a sketch of Cicero's life, with a brief account of what he has accomplished in literature, and more especially in philosophy. In the preparation of the sections which bear upon his standing as a philosopher and his relation to the leading schools, Mayor's admirable Sketch of Greek Philoso phy has been very helpful.
