Excerpt from Remnants of Early Latin

N undertaking this little book I proposed to myself to get together in small compass, and in a convenient shape for read ing and reference, such of the remains of the earliest Latin - pri marily inscriptions - as are most important as monuments of the language, with enough explanation to make them fairly intel ligible. The need of such a collection had been felt, I found, by others as well as myself, and this need had been only partly met by Wordsworth's Fragments and Specimens of Early Latin (london, a work which, with all its merits, is cumber some, ill arranged for reference, and too expensive to be widely circulated. The present book is designed first of all for the more advanced of our college students, but I venture to hope that maturer Scholars may find it useful as a convenient handbook, since it comprises within a few pages matter somewhat scattered and not very generally accessible.
