Excerpt from Livy: With Notes and Vocabulary

This edition of the Twenty-first Book of Livy is based on Mr. Capes's larger work, and is, indeed, to a great extent, an abridgment of it, brought within the limits of the Elementary Classics series. Many of Mr. Capes's notes, moreover, have been copied word for word, and' most of his translations have been so re produced. His Geographical Notes have been re tained, as far as was consistent with the limits of the present work; but those on Etymology, History, and Antiquities have necessarily been much curtailed to meet the requirements of the class of boys for whom the series is meant. Parts of Mr. Capes's Historical Introductions have been worked into the notes.

The additions consist chiefly of translations of pas sages diificult in themselves, or such as would bahe the ordinary boy's attempts to put into idiomatic English, and of remarks on constructions. Refer ences are given to the Revised Latin Primer and to Roby's Latin Grammar.
