CAESAR'S COMMENTARIES
on the Gallic War. With Explanatory Notes, a Vocabulary, Geographical
Index, Map of Gaul, Plan of the Bridge, &c., &c. By Prof. George Stuart.
Price by mail, postpaid, $1.25. Per dozen, by express, $11.25.
The text of Caesar has been carefully compared with that of Kraner,
Oehler, Nepperdey, and other distinguished editors. Much care has been
bestowed upon this portion of the work, and it is hoped that whatever
improvements have been introduced into the text by the learning and
research of the German editors named, will be found in the present
edition.
The Notes have been prepared with a very simple view,--to give the
student that amount and kind of assistance which are really necessary to
render his study profitable; to remove difficulties greater than his
strength; and to afford or direct him to the sources of such information
as is requisite to a thorough understanding of the author.
VIRGIL'S AENEID.
With Explanatory Notes, Metrical Index, Remarks on Classical
Versification, Index of Proper Names, &c. By Prof. Thomas Chase. Price
by mail, postpaid, $1.50. Per dozen, by express, $13.50.
The text of the AEneid here presented is based upon a careful collation
of the editions of Heyne, Wagner, Conington, Ladewig, and Ribbeck, with
frequent reference to other standard authorities, and with constant and
especial regard to the testimony of the best manuscripts. In the
preparation of the Notes, the endeavor has been made to meet the actual
wants of students in our schools. Frequent references are made to the
grammars most in use, and explanations are furnished of passages
difficult of interpretation, of peculiarities of syntax, and of such
points of history, geography, mythology, and antiquities, as require
elucidation. A metrical index has been added, in which the chief
difficulties of scanning are solved. One thing is presumed
throughout,--that the student will make a faithful use of his grammar
and dictionary, the only way in which true scholars are made.
CICERO AND HORACE will be issued about Dec. 1868.
SALLUST AND LIVY, during the following year.
The unprecedented demand for the first two volumes of this Series during
the past few months evidences their adaptation to the actual wants of
the recitation room. Testimonials have been received from a large number
of the most flourishing classical institutions of the country, in which
they have already been adopted as text-bo
