Excerpt from The Aeneid of Vergil: Book XII The ostensible subject of the poem is the story of Aeneas, his escape from the sack of Troy, his wanderings by land and sea, his settlement in Italy, his conquest of the natives, and his foundation of the state which was afterwards to be Rome. It is, in some sort, not only an imitation of Homer, in detail as well as in general form, but also a continuation of it, tracing back, as the current legend ...

Excerpt from Aeneidos, Vol. 1 In preparing this volume I have had in view the needs of those who are beginning the study of Vergil.

I hope the simple derivation of words given in the Vocabulary will be'especially useful. I have found it not only adds interest to a boy's Work to see the connex...
