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 have endeavoured to make the notes simple and concise, and such as my experience has taught me are likely to be useful to the average Fourth Form boy. 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 connexion between words, but helps him enormously to acquire a vocabulary. I must acknowledge my indebtedness to many editions of Vergil, the help of which I have acknowledged where I could. I must also acknow ledge the valuable help derived from Prof. Sellar's Roman Poets of the Augusta Age, Nettleship's Fu'mer of Vergil, and Cruttwell's History of Roman Literature and some suggestions from Saintsbury's History of English Literature. Also for the para graph on Metres of Vergil I have received great help from Nixon's Parallel Extracts for Translation into Latin Verse. I must also give my grateful thanks to the executors of the late Mr. William Morris for permission to quote a passage from his translation.
