Excerpt from Publius Virgulius Maro: Bucolica, Georgica, Et Æneis Accedunt Clavis Metrica, Notulæ Anglicæ, Et Quæstiones, Nec Non Index Vocabularum Uberrima, In Usum Scholæ BostoniensisIn preparing the Notes, free use has been made of all the materials within the editor's reach. In all cases, where it could consistently be done, the authority has been given, except where the notes of Mr. Valpy's edition have been adopted. These, as his own remarks are fi'equently blended with other author ities, have not been particularly designated. The notes of the learned I. H. Voss were first made English for that edi tion, to which notes this is likewise indebted.

In the vast variety of materials resented, it has been found difficult to be sufficiently concise. Igor it is to say much upon Virgil, but difficult to say a little to the point. Boys will not voluntarily read long notes, even in their vernacular tongue, much less in a foreign langutzge. But, when embarrass ed, they will seek relief from notes, th y are short.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
