Excerpt from Virgil's Aeneid, Vol. 2: With Introduction, Notes, and Vocabulary
It will be noticed that less help than is usual in simila1 edi tions is given in the way of translation of passages. Instead of this, special care has been taken with the vocabulary, that it may be not merely complete and accurate, but such as to enable the student to render his author neatly and with suit able diction. That the Vocabulary covers six books of the Aeneid will be of advantage in developing the pupil's skill and taste in selecting the right meaning of words, without hamper ing him with too large a choice.
The illustrations, which are adapted from Pinelli's designs, will aid materially in giving vividness and clearness to the pupil's conceptions.
If errors or misprints have eluded observation, the editor will value more highly the kindness which points than the indulgence which overlooks them.
