A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

For this edition, the Introduction has been in part rewritten in order to combine, for convenience of reference, all the matter that was formerly divided between the Introduction and the A ppendices; in deference to the wishes of some who are using the book, the long vowels have been marked in the four speeches r.gainst Catiline; illustrations and maps have been added; and many mistakes that had crept into the first edition have been corrected. A word should be said about the character of the I ntroduction. It is a familiar complaint among college lexaminers that school graduates often betray a pitiful lack of exact knowledge of the most elementary facts of ancient history. Every class in Latin, however, if the instructor does his duty, receives during the last three years of the school course information enough to make up a considerable body of historical knowledge. The trouble seems to lie in the fragmentary manner in which the information is imparted. The efl Port has here been made, therefore, to supply in the introductory pages the necessary historical background in a systematic form. This is given under the caption The Last Century of the Republic. Though only a summary, it at least provides a historical perspective along with the essential facts in the development and decay of the republican constitution. With a few alterations and additions, the material for this summary comes mainly from the article on Kome in Johnson s Universal Cyclopaedia.
