A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

My book) however, is not so much a classroom manual as a volume for supplementary reading. In choosing the selections, I have been influenced mainly by the desire to provide immature pupils with a variety of extended, imified, and interesting extracts on matters which a textbook treats with necessary, though none the less deplorable, condensation. Particular emphasis, therefore, has been placed on biography and entertaining narrative. If tjie work shall help to arouse in the students mind an attitude of sympathetic appreciation for the great characters and the great deeds of classical antiquity, it will have fulfilled its purpose. I wish to acknowledge here with hearty thanks the permission graciously granted to me by theD elegates of the Clarendon Press and by Prof. A. W. Mair of Edinburgh University, to use the extracts from Hesiod, by Messrs. G. Bell andS ons, to reproduce certain passages fromM r. E. J. Chinnock sversion of A rrian, and by theW alterS cott Publishing Company, to insert various letters of Pliny theY oimger, as rendered by Mr. J. B. Firth. The selections from Xenophon, translated by the late H. G. Dakyns, and from Caesar, translated by Mr. T. Rice Holmes, are used through an agreement with the publishers, Macmillan and Company, London.
