A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In the previous Introduction to Latin Elegiacs, drawn up three years ago, I had chiefly in view the requirements of learners in my own class at St. Paul s. The present little work has been prepared with an eye to what such boys would be likely to require, when entering on the work of a higher form. My horizon has thus been a very limited one ;and the only compensating advantage that can be looked for, is some reasonable familiarity with what lies within it. Whether, on this account, the book may be such as to prove serviceable to others, I do not hazard any opinion. Wliile reading often with the liveliest admiration the imitations of ancient poets by modern classical scholars, I have been increasingly struck with what seems to me a defect, pervading the work of all but the finished masters of the art, a defect, not in the execution, but in the materials used.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
