Synopsis
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Dr. Johnson thus defines Latin: An exercise practised by schoolboys who turn English into Latin. Without accepting the limitations implied in this Johnsonian definition, teachers of classics will probably agree that the practice of Latin Prose Composition supplies them with their most efifective instrument for teaching clearness of thought and purity of style. It has been thought, therefore, that a collection of specimens of work done in this department of scholarship by those who either are, or have been, teachers in our great schools and Universities, cannot fail to be of interest to all friends of classical education. It is hoped that the names to be found in the list of contributors to this volume will be a guarantee that it is fairly representative of the best Latin scholarship of this country at the present day.
