Présentation de l'éditeur
It is not a book to be studied and labored over though, again, on the other hand, it is designed to be such that some study and labor spent on it would prove to have been pains not ill bestowed. It is, however, pre-eminently a book to be simply read and enjoyed. It is not prepared for any one particular class of persons exclusively, but unless we should except Latin specialists for all classes of persons alike. It is in no sense a technical book. It conveys information, but it is information that every intelligent reader will be glad to acquire; and it seeks to convey that information in a way to make the process itself of acquiring it not only easy, but agreeable. What is the nature, and what the extent, of the information sought thus to be conveyed, the first chapter of the book will sufficiently show. The term Preparatory, found in the title of the volume, admits a word of explanation. It is there used in a certain special or limited sense. In the business of liberal education, this term has, by common consent, been adopted to designate and describe that course of preliminary training which prepares the student for admission to college.

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.
