Excerpt from Horae Latinae
Though Dr. Ogilvie had no prolonged training in Classics before he entered Marischal College, Aberdeen, the few months' tuition that he enjoyed under Dr. Melvin, Hector of the Aberdeen Grammar School, inspired him with the interest that he ever after felt, especially in. The nice discrimination of Latin words, and in the collection and collation of examples illustrating their usages. 'hile, how ever, he distinguished himself in Classics at the University, yet most of his energy was devoted to the study of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy, in which he stood always first. He gained Gray's Mathematical Bursary of £60, and was also awarded the Silver Medal, the Gold Medal being won by his distinguished classfellow, now Principal Miller, D.D., LL.D., just promoted to be Vice C-hancellor of the University of Madras.

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.
