Author Description

Excerpt from Livy: Books I, XXI, and XXII; With Brief Introduction and Commentary and Numerous Illustrations A few Hints on Translation have been added, with the hope that they may lead the student to a more sympathetic appreciation of Latin idiom, and stimulate him to a more spirited and elegant ren dering of the original. In the explanation of the various syntactical usages, the nomencla ture recommended by the American Philological Association and the Modern Languages Association has been adopted. The editor is under many obligations to Professor Charles Upson Clark, of Yale University, and to Professor Charles L. Durham, of Cornell University, for their kindness in reading the proof and for many valuable criticisms and suggestions; to Professor Lodge for generous help and counsel.
