Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Fasti of Ovid
G rammatical difficulties I have never slurred over, remembering one golden rule of my own school days, Never dare to paraphrase unless you are able to give a literal construe.' At the same the I have aimed at making the notes interesting from various points of view. Wherever it could be done with advantage, references have been given to the little pictures, as well as to the text, of Dr. Smith's small Roman History, sometimes to Dean Liddell's Student's Rome. The two maps, especially the larger one, will I hope be very useful. Recognising the growing immrtance of the subject, I have given in a short Introduction 7) and in the Notes, a good deal of philological matter. Mythology and antiquities of course hold an important place.
