Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Histories Of Caius Cornelius Tacitus: With Notes For Colleges
IR this Revised Edition, the text and the notes have been carefully collated With those of Ritter in his new edition (bonn and Cambridge, and such corrections and additions, as were deemed just and important, have been adopted from this source. I cannot, however, by any means, accept the many gratuitous emendations and dogmatic assertions which disfig nre and depreciate this otherwise excellent commentary. Other corrections and improvements have also been made, which have been suggested by use of the book in classes, or to which my attention has been called, whether by private correspond ence, or by notices and reviews in the public journals. I have been especially indebted to the critical acumen and accurate scholarship of my friend, Mr. Charles Short, of Roxbury, wri ting in the Bibliotheca Sacra, for not a few valuable sugges tions and amendments.
