Excerpt from An Introduction to Latin Lyric Verse Composition
IN the previous Introduction to Latin Elegfiacs, drawn up three years ago, I had chiefly in view the require~ ments of learners in my own class at St. Paul's. The present little work has been prepared with an eye to What such boys would be likely to require, when enter ing on the work of a higher form. My horizon has thus been a very limited one and the only compensat ing advantage that can be looked for, is some reasonable familiarity with what lies within it. Whether, on this account, the book may be such as to prove serviceable to others, I do not hazard any opinion.
