Excerpt from Preparatory Latin Prose-Book: Containing All the Latin Prose Necessary for Entering College, With References to Harkness's and Andrews and Stoddard's Latin Grammar, Notes, Critical and Explanatory, a Vocabulary, and a Geographical and Historical Index
In the preparation of the notes, my aim has been to do neither too much nor too little; to render such assistance, and such only, as seemed to be necessary to enable the pupil, by the full exercise of his own powers, to master his task. I have not hesitated to translate, where translation was really needed, but have, in general, relied more upon the various other means of elucidating the meaning of the text, than upon this. In cases of a free translation of idiomatic expressions, a strictly literal, or more literal translation is usually added.
