In the present Edition, the only decided alteration I have ventured to make is in the matter of orthography, as to the true principles of which so much progress has been made by modern scholars. In accordance with the now generally received conclusions of the best authorities, I have written uniformly caelum, caelestis, caeruleus, cetera, fenus, fetus, femina, fenum, maeror, maestus, haedus, nequiquam, quicquam, umquam, numquam, tamquam, etc., inserted the p in such forms as sumptus, ademptus, etc., and made a few other unimportant changes of a similar character. With regard to the difficult question of assimilation I have left the orthography as it stood.

With these exceptions the work remains, both in form and substance, absolutely unchanged.
