THE present edition has been carefully revised, in accordance with the opinion of high educational authorities, in order to render this volume of selections from Catullus perfectly suitable for school reading. At the same time, from the scholar's point of view, a thorough recension has been made of the text, and the Appendices have been verified and augmented. The Notes also have been reviewed and improved, and include observations furnished by Mr. Munro, to whose kind criticism I am much indebted. I am also obliged to Mr. T. Agar (late Junior Student of Christ Church) for valuable corrections. F. P. S. October, 1879. |
