Excerpt from P. Vergili Maronis Bucolica, Georgica, Aeneis: The Works of Virgil, With a Commentary and Appendices; For the Use of Schools and Colleges I. The Notes in this book were begun in 1856, but, from causes explained in my former Preface, not finished before 1875. The work was undertaken at the request of one who lived to see, but did not long survive, its publication. I mean my accomplished friend, the late Mr. William longman, whose premature death was a great public as well as private loss. II. In this second edition three divisions of the former commentary (translation, vocabulary, and notes) are fused in one, and numerical reference made more distinct. This change unavoidably swells the size of the volume, which also contains an enlarged Syntax and Indices, with a verse translation of the Eclogues. III. Those who study the Virgilian Syntax should com pare with it the Second Appendix to the Public School Latin Primer (1878 and later), which treats concisely, but carefully, of Moods and Compound Construction.
