Excerpt from Selections: Books V and Vi These Selections are intended for boys who can make out the easier portions Of Caesar, but are not yet able to cope With the longer and more involved sentences of Livy. They have been simplified mainly by the omission of complicated periods or by splitting these up into shorter sentences, where they seemed neces sary to the sense. This has been specially the method adopted in dealing With the speeches. In a few cases the order of the Words has been altered, where, by so doing, the construction could be made plainer. An Appendix on the Subjunctive Mood has been added, by referring to which a boy can understand the use of most, if not all, of the subjunctives Occurring in the text - an object of which the importance can, perhaps, hardly be overestimated. Continual refer ence has been made in the Notes to this Appendix. On grammatical points, Roby's School Latin Grammar has been referred to as Roby, S. L. G.'
