Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Selected Lives From Cornelius Nepos: Edited for the Use of Schools, With Notes and Vocabulary Perhaps it may be fairly claimed for Nepos, that his history offers a subject more likely to appeal to the average pupil than the writings of any other Latin author of equal difficulty. Biography, if not spun out too fine, seldom fails to excite interest. Cæsar, probably indispensable in some part of the preparatory course, has no claim to possess the field to the exclusion of so interesting an author as Nepos. Hitherto in American schools the general practice adopted in Latin study has been to train the pupil in six weeks or six months for reading Cæsar, to thrust him into the study of Cæsar before he is ready for it and to keep him there until he becomes thoroughly tired of the famous general´s campaigns and perhaps of Latin as well, and then to seek to revive him with a taste of Vergil´s poetry. Now, however, there are indications everywhere of a healthy reaction against this practice, and the idea is fast gaining ground that the prose of the preparatory course should be more varied for the benefit of both teacher and pupil. As affording suitable material for such variety the "Lives of Nepos" have a special claim to recognition.
