Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Cornelius Nepos: With Notes, Historical and Explanatory The popularity of Cornelius Nepos as a text-book for schools would appear, by this time, tube sufficiently well established. It certainly forms a very attractive work for the younger class of students; but there is need, at the same time, of great care being exercised as regards many of the historical and geographical details, which are either carelessly or incorrectly stated; to say nothing of certain questions of Latinity that occasionally arise. It is with especial reference to these matters that the present edition has been prepared; and it is hoped that the attempt has proved so far successful, that the work of Nepos may now be placed in the hands of the young student without any danger of his imbibing from its perusal confused and erroneous notions relative to many important points of history, chronology, and geography. It is surprising, indeed, to see, among the numerous editions of Nepos published for the use of schools, how very few contain any corrections whatever of the writers misstatements. None of the editions that have thus far appeared with English notes seem, so far as they have fallen under the editors personal observation, to have taken any express notice of these various discrepancies; and, the same charge applies equally well to many of the school editions that have appeared even in Germany.
