Description
Excerpt from Epaminondas, Hannibal, Cato
This volume is intended for boys Of the Upper Third or Lower Fourth Forms. Too much study of Caesar''s campaigns in Gaul, his desultory wars, his negotiations (in reported Speech) with Ariovis tus, and the building Of difficult bridges, are apt to be a weariness to the young student, and in choos ing the lives of Epaminondas, Hannibal, and Cato, the object is to give greater variety and interest to a term''s work. The vocabulary and notes together should be a sufficient aid to a boy in his study of Nepos, and such explanations and historical parallels as have been thought necessary are to be found in the notes. I know from experience that the average schoolboy pays scant regard to the introduction, but eagerly searches for construing aids. My Object is, that while thus engaged, he may be induced to notice such explanations as may.
