Excerpt from Ovid: Selections for the Use of Schools; With Introductions and Notes and an Appendix on the Roman Calendar MY object in drawing up the commentary attached to the following extracts from Tibullus and Ovid has been to lighten the labour of the classical instructor, and at the same time to render the progress of the pupil more rapid and satisfactory. All the information contained might nu doubtedly be communicated orally, but by adhering to this method exclusively, especially in conveying the knowledge of simple facts, I have found by experience that much time is consumed which might be more profitably em ployed. Mere references, to even the most common books, are very generally neglected, especially by young readers. In most cases, therefore, where the Latin authors could supply passages bearing directly upon any question which it was desirable to illustrate, these have been quoted at full length, and will themselves form useful exercises for the student. At the same time, the authorities for important statements are given at the bottom of each page, in order that all who have time, opportunity, and inclination, may be enabled to examine every point thoroughly, and verify every assertion.
