Excerpt from Selections From Viri Romae: With Notes, Exercises, and Vocabulary
Throughout the book the quantity of all long vowels has been marked. This is due to a suggestion made some years ago by Professor William Gardner Hale of the University of Chicago (at that time of Cornell University), who has been kind enough to read the proofs of the text and vocabulary, but with reference to quantities only. Except in the case of a few obvious misprints, Lewis's Latin Dictionary for Schools and Elementary Latin Dictionary have been followed, the latter as the more recent work being given the preference in the cases where the two books do not agree. While reserving his opinion on several points of acknowledged difficulty, Professor Hale has agreed with me that it would be unwise, in a volume intended for school use, to run the risk of confusion by differing from the books which seem likely to be the standard for some years to come.
Thanks are also due for assistance to Professor Francis W. Kelsey and Mr. W. K. Clement, of the University of Michigan. Besides many helpful suggestions Professor Kelsey has allowed the use of the advance sheets of his vocabulary to Cicero, from which a few definitions have been taken.
A few Hints on Method are given on p. Xi, in which the plan of the book is more fully explained.
