Excerpt from C. Sallusti Crispi Bellum Catilinæ: With Introduction, Revised Text, Notes and Vocabulary

As the present work contains two features new to secondary school editions, a brief word of justification will not seem out of place.

It has been the general practice hitherto to give the very numerous grammatical references called for in an edition of this character at each and every passage in the Commentary where some syntactical usage is discussed or pointed out. This method not only involves a consid crable sacrifice of space, but it naturally acts as a deter rent upon the pupil, who is notoriously averse to the con stant looking up of grammatical references in any case. I have, therefore, resorted to the expedient of relieving the Notes of this burden by giving all references to stand ard grammars once for all under separate headings in the Introduction, a single numeral in the Notes pointing to the paragraph in the Introduction, where a pupil, if he be so minded, can find the desired information.
