Excerpt from Cambridge Compositions: Greek and Latin

The editors gratefully acknowledge their obligations to all who have placed at their disposal materials for this volume. In the selection, as it is designed to meet the practical needs of schoolmasters and to provide an advanced course of composition, preference has been given to short and simple passages for translation, showing considerable variety of style and subject, yet at the same time some affinity to the classical models. Longer poems, extracts suited for translation in the less familiar metres and dialects, abstruse or intractable specimens of English prose have been sparingly introduced. The fair copies, now for the first time published, have been carefully revised with the general aim of ensuring correctness; but in regard to orthography no rigid uniformity has been enforced.
