Sinopsis
Excerpt from Selected Letters of Pliny: With Introduction and Notes
There are already before the public so many editions of Selections from Pliny's Letters that I should not have ventured, without the invitation of the general editors of this series, to put forth another. Compliance with their request, however, has been a labor of love, and I trust it may prove not altogether labor lost.
The publication of the whole of the Letters, with an adequate commentary in English, has for some time seemed to me a very desirable work, - a work which I should like in future to attempt, should it not meantime be undertaken by one better qualified for the task. Such an edition should be based upon a new reading of the manuscripts, as is conspicuously shown by a comparison of Keil's edition with Professor Merrill's collation of the Codex Riccardianus in the American Journal of Philology, for December, 1895.
My obligations, in the preparation of my Introduction and Notes, have been chiefly to Mommsen's important article on the Younger Pliny, in Hermes, III.; to Kraut's and Lagergren's dissertations on the language and style of Pliny; and in a more general sense to the various editors cited in the list on page xli of the Introduction and the Abbreviations on page 128. Indebtedness in detail I have been careful to acknowledge specifically.
The text is that of Keil, with a few changes.
