It is believed that this will give more time for word mastery, and also enable the student to get the thought of the author far better than if he were interrupted in his thinking by looking in the back of the book. This vocabulary usually gives the meaning of a word, not merely on its first occurrence, but several times, until it is marked for permanent mastery. It is intended that words so marked be reviewed repeatedly that they may not be forgotten. The preliminary lists were made by comparison of sixteen beginning books in general use. The definitions of the words were written after examining the passages in which they occur in Gallic War, I-VII, Oatine, I-IV, Manilian Law, Archias, and Aeneid, I-VI. That this book may be used with any edition of Caesar, the various manuscript readings have been compared and the words are all given in their proper place, but brackets enclose those which seem to belong to erroneous readings. The number of words marked for memorization is 868. Of these 390 are nouns (83 of these proper nouns), 283 are verbs, and 273 other parts of speech. Of the 307 common nouns, 243 occur in the parts of Cicero mentioned above and 201 in Aeneid, I-VI. Of the 283 verbs, 207 are in the Cicero and 199 in the Vergil. Of the 273 adjectives, etc., 219 are in the Cicero and 191 in the Vergil. Of the 92 words (excluding proper nouns) in neither, all are much like English or related to words of common occurrence or,of great frequency in the Gallic War. It is thought the treatment of related words and of synonyms will be found to be most acceptable. The author is especially grateful to Professor J. C. Mes sick, of Ohio Wesleyan University, for a careful reading of the proof and very valuable criticisms. His thanks are due also to Mrs. Edna R. Thornton Lake, of Hamilton, Ohio, for a critical reading of the manuscript; to Professor S. C. Derby, of Ohio State University, and Dean C. N. Cole, of Oberlin College, for kindly encouragement; and to Dean Frank B. Trotter, of West Virginia University, for courtesies in connection with the publication.
