Price, $1.10
This edition of the Lives of Cornelius Nepos is virtually a new
work rather than a revision. The material of former editions
has been recast and enlarged. The text has been thoroughly
revised, and the notes and vocabulary entirely rewritten.
The grammatical references have been placed at the foot of
the text-page. The text has over fifty illustrations and a
fine double page map of the Roman Empire, Greece and the
Chersonesus. The dates of all important events are given in
the text. The notes are accurate and explain all difficulties,
not giving mere translations without hinting at their sources.
The English-Latin exercises have been rewritten and cover the
full text of the twenty-five Lives. These exercises, while easy
and forming connected sense, give thorough drill on special or
difficult constructions.
Text Edition
For use in recitations and examinations a separate volume is
provided, containing the text alone. This edition will be
furnished at 40 cents per copy. Teachers whose classes use
the complete annotated edition will be supplied with the Text
Edition at special introductory terms. Correspondence and
orders should specify “Text Edition.”
_Copies of Lindsay’s Cornelius Nepos will be sent prepaid to
any address, on receipt of the price, by the Publishers_:

Introduction to the Study of Latin Inscriptions
By JAMES C. EGBERT, Jr., Ph.D., Adjunct Professor of Latin,
Columbia University. Half Morocco, large 12mo, 468 pages. With
numerous illustrations and exact reproductions of inscriptions.
Price, $3.50
This work is designed as a text-book for the use of students
in Universities and Colleges, and also to furnish an account
of this branch of archaeological study for general readers. It
has been prepared in the belief that a knowledge of epigraphy
forms an essential part of the equipment of a teacher of the
classics, and that the subject itself has become so important
as to justify its introduction, in elementary form at least,
into the curriculum of undergraduate studies.
A distinctive feature of the book is the number and character
of its illustrations,--there being over seven hundred cuts
and diagrams of inscriptions, for the purpose of illustrating
the text, and for practice in reading. Of these, over one
hundred are photographic reproductions, showing the forms of
the letters and the arrangement of the inscriptions. The work
is also supplied with an exhaustive bibliography and valuable
tables of abbreviations, archaisms, etc.
Public-domain text, read in full here on John Shaqi.
