Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Palæstra, Vol. 2 of 3: Being the Primer of the Tusculan System of Learning, and of Teaching Latin to Speak; For Class Use and for Self-Instruction
It was this third, newly-written edition of palestra which was to be published by Messrs. Harper Brothers, and which was dormant since their going out of business. Since then another large publishing house has taken up the case, with the result that their experts have taken stand against the attempt, and a third firm has also made overtures in the same direction with much the same result. Thus, while business men, prae tical people, were ready and anxious to invest money in this venture and effect a change for the better, fertilizing the barren deserts of antiquarianism, inter ests, which I do not care to name, have successfully defeated the cause of improvements and advancement.
