Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Second Year Latin, Vol. 1
Among the shorter selections are extracts from Pliny the Younger, Cicero, Valerius Maximus, and other ancient writers. To these are added three stories from Erasmus, who may almost be regarded for our purpose as a classic author, but who from his position between ancient and modern life fails nowa days to receive the attention he deserves. In the pages devoted to biography and mythology the Story of Ulysses from Ritchie's Fabula: Facile: has been included.
