Legends of Ancient Rome From Livy: Adapted and Edited With Notes, Exercises, and Vocabularies (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Legends of Ancient Rome From Livy: Adapted and Edited With Notes, Exercises, and Vocabularies This selection has been compiled for the use of boys who could make out an easy passage of such an author as Caesar, but would be stopped by long or difficult sentences. It is hoped that the passages will be found, at any rate in the earlier part of the book, to be of progressive difficulty. The attempt to attain this end has led to the omission of some legends of the kings which could not have been made easy enough Without much alteration of the text. As this would have left them not Livy’s, but something very inferior, it was thought better to omit them altogether.
