Quum fratres Carvilii, optimis de literis optime merentes bibliopolae, Sallustium prelo subjiciendum curarent, manumque meam adjutricem, (parvum sane auxilium,) animo bene volenti conquirerent, Sosiorum amicissimorum studiis liberalissimis quin obsequerer nullus dubitavi. Quamquam aliis igitur negotiis districtus, (nam in poëmata Horatiana, et in res saeculorum praeteritorum geographicas, curam operamque haud mediocriter impendo, Deoque favente ad finem labores meos prope diem perduxero,) Sallustianas historias ea forma donare in animum induxi, quae parva, ha

Duo enim anni ferme exacti sunt, cum, parentis sui curis destitutam, (nam e vivis excesserat vir doctissimus,) mea qualicunque opella editionem Wilsonianam adjuvi, atque id officii reddere conatus sum quod et praeceptor et amicus postulavit.

Praeceptoris nomen dulcissimam viri revocavit memoriam. Priusquam igitur rationes operis diligentius expono, perplacet illa addere, quae viri amicissimi, in editionis supra laudatae prooemio, manes expiaturus conscripsi.

Praeceptore meo venerabili fatis abrepto, Sallustiique ab illo ornati redemptoribus librariis novam editionem sub prelum missuris,
