SELECTIONS FROM CICERO ORATIONS, LETTERS, AND DE SENECTUTE WITH INTRODUCTION, NOTES AND VOCABULARY BY CHARLES E. BENNETT FORMERLY GOLDWIN SMITH PROFESSOR OF LATIN PREFATORY NOTE PROFESSOR Bennett, distinguished scholar, able and enthusiastic teacher, widely known for his excellent and eminently sensible text-books, died on May 2, 1921. At the time of his death he had finished the new edition of his CICERO, in which he had added to the six Orations a number of selected Letters and the entire Essay on Old Age (De Senectute). It is therefore entirely his work, but for any purely typographical errors the undersigned must be held responsible. The number of these has been greatly reduced by the valuable assistance rendered by Professor Mary B. McElwain, of Smith College, a former student of Professor Bennett's in the Graduate School of Cornell University and, like myself, his devoted friend. JOHN C. ROLFE. AUGUST, 1922. iii |
