DE VIRIS ILLUSTRIBUS URBIS ROMAE: Being a Latin Reading-Book, with Notes and a Vocabulary. "De Viris Illustribus" contains a chronologically arranged and connected series o graphic tableaux of Roman History, framed on the model of the "Lives" of "Cornelius Nepos." The pieces are adapted, as regards both subject-matter and language, to the earlier stages of Latin reading, and drawn from precisely the same sources as those to which the student is accustomed, at a later period, to betake himself. The more interesting events of the grand epochs of the territorial enlargement and political growth of Rome are grouped around the men who played a prominent part in public affairs, from the foundation of the city to the death of Augustus. The work, therefore, embraces accounts of the Equian and Volscian wars; Gallic invasion; Samnite and Epirote wars; Punic wars; Macedonian, Spanish, and Servile wars; the Cimbrian, Social, Mithridatic and later Civil wars.
