VIRGIL'S AENEID: WITH EXPLANATORY NOTES. BY HENRY S. FRIEZE, PROFESSOR OF LATIN IN THE STATE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN, NEW YORK: D. APPLETON AND COMPANY, 443 & 445 BROADWAY. LONDON: 16 LITTLE BRITAIN, 1866. HARVARD 047X172 ENTERED, according to Act of Congress, in the year 1860, by D. APPLETON & CO., In the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the United States for the Southern District of New York. THE REV. HENRY P. TAPPAN, D.D., LL.D., CORRESPONDING MEMBER OF THE INSTITUTE OF FRANCE, CHANCELLOR OF THE STATE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN THIS EDITION OF THE AENEID SI MOST RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED. PREFACE. Ir has been thought desirable to adopt for the present edition of the Aeneid a standard text, and to adhere to it throughout, without any variation, even in those few passages where the editor might prefer a change of reading. Accordingly the revised text of Jahn, as one of the most faultless and reliable, and as the one at present, perhaps, most generally approved, has been carefully reprinted from the German edition, as the basis of the school commentary here offered to the American student. The notes have been derived from most of the ablest commentators on the Aeneid, and more especially from Heyne, Wagner, Thiel, and Forbiger. The editor has also frequently consulted the numerous school and col lege editions, and is particularly indebted to the admirable commentaries of Theodore Ladewig and A. H. Bryce, recently published, the former in Berlin, and the latter in London and Glasgow. To meet the wants of American students, very frequent references are made in the notes, especially in the earlier part of the work, to the revised edition of Andrews and Stoddard's Latin Grammar, and to Dr. Anthon's edition of Zumpt's Latin Grammar.
