PREFACE.
WHILE
writing
my
Short Historical
Latin
Grammar,
I
often wished
that
there
was
a
suitable collection of
specimens
of
Latin,
chronologically
arranged,
to which
the student
might
be
referred.
The
proposal
of
Messrs.
Allyn
and
Bacon,
that
a Handbook of Latin
Inscriptions
illustrative
of the
history
of the
language
should be
compiled
for
their
educational
series,
was
therefore
very
welcome. From
merely
turning
over
the
pages
of a book of this
kind
one
will
sometimes
learn more
than
from
the most
elaborate
array
of
rules,
just
as
the
successive
pictures
of a
panorama
are
often
more
instructive
than
the
showman's
lecture.
In
a few
cases,
where it
seemed
advisable,
documents
which
cannot
strictly
be called
'
Inscriptions
'
have
been
included
(Nos.
4,
65, 67, 78,
83,
84).
The
expression
of
long
i
by
i
with an
apex,
instead
of
by
the tall form
of
the
letter,
in
Chap.
III.,
is a
concession to
typographical
convenience.
