📘 Excerpt from The Andrian, Heautontimoreumenos, and Hecyra of Terence
The expediency of undertaking the present work, was sug gested by a recent alteration in the course of classical study pursued in the University of Dublin. Accordingly, the plays appointed for undergraduates, who aspire to honors, have been omitted, and the character of the annotations has been adapted to the wants of those, who are not sufficiently advanced, to appreciate the niceties of critical research, or are preparing to enter on Colle giate studies. The Editor, however, has attempted to attain this object, rather by adding, what the inexperienced would require, than by omitting what the enquiring and more accomplished student might reasonably expect. No pains have been spared, by him, in selecting from the best editions, whatever appeared useful in explaining or illustrating the sense and allusions of the Author; whilst he has himself added such remarks, as appeared calculated to guide the taste, remove obscurity, or familiarize the idioms of the language.
