Excerpt from Eutropi Historia Romana: Selections From The History Of The Republican Period As a school author Eutropius offers the advantage of giving a concise account of some of the more salient episodes of Roman history. The book is a mere epitome, and therefore some of the events that are of most interest in tracing philo sophically the progress of the Roman people in civilization and government are either entirely omitted or are treated with such brevity as to lose their main value. The present selections cover such portions of the history of the republic as it is well to have the pupil familiar with by the time that he reads Caesar and Cicero. Several verbal changes - quite permissible, considering the first object of the book have seemed advisa ble in connecting passages separated in the original text. Some attempt at originality has been made in the theme work, the general idea of which has been taken from the best inter mediate and grammar grade language books, a source from which many valuable hints may be drawn in teaching Latin.
