Transcriber’s Note

The author’s footnotes have been moved to the end of the volume.

In Chapter V on [page 180], the printer has missed the section heading “II.” It has been restored; the two following section headings were changed from “II.” to “III.” ([page 185]) and “III.” to “IV.” ([page 190]), matching the Table of Contents. In the Table of Contents, several page references were corrected: [“61” changed to “60”], [“294” changed to “295”], [“354” changed to “355”], [“364” changed to “365” (twice).]

The last footnote on page 232 and the first footnote on page 232 have been [combined], since the only reason for the separate notes was a page break in the original edition.

The following typographical errors were corrected:

[page 2], period added after “Catullum”
[page 52], “of” added between “testimony” and “Ovid”
[page 65], “inuenissem” changed to “invenissem”
[page 91], “nfluence” changed to “influence”
[page 132], “neighborhood” changed to “neighbourhood”
[page 145], quote added after “âmes.”
[page 244], period added after “V”
[page 322], “Hyrcansive” changed to “Hyrcanisve”
[page 363], “Gründriss” changed to “Grundriss”

Unusual spellings (“develope”, “ascendency”), spelling variations (“Garda” and “Guarda”; “Aeneis” and “Aeneid”, “steadfast” and “stedfastly”, “acknowledgment” and “acknowledgement”, “judgement” and “judgment”, “unmistakable” and “unmistakeable”, “medieval” and “mediaeval”) and variations in hyphenation (“background” and “back-ground”, “birthday” and “birth-day”, “commonplace” and “common-place”, “cornfields” and “corn-fields”, “lawgiver” and “law-giver”, “lifelike” and “life-like”, “lifetime” and “life-time”, “masterpiece” and “master-piece”, “ploughshare” and “plough-share”, “reorganisation” and “re-organisation”) are retained.
