APPENDIX

This Appendix furnishes ample verbal material to prepare students
to pass any college entrance examination based on the orations of
Cicero which are regularly read in secondary schools. Since Caesar
and Cicero both wrote Latin, and wrote contemporaneously, the prin¬
ciples of the syntax of the language, as set forth in the lessons of this
book, apply equally well to the writings of both. The only important
difference between the language of the two authors lies in the vocabu¬
lary, for each writer requires for the treatment of his particular subject
some words which are not needed by the other. No student should
be expected in his writing to imitate personal idiosyncrasies of style.
