 IV. Sight Reading from Prose Authors and from Ovid. 
 
 The examination in the authors will include (besides idiomatic 
 translation) questions on the construction and subject-matter, and, 
 in Vergil, on the prosody. 
 
 For collateral reading are suggested : — Plutarch's Lives of Cato 
 and Cicero ; Forsyth's (or Trollope's) Cicero ; Nettleship's Vergil, — 
 in " Green's Classical Writers " ( Appleton) ; Martin's Horace, — in 
 " Ancient Classics for English Readers " (Lippincott) ; the sections 
 in Cruttwell's History of Roman Literature bearing on the above 
 authors. 
 
 Students in both courses should, if possible, have Harper's 
 Latin Dictionary ; Allen & Greenough's [edition of i888] (or, 
 Harkness', or, Gildersleeve's) Latin Grammar ; Cruttwell's Roman 
 Literature ; Smith's Classical Dictionary ; Becker's Gallus ; a His- 
 tory of Rome, — Mommsen's History (for the Republic) and 
 Merivale's (for the Empire) are the fullest and best ; good compends 
 are Merivale's General History of Rome, Leighton's History, the 
 sections on Rome in Fisher's Universal History, and Gilman's Story 
 of Rome. 
 
 In both courses, in connection with the minute study of the 
 assigned texts, there should be rapid or "sight" reading from the 
 start. For this exercise in acquiring a large vocabulary and the 
 ability to easily use the language and literature, are recommended 
 such books as Eutropius, Nepos, Caesar's Gallic War, Cicero's 
 Tusculan Questions, the last six books of Vergil's Aeneid, the Latin 
 Testament, the Colloquies of Erasmus.
