To return to the present " Clavis" -- Though I had origi-
nally intended it for the Dauphin edition alone, as being
most read in schools, a casual co-incidence induced me tc
extend its utility. While engaged in preparing it for the
press, I happened likewise to be engaged, as Editor, in pro-
ducing that new edition of Virgil, of "the Regent's Classics,'"
which (with the addition of the " Culex," &c. ) is now on the
eve of publication. Using Heyne's edition as my prototype,
I marked, in my progress, his corrections of the text; and,
wherever any one of them involves a poetic licence, I have
noticed it in this " Clavis;" which, therefore, in that as well
as in other respects, will prove more generally satisfactory
than tfie abridged " Clavis," annexed to the Dauphin Virgil;
an abridgement, for which I crave the public indulgence, if
it should be found to contain any inaccuracies -- the more
excusable, as the quotations are only single words, so liable
to mistakes, when detached from the context.
For the convenience of those who may wish to know, with-
out the labor of research, to what extent Virgil has indulged
in each particular species of metrical licence, I have, at the
end of the volume, given a recapitulatory " Synopsis" exhi-
biting the different species distributed into distinct classes --
each class at once presenting to the eye the whole number of
examples noticed in the " Clavis," with proper references to
the places where they severally occur.
