Excerpt from Remains of Old Latin, Vol. 3 of 4: Newly Edited and Translated; Lucilius, the Twelve Tables IN the introduction to the first volume of this series of Remains of Old Latin it was stated (pp. Vii - viii) that there would be three volumes; that, of literary remains, fragments of poets only would be included; and that the third volume would contain Lucilius and old Latin inscriptions. But a change in plan has now been made, so as to include the Twelve Tables of Roman Law, without excluding inscriptions of a readable length down to 80 b.c. The series there fore contains four volumes instead of three, Lucilius and the Twelve Tables being assigned to this volume - the third - the inscriptions to the fourth. Pages vii - viii of the introduction to volume I, and the title pages of volumes I and II, no longer describe the scope of the series accurately. This is to be regretted, but the change is for the better. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
