volvere, vivere, and vivus.

Consideration for them prompted me to use the v and j spelling throughout the book.

For their generous permission to use previously published material I owe a debt of gratitude to the following: To Msgr. Hugh T. Henry, for his translation of the hymn Aeterne Rerum Conditor; To Rev. Matthew Germing, S. J., for his instructive article on the "Revision of the Breviary Hymns"; To the editors of the Loeb "Classical Library" for the translation of selections from Ausonius, by Evelyn White; To J. M. Dent and Co., Aldine House, London, for the excellent verse translation, by Messrs. Pope and Davis, of the Epilog of Prudentius and of two hymns from the Cathemerinon, the Hymnus Omnis Horae and the Hymnus ad Incensum Lucernae.

A final word of advice will not be amiss. The college student whose Latin course has been restricted to the classic literature of Rome will find himself in an entirely new atmosphere in this book. The twelve pages of the Introductory Study will give him the proper orientation; for him those pages are an indispensable aid toward an intelligent appreciation of the early Christian Latin poets.
