In addition to several school editions of portions of Cicero , Thucydides , Xenophon and Plutarch , he published an expurgated text of Aristophanes with a useful onomasticon (re-issued separately, 1902) and larger editions of Cicero 's ''De officiis'' (revised ed., 1898) and of the ''Octavius'' of Minucius Felix (1853). His chief works, however, were his ''Foliorum silvula'' (1852), a collection of English extracts for translation into Greek and Latin verse; ''Folia silvulae'' (translations of the same); and ''Foliorum centuriae'', a companion volume of extracts for Latin prose translation. In English schools these books have been widely used for the teaching of Latin and Greek composition. REFERENCES |
