this work were specially interested in that portion on
which I am now entering, and which, owing to the

readers, since it necessitates a dry exposition of rules.
Quintilian. With an English Translation. Harold Edgeworth Butler. Cambridge. Cambridge, Mass., Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann, Ltd. 1920.
