Virgil's Aeneid, Book I-Vi e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. We must always remember that it is not What a pupil might do, but what he can and will do, which sets the limits of correct text-book making. The time of the secondary school pupil is so filled today that the number of hours which can be devoted to any one subject is by no means large. Under these conditions it is very easy to miss the Inark, - to so direct the pupil that he sees this great epic through a glass darkly and not face to face. While no book can obviate the inevitable effects of poor teaching, a well-made one greatly increases the efficiency of a real teacher and frequently saves an indifferent one from disaster.
